Glad for him! I'm retired from those booths now, last time I tried one, I almost blew up my arm to barely hit 70.
Not trying to need Tommy John surgery in my 40s working my office job.

This got us talking & I know it'll bring honest answers..
If someone, this second, offered you $100k if you are able to predict how hard you can throw within 2-3 mph. No crow hop, no sand bagging, as hard as you can throw. What's your number?

I hit 92 on one last October and there ain't no chance in hell that I can throw that. The fastest I've ever hit in highschool was 84. That was 20 years ago
Radar Guns are not accurate

Watching him try to hurl those is making my shoulder feel awful 
I hit around 88 in hs but velocity wasn’t my game. I don’t think I could or would want to even throw 60 right now. I hurt for days just throwing in the backyard with my gf’s son.

I would throw a 50 mph knuckleball.

I’m pretty sure I could hit 65.

Obviously it’s impressive hitting 96 no matter how you do it

Hit 87 mph back in the day now almost twenty
years if I tried I could probably hit 70 mph and my shoulder and arm would hurt for a week

quote:61 mph, if that radar is correct at the Zephyrs game. Throwing anything overhand these days ends up hurting for a bit. I way overtrained during the 1990s when Muscle and Fitness told me that after 72 hours of inactivity you lost your gainz in a muscle group. So we worked chest and shoulders every other day. bullshite.

It is.
For us regular baws who played ball in highschool, anything over 90 is fast a frick.
We had one pitcher who threw consistently in the mid 90s. I was a catcher, and the movement on his 2 seamer was hard for me to keep up with. Can't tell you how many 3rd strikes I dropped before I finally got used to that kind of speed and adapted my technique.
ETA: dropped a ton of 1st and 2nd strikes too, but obviously those are less important

The Jim Morris route but quite a bit younger. I wonder who plays him in “The Rookie 2”
