Just watched a very interesting interview with John Smoltz on Flipping Bats podcast on YouTube. He makes some very interesting points regarding this topic. I agree with what he is saying. Velo chasing is NOT going to end anytime soon because that is the ONLY thing that gets you an opportunity. If you don’t throw gas you will never get an opportunity at the next level (whatever that is) to prove that you can pitch. Then you get injured chasing the velo and you never get an opportunity at the next level. It’s a cruel truth.
