Note: Santana at 91 and 92
During yesterday’s game, Johan Santana allowed one run on two hits while striking out four and walking one through three innings.
…according to the scout sitting behind me, his fastball was consistently at 91 mph, while topping out around 92, “which is good,” he said, “for now,”…
Santana, on his pitches, talking to reporters after the game…
“I feel better every day, every start…Today we were working on my change-up and some breaking balls and I felt pretty good…I’m right where I’m supposed to be.”
…yes, the change-up looked good, as did his fastball, but what i enjoy watching is how he is always pitching from ahead in the count, which allows him to utilize the change-up so effectively…
