Crompton has been recorded in the mid-high 80s in the past but appeared to be having some difficulty with his feel and release on his fastball on Saturday. His fastball often exploded into a big cutter, almost slider type movement, at around 80-82. He topped at 84 on the day. It is easy to see the Velo is still there, as he was throwing his changeup at a consistent 80-81 MPH range, with arm-side run. His slider ranged from 76-78MPH and had good movement. When he irons out his spin and efficiency with his fastball, it should quickly jump back up in velocity.
