Gausman reduced velo

#1 Post by CubFan »

How concerned are you that his velo has been down substantially in his first two starts compared to last season? FB down almost 4 mph from last year and 2.7 mph from last start. This may work against the Royals but I suspect it won't against higher competition. Lynn got smoked today with his FB down almost 2 ticks from his season opener. Dead arm period or hoist the yellow flag?

Minimal concern. Not enough for a knee-jerk reaction, but sufficient to pay close attention to the news and monitor his next start.
