well didn't Rivera used to throw it at 95/96.97 mph..I believe now & even last year it was around 92/93/94 mph. But he's always seemed to have had some kindof hiccup in the start of the season lately...so it may just be the norm...plus he's hasn't thrown much so far so maybe thats why his velocity is down so much.
