In the second half of the season, Ferrer has already demonstrated that he is a dominant pitcher. Major League hitters can pick up on this slight disparity, helping them potentially identify which pitches Ferrer is throwing. His average sinker velocity is 97.6 miles per hour. He can maintain success by continuing to utilize the above average pitch he already has. Ferrer is already pitching well this season, but if he can mix in more secondary offerings with his sinker, the Nationals will have an All-Star closer once again.
