People can stop worrying about Joba Chamberlain’s velocity. It appears he was saving his best for last:
If anybody is worried about Joba Chamberlain’s velocity, don’t be. He is out after 5 1/3 innings here in Sarasota against the Reds, and he looked terrific. A scout I just talked to said he clocked Chamberlain as high as 96 miles an hour, and in the sixth inning he was throwing 93 to 94 m.p.h. “He was throwing very well,” the scout said.
It’s tough to know what players are working on in spring training. I suspect Joba’s fastball will be there next week when it counts.
