In high school maybe. 

Pretty sure Bundy was topping out at 98 as late as 2016 as a reliever for us.    But it’s been all downhill since, velocity-wise.

I saw him at 98 in Frederick. But he has been nothing but arm trouble since then.  A tribute for pitching so well with that arm.

On July 6, 2016 Bundy averaged 96.8 MPH on his fastball in a 2.1 shutout IP stint in which he struck out 7, walked 2 and allowed 3 hits. They don't break it down past the game average, but the was his highest day in the major leagues, so it's certainly possible he hit 98 once.

His highest avg as a starter? His major league debut at 94.4. 

Since? 93.5 in 2017?

In 2019? 92.4 in August 14th.

Here’s that game from 2016.  He hit 98.5.   http://www.brooksbaseball.net/pfxVB/pfx.php?s_type=3&sp_type=1&batterX=0&year=2016&month=7&day=6&pitchSel=605164.xml&game=gid_2016_07_06_balmlb_lanmlb_1%2f&prevGame=gid_2016_07_06_balmlb_lanmlb_1%2f

If he makes it, his Felix-type King's Court section has to be the Bauhaus.

Good catch.

I got one right, finally validation in life.

Regardless of whether it was banned or just discouraged, I am curious if the new regime has said anything about a change.

I would doubt it as that would never be their philosophy, so I'm sure they wouldn't even think to mention it unless someone outright asked directly.  "Lean on your best pitch" is their mindset.

He had a great MLB career. There are 800 of these guys. And pitchers break hearts. 

Why are we viewing his career in the past tense?  Did he retire?

Flexor tendon, not UCL.  At any rate, hope he comes back.  Loved that guy.
