neither Nola hit was really significant in the long run. He is due.

wasnt signifigant? he had the tying RBI Friday and the winning one Saturday coupled with playing near flawless SS. I'm betting you didn't watch the games. and 1937. Really? Please tell me you aren't really that old downing an 18 year old kid.

5 MPH can be pretty signifigant. If it puts the hitter at even one one hundredth of a second of a disadvantage it can be the difference between a double or grounding into a double play.

Someone with a calculator on can you put 5 mph into seconds
Posted on 5/31/09 at 10:55 pm to Babychiva
I don't think it is something that you can't adjust for when you know a fastball is coming from a guys that you know gets it to 100

95 mph is exceptional, not something most people throw.
edit: There are 2 pitchers in MLB who average 95+ per fastball.

to me a great pitcher is not how fast you pitch but what pitches you throw and how you place them
Posted on 5/31/09 at 10:58 pm to Babychiva
well chiva, there are two types of pitchers in baseball in case you just started watching baseball. Some are called "power pitchers" and others are "placement pitchers"
Posted on 5/31/09 at 10:59 pm to Babychiva
And Strasburg is a pitcher who can do both.
edit: Heat, locate it, and a ridiculous set of secondary pitches.

Pitchers like him come along every year.

I guess to me 95 and 100 is fast, depending on who you are facing you adjust to how fast it gets but in the end if you are sitting on a fastball it is still a fastball at the speed you were expecting
Posted on 5/31/09 at 11:01 pm to Elleshoe
Yeah I guess you're right, I'll go with the not quite toolsy college hitter putting up numbers against questionable competition.

A-rod was taken #1 against high school competition

you realize I was being sarcastic about pitchers like him coming along every year right?

That may be true, but you can't sit on a fastball if you don't know its location. You have less amount of time to pick up the direction of the pitch when it is coming at 100mph. Even if you know that it is coming.

I just look at MLB pitchers and there are not too many college studs that pan out... most that do are position players
Posted on 5/31/09 at 11:07 pm to Elleshoe
Yeah, I was too

First convert to feet/sec ( pitch in mph * 5280 / 3600 ):
70 mph is 102.66 feet/sec
75 mph is 109.99 feet/sec
80 mph is 117.33 feet/sec
85 mph is 124.66 feet/sec
90 mph is 132 feet/sec
95 mph is 139.33 feet/sec
100 mph is 146.66 feet/sec
Now divide 60.5 by your feet/sec to get how long it takes the ball to cross the plate:
@70 mph, it takes 0.5893 seconds.
@75 mph, it takes 0.5500 seconds.
@80 mph, it takes 0.5156 seconds.
@85 mph, it takes 0.4853 seconds.
@90 mph, it takes 0.4583 seconds.
@95 mph, it takes 0.4342 seconds.
@100 mph, it takes 0.4125 seconds.
There ya go...
70 mph is 102.66 feet/sec
75 mph is 109.99 feet/sec
80 mph is 117.33 feet/sec
85 mph is 124.66 feet/sec
90 mph is 132 feet/sec
95 mph is 139.33 feet/sec
100 mph is 146.66 feet/sec
Now divide 60.5 by your feet/sec to get how long it takes the ball to cross the plate:
@70 mph, it takes 0.5893 seconds.
@75 mph, it takes 0.5500 seconds.
@80 mph, it takes 0.5156 seconds.
@85 mph, it takes 0.4853 seconds.
@90 mph, it takes 0.4583 seconds.
@95 mph, it takes 0.4342 seconds.
@100 mph, it takes 0.4125 seconds.
There ya go...
