@Senna posted:PBR continues @ Lakepoint this weekend. Watching LHPs in the low 90s and a RHP topping 100 was amazing. Looks like some young guns were definitely able to stay on path during the past few months....
Someone sent me the twitter on the RHP who hit 100, Chase Burns. I see on Diamondcast he was topping at 92 last July. Some of these kids make amazing leaps in velocity over a year and it's particularly impressive given lack of access to gyms the past few months. Last July I noticed he was 92 in the first inning, sat 90-92 for that inning, and then dropped to 87-88 until his last pitch which bumped back to 90. Yesterday he hit 100 in the first inning (according to screen shot, no diamondcast I can find). Are pitchers at these big tourney told to jack it up early to put up a number and then back off to last a few innings or is it just normal to be faster early due to being fresh and the adrenalin?
