Around the 04:00 mark: Because the ligaments of the shoulder and elbow are already under immense strain at 100-105 MPH. Adding any more speed would likely tear ligaments and result in career-threatening injuries. The rest of the video is a bunch of footage of a dude in a lab trying to hit fastballs.

Just think how rare a pitcher like Nolan Ryan was back in those days throwing 100 mph when know one was. Must have been crazy for batters seeing that for the first time. I'm sure studying his mechanics helped others achieve better speed on their fast balls. Nolan is the G.O.A.T.
@caseydrucker Рік тому
Watch the documentary "Fastball". When Ryan was throwing 100, they were measuring pitch speed as it crossed the plate, as opposed to now, where they measure at the point of release. They had a physics professor run the numbers and it's likely he was throwing 110 if you measured at the point of release.

@jimmery2419 3 роки тому
As a baseball pitch and a pretty successful batter i can tell you that a batter being able to hit a ball isn't just about the brain, it involves instinct and muscle memory while your brain makes that last second decision on whether to swing or not. That's why coach's always tell you to think strike then decide later because if you wait for your decision the ball is already past you, it takes years of practice to become really good batter. the key is timing then making that last second adjustment based on the spin of the baseball. (and of course mechanics)

Some of the best handballers in the world (european sport) can shoot a handball up to 140km/h ( 88 mph). Now, the handball is 3 times heavier than baseball, and has about 3-4 times bigger diameter (much greater air resistance).

also, there is a point where you have to use the same amount of energy released in the 100mph throw, to even move it another 1 mph. The real limiting factor becomes the density of the ball and air resitance. try throwing a ping pong ball as far as you can, itll take twice the amount of effort just to get it another 4 feet

Robin Roberts said, "You could go up there with a howitzer, a good fastball hitter is going to hit your fastball." What made Feller, Koufax, etc, so effective was the complemented the fastball with a really good curveball. So if, as a batter, you're "Looking," for one, you'll NEVER hit the other. And you HAVE to be looking for the fastball.

Been listening to "The Sports Gene" on Audible. One of the points he makes is that at this speed, the batter does not have enough time to see the pitch, judge where it's going , and decide whether or not to swing. It's just too fast. So the greatest batters are looking at things like the pitcher's shoulder movement, windup. famously, some top mlb blayers get struck out by girl softball pitchers all the time even though they're throwing 65 mph tops. They can't read the pitcher.

The more they see a pitcher, the more intricate things they pick up. Gwynn was one of the earliest guys who revealed how they studied pitchers back in the 80's, and why he won so many batting titles back then. He used to use VHS tapes of the pitchers to study their motion, their release point, how the balls moved, etc, and it paid off, he won multiple batting titles.

@TheMitmit03 5 років тому
Blanket statements like “pitchers shouldn’t throw as hard” and “pitcher should throw less breaking balls” are bad. Different pitches and pitch speeds are going to be more stressful or less stressful on a given pitcher due to their distinct physiology. And the fastball puts the most stress on the arm compared to breaking balls an offspeed pitched

They measured the ball speed at different places during those different eras. The place they measure it now would not be 110 for any pitcher ever. They are still a couple of the greatest pitchers ever, though.
@pdog44450 6 років тому
The Nolan Ryan 108.1 was originally clocked at like 101, but you are right that they were clocked at different places. The 101 was then converted into how they measure velocity today, and the conversion was equal to a 108mph fastball if measured today.
@smac919 6 років тому
If Nolan truly hit 108mph.. he could probably hit 110mph. Never will really know for sure..but I'd like to think Nolan pitched a 110+ fastball at least once in his career.
@howardbaxter2514 6 років тому
Pretty sure Nolan Ryan is a freak of nature. 27 seasons in the league and he still was able to throw heat up until the end of his career. Plus, he threw a 98 mph pitch with a ligament torn in his pitching arm for his last career pitch.
@SmithCommaBenjamin 4 роки тому
The biggest mistake in this is the batter reaction times. Yes, a batter has great reaction time, but baseball is a game of chess. The batter is trying to figure out what pitch is coming next, where is going to be. He'll begin his swing BEFORE the pitch is thrown, and hope he made the correct decision.

Probably should note that Nolan Ryan pitch would have been 108.5 mph if measured today since now its measured just after release when it used to be right in front of the plate in Ryan's day.
@CapAnson12345 5 років тому
The fastest pitcher of all time was almost certainly Steve Dalkowski, an early 60s minor leaguer who was thought to throw about 110. Nolan Ryan later in his career could touch 100 mph. Early in his career looking at video he was NOTICABLY faster. 105-plus and possibly closer to 110. But it's tough to really know for pitchers pre-1980. Feller, Koufax, Walter Johnson, guys like that probably topped out at 95. But usually lived in the low 90s to save on wear and tear. What made Ryan unique was how long and how many innings he could throw at those speeds.
@Mike-ib9tg Рік тому
They did the math Johnson was said to throw 93-95. Bob was said to throw 105. And Ryan 107. So Steve was said to throw faster them them all. Also good to note johnson was a side arm pitcher, typically side arms throw slower.
@mannynunez9361 Рік тому
Thing about Johnson is he could throw another 5 to 8 mph faster but his fastball would straighten out and he would get rocked so while he could have been a career 100mph pitcher it would have been short and unsuccessful. Now Ryan was rare in that he could throw as fast as he could possibly throw and his fastball still had movement never straightening out like most pitchers
@mannynunez9361 Рік тому
Oh and by the way Sid Finch a short time minor leaguer slash beer distribution salesman according to Sports Illustrated in the 80's was known for throwing 115 mph he just didn't want to i guess look it up.
