   25. Jan, 2011 at 3:00 pm # Of the Top 40 starting pitchers in the Majors last year (by Fangraphs WAR), just 4 averaged less than 90 MPH on their fastballs:

   9. Jered Weaver (89.9)
   30. Brett Myers (89.3)
   33. Mark Buehrle (86.0)
   40. Wandy Rodriguez (89.6)

   Here are the average WAR for pitchers with at least 100 IP in 2010 by FB velocity threshold, as well as the number of pitchers who qualified:

   85 MPH — 2.52 WAR — 143 players
   86 MPH — 2.52 WAR — 142 players
   87 MPH — 2.55 WAR — 135 players
   88 MPH — 2.63 WAR — 128 players
   89 MPH — 2.80 WAR — 114 players
   90 MPH — 2.85 WAR — 97 players
   91 MPH — 3.23 WAR — 70 players
   92 MPH — 3.43 WAR — 43 players
   93 MPH — 3.76 WAR — 23 players
   94 MPH — 4.64 WAR — 8 players
   95 MPH — 6.30 WAR — 2 players

   Check out that jump at 91 MPH. Pretty cool.
