@Corey pretty good prediction given that Astros will dominate the league next 5-7 years minimum

I’ve made this argument a million times with old heads who go on about how players these days don’t compare to players in there days. Yeah Larry, Mickey Mantle is great…nobody is arguing that. However, Mantle didn’t face 100+ MPH pitch velocities every single game and he surely didn’t see 90+ MPH Curveballs and Sliders. He barely saw fastballs over 95. Athletes are bigger, faster, stronger, and smarter than they ever have been due to Sports Science. That’s just how it is. Sports have been analyzed and broken down into every metric and it’s being used to essentially be bred into children. One day I’ll be watching pitchers throw 120 on the TV and telling my grandson that we rarely saw over 105 in my day.

It’s because of modern day supplements like Creatine. Anabolic steroids became illegal because they gave the players an upper hand vs the previous generations… so why would we not do the same for Creatine??

@@johnkelley502 I don’t see why PED’s are illegal for a non contact sport like Baseball ⚾️. It’s the dumbest rule ever

@@johnkelley502 Perhaps some of it, but that argument is still invalid due to the fact that you see the same advancement in Youth Sports as well. Kids are throwing harder, hitting further, and just overall better than when I was in Little League just 20 years ago. Sports Science combined with modern technology has broken down every aspect of every sport and given us data and real good insight on how it all works. We know what athletes should be eating, when they should be eating, when they should work out, how they should workout, how they sleep, everything. On top of that, we have pitching & swinging mechanics all figured it out. We have whole private facilities and special equipment dedicated to a specific sport for Youth/Professional players for development. They just didn’t have that back then. Back then it was just “throw the ball at the batter as hard as you can”.

​@jordantyler8490 How about guys like Nolan Ryan in the 60s/70s? Although they didn't record pitch speeds often, and when they did, they measured the speed of the pitch 10 feet from home plate instead of straight out of the pitcher's hand... Nolan was recorded late in his career at 98 mph, and that specific pitch was thrown when he had a partially torn UCL 😅😂

twins fan L ratio

the 90 mph curveball💀

@@qtspartan4759 lol. Don't need to be a fan of a specific team to appreciate good pitching. He's the first person in MLB history to throw an offspeed pitch OVER 💯. 😳

@@mackersun not even possible i wouldn’t consider a cutter a off speed it’s a type of fastball

@@qtspartan4759...he threw a "splinker". A sinker/splitter. Thats offspeed. 100.8.mph. Aug 30, against Alex Verdugo.

Me and a few bruh

when you train hard the game becomes what it is a game. Go for it !!

Good luck, you got this!

@@Sicko_Sports ?

@@justanaveragehaunter1210 thanks

Good luck

yeah they missed a bunch of things

guessing this are only strikeout pitches

Literally just last year lmao

These pitchers can actually get strikeouts. Chapman can't even find his way to practice, let alone the strike zone. Also age, but I'm choosing to look at the fact that he's a bum who walked out on his team.

He threw 101 quite a few times this year which is still impressive for someone at his age

Definitely saw Helsley hit 104 a couple times at least.

@Corey I hope so. The Orioles are my home team and I hope for the best for my Os

threw.

@lost1nmym1nd43 Could have

For some reason, playoffs stuff is in its own little world and "doesn't count" for season stat purposes, even singleton events like pitches and home runs. You could hit a ball a literal mile and it wouldn't be considered a season record because it happened in the playoffs.

@@katherineberger6329 that’s honestly BS-

@@firestar8004 Probably is, but unfortunately it's how every sports league in North America does things. Postseason and season records are separate and ne'er the twain shall meet.

Or it used to be 12 and it’s 49

IKR MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHT HE THREW 103 CONSISTENTLY

I would know because Im an O’s fan

HAHA!! 😹

they didnt say fastest pitches ever

@Corey Maybe, if Means can make a comeback. A team can't win without good pitching and the Orioles are desperate for a good starting pitcher
