I found this article to be very interesting. And the part at the end of the article talking about the new MLB enhanced gameday shows what the new version looks like, and let me say they used at the end of the year last year and it was awesome! www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/zoooomaya-and-speed-guns/ |

Two things jumped out at me at Zumaya's fastball numbers.
1. The difference in average fastball speed between Zumaya and the next fastest pitcher (Wagner) is roughly 2 mph. The difference between #2 and #10 fastest pitcher is only 1.5 mph.
- Side note: The article claimed the standard deviation on Zumaya's fastball speed was 2 mph, meaning his average fastball is 1 standard deviation faster than the next fastest pitcher's fastball. Not to get technical, but that is off the hook good (in the parlance of our times).
2. Zumaya threw more fastballs over 100 mph than the all other MLB pitchers combined in 2006, or in 2005, or in 2004, or ever, probably.........In just over 80 innings pitched.
