And I agree with the vast majority of sports, but we're talking about a knuckleball.... Not exactly a pitch that needs to be thrown 90+. Wakefield only threw 60-65 with his. What would matter if it was a chick throwing a 60 mph knuckler?
He'll need that change up though for long term success though. If everything breaks the same way and it's just a few mph speed difference, the league would catch up. He's thrown some nice change- ups tonight though
As long as he gives Stroman the same zone, I don't care at this point. It's just that we've seen some very questionable umpiring going in the Yankees lately
The thing with Japan though, they make sure the kids are repeating their deliveries and throwing fundamentally sound before they get thrown Into the ground. Not sure if their leagues are year round either
