Re: HOW hard does Cordero Throw?
This is a list from August 2006 that I found on actasports.com of the hardest throwers in the game in 05 and 06:
Who are the hardest throwers? They are all relievers except Daniel Cabrera. Here's the top ten list over the last two years: Name Team Throws Avg Fastball (MPH) Joel Zumaya Tigers R 98.56 Billy Wagner Mets L 96.47 Bobby Jenks White Sox R 96.29 Kyle Farnsworth Yankees R 96.20 Ambiorix Burgos Royals R 96.04 Brad Lidge Astros R 95.78 Francisco Cordero Brewers R 95.75 Daniel Cabrera Orioles R 95.74 Derrick Turnbow Brewers R 95.68 Mark Lowe Mariners R 95.61 |

Re: HOW hard does Cordero Throw?

Nice stat. Thanks for the site link. It shows why Weathers has been around for so long, and why I am now scared about Cordero's four year contract. That's a lot of sliders on his elbow. |

Got any figures on Burton? It would be interesting to see where he falls in with the other two. |
