You're right, PG.

Do you know ... was Zach a really high-velo guy when he was young?

I don't know what I don't know, that's for sure - but I believe based on what I've read that pitchers who throw really hard are at a higher risk. And today, we see a LOT of young pitchers throwing very hard.

Maybe not.

Would you say PG sees more high-velo guys as a percentage of the whole today than they did, say, 5-7 years ago?
