Loving these 4 IP outings from Devo. It's like having another starting pitcher out there. I have 14 K's and a win from him this week for $5

They started measuring the speed as it leaves the pitchers hand instead of closer to the plate, if I understand what's going on. It's made a lot of guys look like they've gained speed on their pitches. What I haven't seen explained is why that would show up as a major increase in pitchers like Morton, but not as much of a jump for others. Seems like Morton really is throwing harder, but it may not be a full 4mph due to the revised means of collecting the data.

He also had the spike last year in the few starts he made. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/insta...f-astros-camp/In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

Another look at the magnitude of the velocity changes due to the new method of measuring:

Originally posted by Ken View PostWhile true that the readings are higher due to the change from PitchFx to Statcast (http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/about...locity-spikes/), my understanding is that on average it represents a change of ~1 MPH on average and it varies between ~0.5 and ~1.5 depending on the original velocity. I think there's a mechanics change that accounts for the majority of this for Morton.
