He made a good point I had never considered: His pitching style, especially among dominant starting pitchers, was a big atypical, which made it difficult on hitters. His velocity in his prime, however, about 90 on the fastball, was actually pretty mainstream for major league starters. Relievers throw faster on average for obvious reasons: They don't have to conserve energy since their mount stints are a lot shorter.
