So on Wednesday night, Masterson was hitting 99 on the stadium gun. This seems kind of preposterous, so I wanted to ask you all a few questions. First of all, have you ever seen him hit anything remotely close to that high before. I think before, I had seen him top out around 95. Interestingly enough, Pitch fx was calling the very fast fastballs four seamers instead of sinkers. Had Masterson just not been throwing four seamers? Was the gun just juiced?
Also, does anyone know who runs the pitch fx gun? Is it a member of the Red Sox organization, or someone from Sportsvision?

don't think I've seen him hit close to that high before, maybe tops out at 95 as I recall. The difference between radar guns across the league is pretty annoying I think.
The difference in radar guns, if true, really kills the usefulness of pitchfx. I hope that this isn't the case, but I'm starting to think it is.
I'm not sure that the park radar gun is used for pitch fx. Looking at a pitchers home/away velocities might give you an idea if there were gun differences.
