NEW YORK -- Having mastered the mechanics he introduced during the spring, lefty Kevin Siegrist has now slowly been rediscovering some of the velocity those alterations briefly cost him.
Forced to change his delivery to cut down on his time to the plate, Siegrist found himself with a little less zip early. However, he's been reintroducing his leg kick, which, he explained, allows him to get through his delivery with more momentum. The result has been more mph, too.
During Monday's relief appearance, Siegrist averaged 96 mph on his fastball for the first time this season.
