This is your Tigers Stats, News, Rumors, and Commentary Roundup for the Morning of August 20, 2021.
A Look at Tigers Pitchers’ Velocity Metrics
Spencer Turnbull
He throws an above-average Fastball in velocity and he throws it on average 94.2 miles per hour. The lack of a meaningful change in velocities is a problem if Spencer Turnbull wants to continue using a Changeup in his arsenal. The difference between his Fastball and Changeup is 7.1. 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 85.3 miles per hour.
Jose Cisnero
He throws an above-average Fastball in velocity and he throws it on average 96.7 miles per hour. The lack of a meaningful change in velocities is a problem if Jose Cisnero wants to continue using a Changeup in his arsenal. The difference between his Fastball and Changeup is 5.9. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Curveball because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire. He features a slider that generates above-average velocity on average, which is 88.4 miles per hour.
Kyle Funkhouser
He throws an above-average Fastball in velocity and he throws it on average 95.7 miles per hour. The lack of a meaningful change in velocities is a problem if Kyle Funkhouser wants to continue using a Changeup in his arsenal. The difference between his Fastball and Changeup is 6.7. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Curveball because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire. He features a slider that generates above-average velocity on average, which is 86.7 miles per hour.
Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…
“He scored on a Cabrera ground out, and the Whitecaps led by two. Jake Holton singled home Wenceel Perez in the third, and then Hill leaked a run in the fourth. Parker Meadows struck out, but Jake Holton came through with an RBI single that also moved Perez to third. Jupiter Hammerheads 4, Lakeland Flying Tigers 3 (box) Lakeland got a good outing from Ricky Davila, but the offense just never found its footing in this one.”
“I don’t blame Justin Upton for arguing,” Hinch said. When Hinch took issue with a catcher’s interference call that put a second runner on in the fifth inning against rookie starter Matt Manning, the Tigers had an eight-run lead. “We’re not in a good place with the bullpen,” Hinch said. It wasn’t the call itself that Hinch disputed, but the delay that allowed the Angels extra time.”
