I can throw low 80's. So basically I should be an MLB closer...

Think how much he'd dominate at dodgeball. People would be getting the frick out of the way.

Anything over 100 is just retarded.

While I don't believe 106, I certainly believe he topped 100. Stadium guns lie, but that don't lie by 10 MPH.

Well, he's definitely thrown consistently above 100 MPH, but I doubt he hit 106.

Low 80s fastball isn't super human.

Some random guy at game 2 of the LSU@UGA game threw 72 with one pitch.

I was joking....obviously. Most of the pitchers on my highschool's team can hit low 80's.
