MLB Pitchers speed increase

[Judson1]

Do you believe the pitchers nowadays are throwing that much harder? Or is MLB “calibrating” their guns to make it appear that almost everyone throws mid to upper 90’s? I saw 3 guys last night all hit 100 or more. I get guys now are bigger and stronger but it just doesn’t seem realistic.
