Slowed by neck and shoulder stiffness this spring, he struggled to hit 80 mph with his fastball, which had dropped from an average velocity of 86.3 mph in 2014 to 83.3 mph in 2015, according to Fangraphs.
Weaver seemed far more in-control than angry on the mound on Sunday, but he did gain some velocity on his fastball, which sat in the 82-mph range and hit 84 mph four times during his 84-pitch outing.

. I'm not a fan of public stats. Spot I am playing is the same when Tom Koehler and the Marlins won at +280 this year. Spot hits 58.3% of the time, as it may lose tonight...I must take it at the price. I shouldn't have listed Weaver as a reason of my play. I don't cap around the pitcher and never have.
