How to throw a sinking fastball?
If someone is throwing 97 an effective change up can be as fast as 90 MPH, but if he has good command than he will try and throw it around 87-89..If Bonds keeps it up where does that leave the Giants next season?
A change up is typically about 10% slower than a pitcher's fastball.75-80mph
in the high 80s, around 88.
Why do some people say Mark McGwire took steroids but Barry Bonds didnt take them?
If one throws 97 mph, the changeup has to be in the range of 75-85 mph. You want to change speed to put your batter in front. A 90 mph changeup wont do that.low to mid 70's, look no further than pedro martinez in his prime
a good change is about 83 at the lowest and 89 at the highest it will make all players look silly if its a good change
