Wood's Fastball Reborn

Kerry Wood's fastball is hitting 93-94 miles per hour as he continues his rehap pitching at Class A Peoria.

Wood pitched one inning of relief Thursday, throwing twelve pitches in all. He struck out two, allowed one hit, and threw one wild pitch.

Wood's fastballs did not reach speeds equal to those thrown by the great Bob Feller, but Feller didn't have to recover from an injury.

Wood will pitch again Friday. If he continues to improve, we may see him pitching in relief for the Cubs later this season.
