I have NEVER understood why Washburn's fastball doesn't get hit harder than it does.
Some reason exists. I have no clue what that reason is. Do you?
Washburn, IMHO, is an oddddddddd duck. There have been games where he threw 90% minus fastballs and never really got splashed. Inside Pitch used to call it "that little hop" on his fastball that keeps guys from teeing off. I don't even know what that means.
