Seriously didn't know. I always hear scouts and so called experts saying more speed comes with increased size. I know mechanics are the majority of pitching but you're telling me with just mechanics it doesn't matter what size you are you can pitch that fast ?

Size matters but not in the way you think. Its more length than bulk. Long arms and long legs are key.

Thats why Tim Lincecum was a freak. He could throw 100+ at 5'10. Most people have to be at least 6'3-6'4.

Think of all the flame throwers you know. All long bodied generally
