Mookie Betts has resumed swinging as part of his recovery from a right oblique strain, marking a significant step towards returning to play.
Wright explained his plan to the clinic staff, and after some discussion, they agreed to help him carry it out during her appointment.
"I feel like 100 is the new 95," said Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Will Klein, who first hit 100 in a summer ball all-star game in 2020 and expects to again this season, having topped out thus far at 98.8 mph. "It used to be, 'You throw 95, that's gas.' Now, it's 100. And now you see starters out there sitting 100."
