Keep an eye on him in his next few starts. One of the major theories of his in effectiveness has been the decline of his knuckleball velocity. Well it seems to be improving.

I like stats but if you are using minutia like that to cap games you are WAY more into it than me. Is that avg velocity or highest velocity for each game?
