Hello, my name is Ron, better known by my Twitter handle @FIPmyWHIP. I am 22 and have lived in Michigan my entire life. Every since childhood I have been a huge fan of the Detroit Tigers. My favorite aspect of baseball is following the pitchers. I love tracking their stats and am obsessed with high velocities. Justin Verlander was one of the reasons I love pitching so much today. Seeing him light up the radar gun is something truly special that I will never forget.
