velocity

"The rocks come from thousands of meters above, so they have so much velocity," Kirsty said.

Starting pitcher Blake Snell gave up three runs in 5⅓ innings and battled through a stark drop in fastball velocity.

The Dodgers were getting good pitching, with Glasnow striking out four of his first five batters while pumping increased fastball velocity and generating foolish swings with his slider.

As he has aged, and his velocity has dipped, Kershaw has become more of a crafty left-hander.

“And people have observed that when the fault is very smooth, the rupture ... tends to propagate at a velocity” so fast that it results in an “extremely elongated rupture,” Avouac said.
