what's worse is that he was offered that coming out of high school, and in this video he's either in his senior year of college or was a rookie that year. Wait no, that's not worse because he's not going to be able to naturally throw a perfect 80-90 mph pitch down the middle after not doing that in 4-5 years...
Would be incredibly interesting tp see how different athletes perform in different sports like when MJ played baseball or even when Bo jackson played baseball
Throwing a perfectly round, palm sized ball shouldn’t be as difficult as grown men make it look. I’ll never understand how inaccurate celebrity pitches are
Matthew Stafford threw a perfect fist pitch on a Detroit tigers final game of the season in 2012. Side note is Stafford was Kershaw's catcher in High School
Also MLB fans: watches 2 hours of people striking out and every once in a while scoring a run and just maybe they'll see a home run, has the lowest pre-covid attendance of all sports (NHL, NFL, NBA, whatever the big soccer league is called (no offense soccer fans there's just too many leagues for me to know)) on average per team. The only thing fun about baseball is playing it. I've watched clips where people in the front row of one of the biggest baseball games that year are just sitting on their phones because of how boring it is
Alex Smith on the last pitch throwing to the dirt brings back memories of his incomplete passes as a 49ers. I'm sure he is much better at KC and WASH. Hope the Nationals invite this coming season. His accuracy is much improved!
@@FarnzworthIII yet, his qbr is lower than Kap's at that season. Yds per completion is much lower too. It seems like Kap is willing to go down field while Alex Smith is willing to throw shorter and safer passes for that completion, but can't hit the long passes.
@@FarnzworthIII I guess you are reading his stats correctly. How was 70% completion rate completed? Is he throwing short easy passes? Indeed he was, when advanced stats are showing his easy short screen passes garnered little yards, where the receivers garnered more yards for him after the catch. The QB ratings placed him much lower with his lack of bigger plays and other attributes. If you don't see it and only concentrate on the 70%, then you don't realized he doesn't even qualified for the season leader in completion percentage because he didn't throw enough to qualify.
It’s crazy how much your skill wears off after several years of not playing baseball. I mean look at Wilson and mahomes. And I’m pretty sure Wilson could quit football right now and the MLB would take him in a heartbeat, probably mahomes too.
Wilson literally quit baseball and went back to football because baseball wasn't working out for him in the minor leagues. If an MLB team were to pick him up it would be a PR stunt. Just look at his minor league stats in the lowest levels of minor league baseball.
I quit playing baseball around 16 years old. I played a bunch of softball as a young adult well into my late 30s. A couple weeks after I retired at 56, some of my colleagues and I, a drunk guy and a little kid threw out the first pitch at the local minor league game. I was the only one to throw a strike.
What I hate is that when everyone else was out on the mound they were the only one. But when Tom Brady was out there like 4 other people were out there one with a super bowl 🏆
Everyone, please heed this suggestion. Before you throw the opening pitch, take a teammate of yours outback somewhere and play catch for a few minutes. That's it. Either do that, or look like Patrick Mahomes on his opening pitch... and throwing is NOT foreign to him. You're welcome.
@@tobyvigneau9629 Yea I thought so I didnt know for sure but I thought so! LOL! Its okay though its just hip to hate on Mahomes right now it will pass! Always does! Brady went through the same thing when he lost his superbowls to Eli... So Stupid
Threw out first pitch at a local minor league game. Nervous as hell. I played baseball through college, nothing crazy, d3, but it had been a while. I just tried to remember all I’d been taught, and it went straight to the catcher. Smiled, waved....and got the hell out!
1. Lamar Jackson - Baltimore Ravens 2. Russell Wilson - Seattle Seahawks 3. Patrick Mahomes - Kansas City Chiefs 4. Aaron Rogers - Green Bay Packers 5. Colin Kapernick - San Francisco 49er's 6. Eli Manning - New York Giants 7. Tom Brady - New England Patriots ( Now with The Super Bowl Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers) 8. Tony Romo - Dallas Cowboys 9. Matt Ryan - Atlanta Falcons 10. ?
That Brady-Ortiz hug really puts the size of players in NFL vs MLB into perspective. Average-sized NFL qb made "Big Papi" look like "kinda-chubby papi."
@@johnruss2475 what? I mean *obviously* an NFL lineman would be even bigger... The whole damn point was that "smaller" NFL players are bigger than "big" MLB players. But sure, I'm the boob.
Wilson and kapaernick (however u spell his name) had zing and obviously played bball at a high level. If they had about 20 throws before they would ve clockd over 85 ea.
