Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsThere was some pretty strong indication that Gerrit Cole was feeling physically fine on Tuesday night at Citi Field when his fastball touched 99 mph in the first inning.
The crux of his problem is what he described as finding “a blend of intensity and command.” An inability to find the strike zone led to three walks and a 28-pitch first inning in which he managed to escape allowing just one run. Upon his return to the hill, though, his velocity dipped and the Mets proceeded to tee off.
The 33-year-old right-hander has never been one to max out on his fastball every time he throws it. Normally, it lives around 94-95 mph but when necessary, he can rear back and bring something extra on it.the rest of the night. It was especially concerning in the second inning when he gave up two home runs in the span of three batters.
