Kuhl pitched a scoreless inning Thursday but saw a drop in his fastball velocity, DK Pittsburgh Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuhl, who averaged 96.3 mph with his fastball in 2018 (prior to Tommy John surgery), was sitting in the 92-93 mph range. It's possible he could simply be shaking off the rust in spring training, but since his best pitch is his fastball, the decrease in velocity is worth tracking.
