A Look at Braves Pitchers’ Velocity Metrics
Luke Jackson
He throws an above-average Fastball in velocity and he throws it on average 95.8 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 11.5 MPH difference. He features a slider that generates above-average velocity on average, which is 87.5 miles per hour.
Huascar Ynoa
He throws an above-average Fastball in velocity and he throws it on average 96.7 miles per hour. The difference between his average Four Seam Fastball and Changeup in terms of velocity is 8.3.

He features a slider that generates above-average velocity on average, which is 85.1 miles per hour.

He throws an above-average Fastball in velocity and he throws it on average 94.9 miles per hour. The lack of a meaningful change in velocities is a problem if Ian Anderson wants to continue using a Changeup in his arsenal. The difference between his Fastball and Changeup is 6.8. 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.

“The Athletic’s Keith Law released his third Mock Draft Friday morning and projects Nebraska two-way player Spencer Schwellenbach to the Braves. There still isn’t a consensus on what direction the Atlanta Braves might go and a lot will depend on who is available when they pick at No. We are just over two days away from the 2021 MLB Draft which will get underway Sunday at 7 p.m. MLB Pipeline points out that many teams see him as a mid-rotation starter with three quality pitchers.”
“Dodgers prospect stats » Phillies: Logan O’Hoppe, C (No. The top Dodgers prospect had a brief stint with the Major League club in May before being sent back down, but the 22-year-old has hit .301 in Triple-A since then and has reached base safely in his past 11 games. 41), Triple-A Oklahoma City Ruiz cracked his 12th homer of the season (this one went off the video board!) as part of his first four-hit game of the season, driving in his 29th and 30th runs of the season on a solo shot and a single.
