Couple of interesting articles

I wanted to ask:
1. Has Arrieta always thrown across his body THAT much? Maybe it's the angle, but I never thought it was that pronounced.
2. Did I miss the discussion on the new way they are measuring velocity this year? I caught (and participated) in discussions on how everyone (except Greinke) on the Diamondbacks is throwing harder this year and Kendell Graveman's velocity spike was discussed, yet I didn't see anything about how it's measured differently this year and thus all increases in velocity should be taken with a grain of salt.

I never knew some organizations have banned the use of cut fastballs - including Baltimore.
