Pitch clock leading to reduced velo?

#1 Post by CubFan »

Been reading/hearing more and more from players that the shorter recovery time between pitches/innings is leading to their reduced velo. I've seen a lot of SPs with a significant loss of velo. I know it's only 2 starts for most of them but where there is smoke....... You think there is much to this or much ado about nothing?

Everyone I have heard talk about the pitch clock and its effects predicted there would be some early getting used to things, then business as normal - so no, I'm not worried.
