"In his first start of the season last night, he averaged 94 MPH on his fastball, down 0.1 MPH from his Spring Training average. That's down from the 95.6 MPH he averaged last season in the majors."
"Sheehan had Tommy John surgery on May 15, 2024. He missed 13 months before returning in June of last year. When he returned, the velo returned as well."
"In 2025, he threw six pitches all season under 94 MPH (and zero below 93). Tonight, Sheehan has thrown eight pitches under 94 MPH (and two of them below 93)."
"A clear decline in velocity, even with the outlier 91 MPH pitch on the left side. Something's up. Let's hope it's mechanical and not health-related."
Emmet Sheehan's fastball velocity has noticeably decreased, averaging 94 MPH in his first start of the season, down from 95.6 MPH last year. This decline follows Tommy John surgery and raises concerns, especially since he threw only six pitches under 94 MPH in 2025. Mechanical issues have been suggested as a cause, but the drop in velocity is alarming. Sheehan's performance will be closely monitored to determine if the issue is mechanical or health-related.
