This had struck me as an odd year on that front. Felix, Smyly, and Gallardo all picked up more velo than I had expected. One tick seems doable with some mechanical changes / better health, but two ticks seemed odd. Like, how bad did your mechanics have to be for you to lose two whole miles an hour as a veteran who should know your delivery (point being, it's way more embarrassing for Gallardo to be screwing up his delivery repeatedly than it was for, say, James Paxton). If one of those ticks is a phantom effect, that makes all of those gains a lot more explicable.
I agree with Matt above: if Kuma's gun has been reading HOT relative to last year... and he's coming in at 85 sometimes... he's officially this year's Jered Weaver. Scary to think about. This also makes me a bit less excited about Elias touching 95 a couple times the other day, which seemed like a significant gain to me.
