I share your concern about Misiorowski, to some degree. 95-98 mph might be enough. I leave it to the experts to say it would make a difference. Just because it “seems” like it would, doesn’t mean we know it would. And forcing him to pitch unnaturally may create its own problems. Also- they kept his pitch count pretty conservative last year and earlier this year. That said, point taken. He could be better than Nolan Ryan, but only if he lasts that long.
Yeah, not buying it today. Ryan didn't throw 100 every time and he lasted forever. Today's pitchers, sadly, don't last. It is why they try to rewrite the record books by creating new stats to make pitchers look better because very few last long enough to get into the legit record books. Kershaw, Scherzer, Verlander the last of their kind. The Miz, I fear he will not last long. Maybe as a closer one day . Good post. Thanks.
