Brox threw 11 pitches, 8 strikes. They were all fastballs. Every strike was either swinging or fouled off. He hit 97mph five times, 98mph twice, 99mph twice, and 100mph once. He struck out two of the three batters he faced. And if I took the time to show you what Gameday had for each batter, you’d see he barely missed the strike zone at all.
That’s how you beat people with heat. Are you listening, Jonathan Papelbon?
