McCullers Shows Promise in Spring Debut

February 28, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Lance McCullers Jr. delivered an encouraging Grapefruit League debut, throwing both his sinker and four-seam fastball with improved velocity.

Lance McCullers Jr. made a brief but promising Grapefruit League debut for the Houston Astros, showcasing improved fastball velocity that had been absent last season. The right-hander's four-seam fastball reached 93.2 MPH, a significant improvement from last year when he struggled to break 91 MPH.

Coming off a season where velocity issues limited effectiveness, McCullers' ability to throw his fastball offers hope for his 2026 performance. The Astros and fans alike will be watching closely to see if this improvement continues throughout spring training.
