Jack Flaherty's recent drop in fastball velocity during Game 5 raised concerns, though pitching coach Mark Prior stated it stemmed from a timing issue, not injury.
Prior expressed moderate concern over Flaherty's fastball speed, noting the importance of velocity in pitching but emphasized confidence in Flaherty's execution and recovery.
Flaherty's average fastball velocity decreased to 91.4 mph in Game 5, significantly below his season average of 93.3 mph, as mechanics affect his delivery.
After pitching strongly in Game 1 but struggling in Game 5, Flaherty must refine his mechanics and intent to restore his fastball effectiveness.
