Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman throws his first bullpen of spring training at George M. Steinbrenner Field on Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2017. (Brendan Kuty | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com)
Nah, he’s throwing maybe 90-92 here. If I had to make a good guess. I’ve played guys throwing near that it looks around 90-95 if I had to make a range lol. Still some gas tho 😂👀.
@@Matty335iI put it into a FPS counter and did the math came up 96 were close although I didn’t do the distance from his stride so may be little slower
@@gra6282 fr lollll especially when you bat against a guy throwing low 90s, you know it’s still fast. Heck honestly I batted against a guy throwing 88, it’s definitely still fast. Not so easy to throw that hard.
Its crazy, the first throw i didnt even see the ball leave his hand and while ot became easier to see the ball as the video went on, the ball was still hard to see
That's a scary view for opposing batters. Chapman, Severino, Sabathia, and Warren. And still people say "No pitching". Like, please. The Yankees have the most underrated pitching staff in baseball. When the season starts, it will be rated one of the best.
I really despise the fact that cameras can never give you an idea of what speed is like. I’ve stood up against guys that through the ball in the low to mid 90s and it’s ridiculous. This guy throws triple digits which is literally like the ball teleporting from his hand to the mitt, but in the video it seems like it’s hittable.
People in the comments like “eh it’s his warmup it’s probably 90-95” maybe 88-90” 😂bro... that’s still gas, ever batted against a guy throwing 88+? It’s fast for sure lol, No doubt.
Forces the pitcher to keep the ball down. Pitcher adjusts to this distance ever so slightly, throwing to the same spot on the catcher's body as they would if they were behind the plate. Then when they move back, the ball comes in lower. At least that is the idea behind the drill.
Nikolai Tarran wrong. More than likely this is early in his warmup. Catchers are taught to always start close early, then the looser the pitcher gets, the more he moves back behind the plate.
Short-armer on the left. Long-armer on the right. Notice who throws harder: go long. Steve Dalkowski's delivery was even longer (even at 5' 10'') as he got lower to the ground on release.
bam bam He also has the most save opportunities, a higher ERA than Aroldis this year (and nearly every year of Aroldis' career), a lower strikeout rate than Aroldis, his mechanics are much worse than Aroldis which potentially puts him at a higher risk for injury, and his fastball makes Edwin look like Jaime Moyer. Edwin is one of the best closers in baseball, but he still can't compare with Chapman.
I hate being salty even though I don’t have to, but he’s so overrated. All the guy does is throw fast and he’s past his prime. He chokes. He isn’t the best reliever
He’s warming up for one and the camera is 5 foot back and offset. So you can’t tell if there’s movement or not. Plus it’s a fastball, there’s barely any movement at all.
