Let's talk velocity

I got curious about the velocity of the pitching staff. When I get curious, you have something to read. All figures are courtesy of FanGraphs. In the off-season, we'll look at changes from 2008 to 2009, and what we might be able to expect in 2010. For the time being, let's just look at the velocity of pitchers based on four pitch types.

FB = Fastball
CB = Curveball
CH = Changeup
SL = Slider

Pitcher	FB Vel	CB Vel	CH Vel	SL Vel
Arias	93	81.4	80.5	82
Bazardo	92.1	-	83.1	83.4
Brocail	89.2	75.9	84.5	85.3
Byrdak	89.4	-	82.7	82.4
Fulchino	92.9	82.1	84.8	83.2
LaHawk	94.1	80.6	86	88.2
Moehler	87.6	77.6	81.2	82.9
Norris	93.5	-	86.5	87.5
Oswalt	93.1	72	83.4	84.1
Paulino	95.2	81.9	85.2	85.8
Valverde	95.8	84.1	85.3	85.8
Wandy	90.1	76.9	84	79.6
Wright	91.2	78.9	84.9	83

Biggest change in velocity from fastball to changeup goes to Alberto Arias with a -12.5mph drop.
