quote:which would put it near the top 1% of ceremonial first pitch speeds of all time...perhaps I could have thrown it harder but this was going against me:
Video exists. 54 mph
1. I could not pitch from the rubber and get the push off and extra downward momentum from the top of the mound...I had to pitch from the grass in front of the mound.
2. The grass was wet from the recent rains and I wasn't wearing cleats.
3. I did not want to risk getting hurt. Throwing my hardest could have resulted in an elbow injury. As an endurance athlete, it was a risk I wasn't willing to take.
