Rockies’ Kyle Freeland “a bit concerned” over drop in fastball velocity

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:03:27 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — The velocity on Kyle Freeland’s fastball is down, of that there can be no doubt.To say that it’s an alarming trend would be saying too much, but it’s certainly been on the mind of the Rockies’ 30-year-old left-hander.“It’s a little bit concerning,” Freeland said Friday before the Rockies played the Giants at Oracle Park. “But you know that I’ve never been one to say that I can’t pitch without high velo. I’m still going to go out and use my mix of pitches to try and get outs. Obviously, velocity on your pitches is going to help with that because hitters aren’t going to be able to track the pitch as long.“But it’s not a massive concern, especially since I feel healthy. My body feels healthy and my arm feels healthy.”During his start in Houston on Tuesday,  Freeland’s four-seam fastball averaged 86.8 mph and his sinker averaged 86.9, continuing a recent trend of droppin...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:03:27 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — With their star second baseman, Thairo Estrada, out until at least August, middle infield is the spot the Giants are most likely to address via the trade market, president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said Friday, a little over three weeks until the Aug. 1 deadline.“We’ve got to at least evaluate what we have in the middle infield,” Zaidi said, meeting with a scrum of reporters before Friday’s series opener against the Rockies. “Kind of just keep an eye on the market and see if there’s someone that can be impactful there and weigh that against continuing to give opportunities to Casey (Schmitt) and Brett (Wisely).”Estrada’s left hand was fractured by an errant sinker from Adam Ottavino on Sunday, delivering the Giants arguably their biggest blow of the season. He has been their most valuable player this season, with 2.6 Wins Above Replacement, according to FanGraphs, and leads the team with 18 steals. Despite a recent downtu...
