Royals starter Zack Greinke may not have the most velocity on his fastball late into his 20th MLB season, but it seems his changeup still packs a bit of a punch.
By the fifth inning of his start against the Tigers on Tuesday, Greinke’s fastball had lost a bit of steam, sitting at around 87 mph after clocking in around 90 mph in the first. His “off-speed” stuff, however, still had some zip.
Greinke’s changeup during the later innings was clocking in at 88 mph, as he somehow managed to throw it faster than his four-seam fastball.
