Sheehan Velocity Dip Raises Red Flags vs Red Sox
Dodgers starter Emmet Sheehan is sitting below his season-average fastball velocity, allowing multiple home runs in the process.
Emmet Sheehan is sitting at 93.5 mph in his current outing against Boston, down from his season-average velocity. He allowed a home run on a 92 mph fastball, and has given up back-to-back home runs to Cedanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu. The velocity decline was flagged in-game by Dodgers beat reporter Fabian Ardaya. Whether the dip reflects fatigue, mechanical issues, or a physical concern is not yet confirmed.
