During the Yankees Game 1 win over the Astros, the Bombers slugged seven balls with an exit velocity of over 102-mph. Astros starter Zack Greinke surrendered three runs, including two homers before turning the ball over to the bullpen.
Greinke threw his four-seam fastball 47 percent of the time at an average speed of 97.5-mph.
Naturally, when a pitch is thrown with that much frequency, smart hitters are sitting dead-red. And while it remains to be seen if Greinke alters his gameplan, the Yanks will be without one of the men that hit a homer in Game 1, Giancarlo Stanton.
