Colt Griffin has struggled with control so far during his professional career. Right now he has backed off his working fastball to 93-94 mph according to a couple of articles I have read about him on the web.

I saw the kid pitch in HS - watching him from behind the backstop was unbelievable. A 100 mph fastball coming at you is unbelievable. I cannot imagine being a high school kid standing in the batters box trying to see it.

When you try to throw so hard that all that matters as to how much muscle force you can put on the ball then don't expect much in the way of accuracy!

The best pitchers learn to throw hard with control at about a 90% effort level.

Don't make any sence throwing 105 mph if you can't throw it were ya want it to go.

If you can't, then you chose the wrong sport. Perhaps you should of been a Javalin thrower, for they don't even need to have there eyes open when they throw!
