As I had done an analysis of Zito earlier, I wanted to point out the report yesterday that he was throwing harder so far.
If, in fact, he is capable of kicking it up a notch (Bam!), then he will likely be in the running for a Cy Young. Assuming the increased velocity translates into more strikeouts, a jump from his 160 strikeout level to the 200 one would mean 40 fewer ABs that could result in a hit or a walk.
What type of performance would one expect from a 200 strikeout lefty? One with five plus years of major league pitching experience? 3.00/1.10?
