Duffy stays grounded during trials of baseball

19.05.12

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The radar gun loves Danny Duffy. It loves him the way the camera loves Kate Upton. He throws a ball that cracks when it hits the catcher's mitt, the sound of leather struck by lightning.

According to FanGraphs.com, among starters who've logged at least 20 innings, the fastball velocity of the Royals left-hander is tops in the American League (95.3 miles per hour, on average), and second in all of baseball to only Stephen Strasburg of the Washington Nationals (95.7).

"I mean, that's cool and all," Duffy says of his radar love. Then he shrugs. "But that doesn't win you ballgames."

Control does. Location does. What good is bringing a howitzer to the party if you can't hit the broad side of a barn?

"(New pitching coach) Dave (Eiland) has done a really good job of just putting it into words that I understand really well," says the California native, who's slated to make his fifth start of the season tonight against the Boston Red Sox
