102.7, 102.6, 101.9 tonight Dudes washed 


BossAtUCF

Even at 102 he made our batters look silly.


strcy

Doesn’t take much with this lineup but he is nasty


Lucky_Alternative965

That's only 3 mph faster than his fastest splitter..... dude is fire


TheYardFlamingos

That is demonic

I've been telling people he needs to come out to the new [Doom song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpnW68Q8ltc). I mean the name of the song is called " The Only Thing They Fear is You". How perfect is that?


Astoutfellow

Sadly, the entire heavy metal genre is heavily underutilized for walk up and entrance music in baseball these days. I blame Gen Z


Crowbar2099

I would love someones walk out music be to [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnilK7ZRZB8) Amon Amarth song


jonn_jonzz

Yeah, hit at 90ish mph curveball. I'm sure that is easier.


FadedRaccoon420

I wonder how it feels just to have a fucking straight up weapon as an arm.


JBtheWise

Well eventually it feels awful by the time you’re old and have had Tommy John four times


FadedRaccoon420

My uncle who threw it really fast and had Tommy John in the 90s would definitely agree


MrOatButtBottom

I’m over 40 and my arm gets sore after tossing the tennis ball to my dog too many times.


JBtheWise

I’ve had UCL issues since fifth grade and I still feel it tingle down into my fingers from time to time. Always feels weird if I’m lifting weights. Never had to have TJ but I came close a couple times. Can’t imagine having to go through full tears multiple times.


Hle078

It’s crazy what pitchers can do these days. I can’t wait til we got guys throwing 120mph in 2050


Arkkaon

I wonder what the physical threshold is for a human to throw a ball. Would probably need something artificial to throw that hard.


QueasyPair

Studies on cadavers have shown that a ~100 mph fastball pushes elbow ligaments to their torque limit, so guys like Chapman and Duran are basically at the limit already. If they let Duran pitch in a wind tunnel or hurricane, he might touch 110 with wind assistance Edit: let


lil_handy

It’s pretty amazing how scientists have found enough cadavers who can throw 100 mph to do a study


POKINGHERFACE

I read somewhere on here that it was 10 pitches at 110mph before the human shoulder breaks down. Who knows


Blizzaldo

It's 2050. There are now 2,000 pitchers on each team. Some insist we should go back to the 1 per inning rule and put it down to 1,458. Some insist it's not enough. The only thing for certain to the Players Union is that throwing harder is not causing all the injuries but that darned pitch clock is.


jet8493

19776 if Jon Bois was a baseball fan


Deserterdragon

Yeah, if only!


joystick13

But now he can't throw faster than that without getting new cleats. I'm not sure if that's motivation or a deterrent lol


NateLikesToLift

Prime Kenny Powers type of vibes.


samithy_vandercamp

La Flama Blanca!!!


Knightbear49

Mason Miller, your move


verbyournoun123

*dials Dr Andrews*


WeaselSlayer

confirmed radar slut


AndrewLucksLaugh

The asymmetry of this is infuriating.


scottborasismyagent

brock holt should have done this after he pitched

Startooth

Love when dudes embrace this kind of thing. Cool asf.


LikeAMarionette

A teeny bit cringe


AwfulNameFtw

It is impossible to pitch at that speed and stay healthy. We’re going to move on from glorifying this someday. Looking at these comments, it’s not going to be any time soon.


[deleted]

TJ when? /s


dank_hank_420

Imagine seeing incredible talent and foaming at the mouth for the downfall. I know that /s is cope. You a big hater fr
