Quintana works in the 94-95 range, he's not just a soft tossing lefty who depends on deception.

The people that think Quintana is a soft tosser aren't watching the games. There's no other explanation. If anything, he's a power pitcher.

The only way you could think he's a fire-baller is if you watched one or two pitches a game, at most. There's no other explanation. |

The trends say he will maintain his velocity for a while. He's actually gained velocity every month he's been in the major leagues. |

I've certainly seen him dial it up to 94 to put away a hitter on a well placed fastball. He usually sits 91-93.

91-93 from a lefty is a lot different than 91-93 for a righty.
As meaningless of a stat as it is, I think people would be buying into this kid a lot more if he had won 16 games, like he should have. It may be completely psychological, but I think it has merit. |

Actually, I'm going to put an end to this right now. Quintana, averaging 91.2 MPH, tied for the 10th hardest fastball among all lefty starters in Major League Baseball last year. He ain't a soft tosser.

Sorry Randy Johnson, Aroldis Chapman, and, well, anyone who's ever thrown consistently between 95-100. Make way for all 91 miles per hour of Jose Quintana. Simply because there's not more of you. |

When a LH can hit 95, yeah, he throws hard. |

I know enough to know that when a guy consistently hits 91, guys at the plate don't consider him either of those things. He's not throwing hard, and his fastball's not fast enough to throw for 90% of his pitches. So yeah, neither.

And he keeps attacking hitters with that fastball and getting guys out. 336 innings of 3.6 era and 7.4 k/9 with average secondary pitches. He has the entire AL fooled I guess. Thank god Munch is on the case.
