A Look at Rangers Pitchers’ Velocity Metrics
Joe Barlow
He throws an above-average Fastball in velocity and he throws it on average 94.5 miles per hour. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Changeup because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire. His Four Seam Fastball has an above average velocity difference from his Curveball, which is helpful in the art of pitching. He features a slider that generates above-average velocity on average, which is 86.0 miles per hour.
Brett Martin
His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 93.4 miles per hour. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Changeup because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire. His Four Seam Fastball has a below average velocity difference from his Curveball, which is not very good as hitters looking for a Fastball could find a way to still make good timed contact with his Curveball given the lack of velocity difference. It is only a 11.0 MPH difference. He features a slider that generates above-average velocity on average, which is 87.7 miles per hour.
Drew Anderson
His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 92.5 miles per hour. The lack of a meaningful change in velocities is a problem if Drew Anderson wants to continue using a Changeup in his arsenal. The difference between his Fastball and Changeup is 5.9. His Four Seam Fastball has an above average velocity difference from his Curveball, which is helpful in the art of pitching. He throws a softer slider than the average pitcher, his slider velocity is only 83.8 miles per hour.
John King
His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 92.3 miles per hour. The difference between his average Four Seam Fastball and Changeup is 13.9, which is over 10 MPH and that is highly desired as the changeup is a more sudden change in velocity. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Curveball because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire.

Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…
“The Rangers pulled off a nice little comeback win yesterday as Adolis Garcia broke franchise records and stuff. RIP to a Rangers icon. Weaver also has a piece up on Rangers pitching prospect Zak Kent, who’s had a pretty stellar year across a couple of minor league levels. Levi Weaver has a new Weaver Wire up where he discusses Adolis’ Rookie of the Year chances and if this has been the worst Rangers offense ever.”

“To break that record is a pretty cool moment.” García now sits at 31 home runs and 90 RBIs in his rookie season, overtaking both of Incaviglia’s club marks. García is also just the 14th rookie in American League history with 30-plus homers and 90-plus RBIs in a season and the third in the last 24 years, joining José Abreu in 2014 and Aaron Judge in 2017. In the last week of the 2021 season, García has continued to add to his AL Rookie of the Year candidacy. “I didn’t even know I still held the records,” Incaviglia joked.”
“AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL Indians Twins Louie Varland, RHP (No. AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST Blue Jays Zach Logue, RHP: The 2017 ninth-rounder played his way into Top 30 consideration with a 3.75 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 136 strikeouts (most among Toronto farmhands) over 120 innings at Double-A and Triple-A. Marlins Mets Nationals Phillies NATIONAL LEAGUE CENTRAL Brewers Cardinals Cubs Pirates Reds NATIONAL LEAGUE WEST D-backs Dodgers Gavin Stone, RHP (No. 29): It’s really a question of what the 2019 15th-round pick didn’t lead the organization in while splitting the year between two levels of A ball, topping Twins pitching prospects in ERA (2.09), strikeouts (142), strikeout percentage (33.7) and WHIP (1.09) to go along with a stingy .212 BAA.”
