Kyle Lewis was the only player to have an exit velocity above 89.1 against Greene today and that was only 95.9 on his Single in the first inning, which he was stranded on a weak exit velocity of 44.7 Groundout from the next batter.
We have got some elite pitching in Greene, Lodolo and Ashcraft.
It's actually going to be a fun season and this team will actually stay in contention for most of the year.

I figured his limit would be 60.

Nice job, Ian. We need guys coming in after Greene, Lodolo and Ashcraft to shut the doors, or more clearly....keep the doors shut and turn their great pitching performances into Wins for them, not losses from the bullpen, or even wins from the bullpen.

Sometimes, I'll forget to place an "e" at the end of Hunter's name, but it's like the great novelist's name, Graham Greene. Both the first and last name of Hunter Greene are the same as two of the greatest novelists of the 20th Century, Hunter S. Thompson and Graham Greene.

Kyle Lewis actually had one other exity velocity above 89.1, that was his GIDP of 97.1. So, even when Green got his kind of hard, it was directed to a fielder into a double-play, so it's not like Greene put the ball into a position where damage could be done, but in fact, the opposite. You actually want the ball getting to the infielder a little faster and not dribble to him for an infield hit or a productive out. Incredible display of pitching.
