Looks sharp in simulated outing Berrios threw around 45 pitches over three simulated innings Friday and reached 95-96 mph with his fastball in the first inning, MLB.com reports. Impact Berrios spent the pandemic shutdown throwing a bullpen session every Tuesday and faced hitters Fridays, the report adds. It sounds like Berrios is in top shape and should be ready for the start of the season. A short season could benefit Berrios, as he's made two consecutive All-Star teams, but he faded in the second half the past two years. Berrios had a 3.00 ERA before last year's All-Star break, and 4.64 ERA in the second half.
