Why has Morris lost so much velocity?

[matt75]

The year he won 22 he was hitting 94-97mph on a regular basis. It seems like now he tops out at around 91. His control wasn't there yesterday and without that extra juice on the heater he couldn't blow one by anyone. This is pretty alarming to me.

How does being a head case make you lose velocity?

Perhaps he's too Metro?

When he's going well, he'll hit 93 consistently, even late. It would never dip under 90. I saw too many 88s and 89s yesterday.
