September 30, 201511 yr No. The data was from 2008 through this season. My gosh, I can't imagine how many pitches that entailed. Would a guess of 250 to 300 per game between the two teams be in the ballpark?

Jose Quintana. Two players struck out 10 times this year against a single pitcher. Eric Hosmer vs Jose Quintana Nelson Cruz vs Scott Kazmir Weird. Interesting to note that Perez, Cain & Hosmer all play for the Royals. Quintana is 1-6 in his career against KC with a 4.38 ERA in 17 starts. This year, he's 1-0 in 5 starts with a 4.35 ERA. He's pitched 31 innings, given up 41 hits, 15 runs (all earned) and struck out 22.

September 30, 201511 yr In 2008 there were 14,974 pitches at 96+ MPH. In 2015 there have been 33,496. I believe it. 10-15 years ago if you had one or two guys throwing mid-90s out of the bullpen you were in good shape. Now it seems like every team has 3-4 guys throwing mid-upper 90s.

October 1, 201511 yr Of the pitchers who met the 150 PA criteria the pitcher who gave up the single hardest hit ball this season was Jerome Williams at 120 MPH. Not sure who hit it. Josh Donaldson crushed one this year, not sure if it was off of Williams though. Don't think so.
