Why It’s Almost Impossible to Throw a 110 MPH Fastball | WIRED
My tip for new pitchers: Hot ice. You heat up the ice cubes. It’s the best of both worlds!
I don't know….we are 104-105 with a few guys today. That wasn't around ten years ago, or it was maybe one guy did it for a few pitches. Now Ben Joyce, Chapman, and Johan Duran sit 103-104 on a good day.
Who's to day that 108-110 isn't possible in ten years?
You throw like a girl

Ben Joyce: "Hold my beer."
You can take out the "almost."
If it were possible to throw 110, we'd have seen it by now.
Include a speed gun for the umpire. Any pitch 100+ is a ball.
I once played that pitching game at the fair. I walked up to the line, full of confidence that I was about to throw at least a 60mph Effus. Wind, throw, pull muscle in arm, clock reads: 36mph. lol

Its wired, Let's make a video to get views. Dude can't even swing a bat correctly and pitcher can barley throw a ball properly.

crazy how in 2023 it just barely at 106mph. so maybe its true but as all thing time and evolution in sport science and physiotherapy maybe one day we may see the 110mph.

Knuckleballers: hold my beer
Nolan Ryan would disagree
This guys form is absolutely disgusting
He blew a few by me more like all
Excuse me. Mets phenom Sid Finch threw somewhere around 168mph. Kids these days…

Technically a pitcher can throw at unimaginable speeds. Adrenaline or fight or flight can enable humans to move, react, and push at almost 70% more efficiency.

With the current Tommy John epidemic, this video becomes more relevant.
