Fastball speeds at the ASG: average of 96mph!

By Tangotiger

Whoah:

Of the 272 pitches thrown, 190, or 70 percent, were fastballs. The average fastball speed in the game was 96 mph. Wow.
...
The average fastball speed boost relative to the regular season was 1.5 mph for starters and 0.4 mph for relievers.
