More importantly...

What was his clocked fastball speed?

It's somewhat important.

He needs to be around 88 as a starter to be effective in the majors, and he was around 84-86 at one point.

AAA

he’ll be much less effective if his velocity is still down.

That doesn't mean it's not important.

Low velocity would be a strong indicator that he’s not fully healthy even if he is killing people.

He's not a fireballer but

He still needs to be around where he was last year.

Does anyone know what two pitches RRS has been using in AAA to get guys out? It seems like he striking guys out a lot more than his usual rate?

I checked the MiLB gameday

and then remembered they don’t have any pfx data in minor league games.

Yea I saw that

But he could have given runs in other ways as well. I just wasn’t sure if those were the only runs given up
