Looking at the numbers from yesterday's start, Carrasco's velocity was right in line with where it's been since the start of 2016.
2016: 93.8
2017: 94.3
2018: 93.5
2019: 93.5
7/26/20: 93.9
What's interesting is his pitch distribution according to Fangraphs. Typically, Cookie has been a 50% fastball guy, but yesterday he threw it just 34.5% of the time. Another interesting thing was that they had him throwing far more curveballs and far fewer sliders than usual, although this could be a classification error thing since their velocity is relatively similar.
