The Radar Report: April 18, 2012

"The Radar Report" is a new feature I have been talking about for some time, which is a report that will list fastball velocities for several pitchers in the Indians' system which I have recorded during my visits to see the teams/players.

I had wanted to post this piece several days ago, but due to travel and other committments I was not ready to post it yet. So, today is a catchup piece with readings I obtained from my visit in March at spring training. This piece will begin to post on a weekly basis every Sunday and include anywhere from a half dozen to a dozen radar readings for pitchers I saw from the previous week. It will also include some notes on the pitches and maybe some velocities on their secondary offerings.

Note: The information obtained in this report is from myself and has not been provided by the Indians or anyone affiliated with them or from another team. The readings are recorded through the use of my own radar gun, a Jugs R0250 which is the newest model...
