A Look at Rangers Pitchers’ Velocity Metrics
Joe Barlow
He throws an above-average Fastball in velocity and he throws it on average 94.5 miles per hour. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Changeup because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire. His Four Seam Fastball has an above average velocity difference from his Curveball, which is helpful in the art of pitching. He features a slider that generates above-average velocity on average, which is 85.5 miles per hour.
Brett Martin
His Fastball is below average in terms of velocity and he throws it on average 93.4 miles per hour. We are not able to compare his Four Seam Fastball to his Changeup because he does not feature both pitches in his repertoire. His Four Seam Fastball has a below average velocity difference from his Curveball, which is not very good as hitters looking for a Fastball could find a way to still make good timed contact with his Curveball given the lack of velocity difference. It is only a 11.0 MPH difference. He features a slider that generates above-average velocity on average, which is 87.9 miles per hour.
Now onto the News, Rumors, and Commentary…
“The Rangers and assistant general manager Shiraz Rehman have parted ways, the team announced. (Levi Weaver and Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic first reported the news shortly before the announcement). “After discussions with Shiraz, we mutually agreed that it is best to part ways at this time,” president of baseball operations Jon Daniels said in…”
“The Rangers lost to the Mariners in a whacky afternoon game yesterday, despite a surprising comeback and an incredible Adolis Garcia catch. Jeff Wilson has Woodward quotes in his morning newsletter that suggest the Rangers will be adding “a lot of pieces” in the offseason. The Rangers next start up a series against the Red Sox, first game against Chris Sale from Fenway tonight at 6:10. In case you missed it yesterday, the Rangers have parted ways with assistant GM Shiraz Rehman.”

“Round Rock box score Dylan MacLean started in Surprise, and allowed three runs in two innings of work on three hits and three walks, striking out two. Lockhart allowed three runs in five innings of work on seven hits, including a homer, with one walk and three strikeouts. Adrian Rodriguez went 0.2 IP with two hits, three walks and two strikeouts, allowing two runs. Cole Uvila threw two shutout innings, walking three and allowing a hit.”
“We’ve just got to keep battling and keep trusting the process.” Woodward said it was a roller coaster of emotions all game and that it was one of the club’s worst games of the season until the ninth inning. He’s got power to all fields. Woodward said Howard was OK mechanically but vastly inconsistent when facing Seattle this time around. He’s just got to stay disciplined in his approach.”
“Rehman’s role with the Rangers was vast prior to Young’s hire as GM, which allowed president Jon Daniels to slip into a role focused solely on baseball operations. Young is a former MLB pitcher (2004-17) who retired to take a position in the Commissioner’s Office prior to joining the Rangers. Rehman was highly regarded after being part of the front office that brought the Cubs a World Series in 2016. Rehman had been with the Rangers since October 2018, after seven seasons with the Chicago Cubs.”
