I still don't think he was throwing 100+. But those 99 and 98 looked more accurate.

What does a Kelsey agility drill look like?Originally Posted by bravesfanMatt
He was all over the place that inning. 94-99.
Give him a break he's trying to throw his changeup more.

It's a conspiracy, man. Both guns at the stadium have been altered to make Newcomb look better than he really is. Then they change it back during the commercial break for the Marlins pitcher.
Braves front office is shady and don't understand stats.
Come on braves... I didn't drive 5 hours for this. Love the stadium BTW
2 groundball outs to start the inning and 2 nice defensive plays. Always great to see.
Last 2 pitches were 98 and 99.
First 2 pitches to Yelich...98/99
Newk is doing a nice job of keeping the hitters off balance thus far.
Newcomb has all the makings of a TOR starter.
Did not know Newk could throw this hard.
If legit, we may have an ace.
If this velocity is legit - and I don't think it is - my opinion has been instantly altered on Newcomb's outlook
i love watching good mechanics newk. Get this guy three runs and it might be enough.
Even if it's 95/96 the easy motion will make it harder for hitters to square up. They just don't expect that type of velocity with a smooth motion like that.
Damn Newcomb
His stuff has never been the question though... it's been his control. Let's not go crazy after one start and 2 innings.
Straily is throwing an 88-90 mph fastball and and an 84-85 changeup. How is that working for him? That shouldn't work
Just got home and finally get to see Newcomb pitch. Not a big fan of the Simmons trade as it didn't look like newcomb would be good but well see
Get off my lawn!
