Amp Up Alvarado!
-
Despite the HR in Game 1, Jose Alvarado hasn't thrown a pitch under 100mph in two innings in the playoffs.
He was consistently throwing the cutter at 100mph+ throughout September.
Think we can add 10mph to his sinker and cutter SDS?
If we're going to give Ozzie Smith 99 power, let's give these pitchers a chance.

The graphic from Game 1 showed that kid hit a 101mph cutter.
I'm not saying it was right. But he's throwing at least two pitches at 100mph+ -

I'm not saying it was right. But he's throwing at least two pitches at 100mph+I saw that pitch, it was a 4S. even on the phils broadcasts they mislabel his pitches.
In the mid season update they did get his 4S and cutter right, his snk does need a boost though, he throws it just as hard as the 4S.
same for wheeler, he also throws his snk as hard as his 4S. -

My son and I were watching (me a washed up College pitcher and he going to play in College next year), and we were both questioning what the monitor was "calling" for a lot of pitches.That HR was center cut 4-seamer.
