I remember at a young age, maybe 15, I was able to throw 70 mph. But somehow that was my peak and I was never able to throw any faster as I got older.

That bird got fucking rekt. Jesus. And that's just a crazy coincidence that the thing wanted to fly right there at that point in time. Literally a quarter of a second before or after and it wouldn't have been hit (by the pitch, at least).

It's actually sorta funny, MLB batters are so used to the cadence of swinging at 85-100mph pitches that when you mix in a 60 mph looper they have no idea how to hit it.

At 16 I was clocked at 87mph throwing windmill. I could hit around 70mph overhand but I threw it much, much harder underhand. I had more junk pitches I could throw as well (favourite being a rise curveball which is nearly impossible to throw overhand).

There are 12 year olds that throw harder than that.

My dad pitched in college and still can throw a knuckle ball. Even when you manage to hit it it just dies off the bat.

they're all easy to understand. the only confusing part is the difference between plate appearances and at-bat's and that's a quick explanation

What's crazy is how common guys with that kind of arm strength is nowadays. Take just about any long reliever from any team and he would be an all-star in the 70s and 80s.

This! Out of curiosity, I looked up how fast they would have to react and found this quote: "...from release of the pitch until it gets to the plate, a 95-mile-an-hour fastball is around 425-450 milliseconds."

I can see how randomly throwing in a slow pitch can mess people up if they're used to reacting that fast.

A woman struck out Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, probably because they weren't used to pitches that were that slow.

Then act confused when the batter rushes the mound after they get hit.

if so, I hope that they're not pitching at 100mph
