I remember when John Rocker was trying to make a comeback. The velocity on his fastball in miles per hour went from high 90's to low 90's. That was just enough to end his career as a high end major league closer.

And yet there are successful major-league pitchers with similar or lesser velocity. Velocity is overrated.
