Tigers' Jason Foley says downtick in velocity not fatigue related, but he's tweaking delivery

Jason Foley entered a 1-0 game in the bottom of the ninth and punched out Yoan Moncada and Luis Robert, Jr., pumping bowling ball sinkers at 101, 100.7 and 100.2 mph. “I feel OK,” Foley said. At that point in the season, the average velocity on his sinker was over 98 mph. Since then, it's dropped to just over 96 mph. Foley said that while he hasn't experienced any fatigue in his arm, he has hunkered down with pitching coach Robin Lund to review his body and pitching mechanics.
