Ted Lilly's Peak Velocity

Ted Lilly lacked velocity in what is likely his last start of 2009. I'm not sure it's cause for concern. Looking at the three fastest four-seamers Ted threw in each start in PITCHf/x (back to 2007), we can see Lilly's done this before.

I have to admit, his peak velocity does look a to be down, or at least erratic, late in 2009.
