When he was having weight issues the previous years, he throws 93-94, and he allegedly lost weight coming into this season, so figures. The funny thing is, the guys throw over 100mph Strasburg and Chapman are skinny dipsticks also, it really depends on the guys arm speed to a good fastball, so Sale should be fine even if he stays Alexei skinny

He's thrown 22 pitches this season that have broken 97 mph.
