When Justin Verlander threw his first major-league pitch on July 4, 2005, he was just beginning his long career in baseball, which now faces uncertainty.
Despite being a veteran MVP and Cy Young winner, Verlander's recent performance shows struggles, with a poor ERA and diminishing fastball speed—a worrying trend.
Verlander's four-seam fastball, once elite, became a liability last season, facing a .299 batting average against it and making it one of baseball's worst pitches.
As Verlander transitions to his new team and role at age 42, his ability to deliver quality innings is questioned due to recent injuries and performance.
