Just seemed to be throwing all of his pitches for strikes . Had a good mix of fastball,curve, slider and change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 While I'm on a rant and how shit the GameDay experience has turned into: Stopping the game with 2 strikes and 2 outs on Mike Trout is STUPID. All the players and umpires left the field. Except for Vince Velazquez on the mound and Mike Trout in the box. It was funny to see but they wanted to finish it. Velasquez almost threw a fake pitch as a result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Velasquez averaged half a MPH faster on his fastball today. He mostly was at 92-94 before today and he was hitting 95 in the 5th inning. He got 9 of his 13 whiffs on the fastball. He could just be feeling good today, but it's encouraging after seeing him suck for the first 3 starts.

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 So if Velazquez is actually good now, do the Sox suddenly have TOO MUCH starting pitching? 😉 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Kopech is down I'm convinced it's a repeating his mechanics thing because he fluctuates betweeen 92-94 and 95-97 within starts. Remember, Kopech had Covid and a late start to ST so some rust and inconsistency is expected for him. It's basically the end of ST in a normal year for him.

brijames1957 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 You can't ask for more than VV just gave. Great outing. The Sox absolutely can't blow this game and waste his great effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Pretty much every pitcher can dominate with their A+ stuff working, even 2 pitch guys. Wonder if this is VV at his absolute best or if there’s more to this. Edited April 30, 2022 by Jerksticks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He threw 4 different pitches more than 10% of the time and he was able to throw them all for strikes. I'd wonder how many starts in his career where that's been the case.
