My bro in college was throwing 92 or 94 idk what and I didn’t realize it was that impressive I don’t play baseball. I was like cool man I know your shoulder hurt
@@yungpedro17 Our friend in hs threw 95. On a road trip to watch him play his last game we got the minivan to 95mph and tossed the bones of chicken wings out the window. (It was 2009 so the video from our phones was horrible quality 😅) Ryan Bollinger is who I’m referencing. If you google him he’s played some minor league games. Edit: It was like an inside joke of our friend group to say “95” that’s why we threw chicken bones out of a minivan at 95mph. 😂 kinda hard to understand without context. 😅
Sorry for the long story but i gotta tell it. When I was a junior throwing 85-87 mph which i felt so good doing. Then a freshman came in throwing heat like 97-100. Dude was starting in varsity and was going to be the main starter above anyone else. I knew nothing of this kid but when i found out this kid was already getting offers from colleges I was dumbfounded. So i searched for ways to add speed with technique and weight training...which only let me pitch up to 89 tops. I was so jealous but accepted that dude could throw heat better than me. Only to find out that dude had no control and was only focused on throwing fastballs every batter. Dude was not allowed to pitch more than 3 innings because of how young he was and how he showed discomfort throughout the season. In my senior year i stayed around 88 tops but in summer ball the freshman (soon to be sophmore) had regressed with his speed around 93. The coach didnt allow him to pitch at all because again his age and the school didnt want to have their promising baseball athlete tear something. The kid got mad but was a team player and was placed at 1st base. Jump ahead to my final season in high school and the kid got taller and his arm seemed to heal because he was throwing that 99mph fastball. At this time he was popular in town because he had colleges looking at him in his sophmore year. He was allowed to pitch a full game for the first time in high school and shut the team out with 11 strikeouts. Then the kid had his 2nd start of the season.....he threw a 84mph fastball and started clenching his fist stating his arm was fatigued after throwing 5 pitches but he felt like he just needed to throw more to just shake the fatigue out (which made no sense). The coach was well aware this kid had trouble the last year with control because he was so focused on throwing heat not caring about the pain he felt in his arm. Stupidly the coach agreed to keep the kid in because of the previous start and the fact that the kid was having college teams scout him putting our school on the map. By the 4th inning, the kid threw 60 pitches with 3 strikeouts and 7 walks. Coach kept asking the player how he was feeling and the kid kept saying he was good. The crowd was dumbfounded because the towns star athlete looked mediocre. Then, what our team calls baseballs version of the titanic....the kid was frustrated and sucked up the pain and threw hard in the 5th inning... I mean reallllly hard. The catcher said each pitch had so much spin that it was hard to catch. Then he pitched his last batter ever. He threw a 93mph fast ball and fell to the ground holding his arm. All the players and coaches ran out there...kid was screaming bloody murder like he had been shot. Crowd was dead silent, kids parents were slowly walking towards him knowing their kid was done for at least that season (later finding out it would be longer). The kid was escorted off the field and rushed to the emergency room where they confirmed kid needed tommy john surgery, but also needed to repair his torn rotator cuff. Our season was a mess because the parents of the kid made an effort to contact a lawyer but the lawyer told them high school injuries happen and the kid even confirmed multiple times to the doctors he lied to the coaches about not felling pain or being hurt and said the coaches were not at fault. In his senior year he went to tryouts but only stayed for 15 minutes realizing he didnt have it anymore. To this day me and some baseball friends go out and catch up with him and all he kept saying was he blew his chances at going pro all because of ego. He said he would go home and his dad would make him throw 100 more balls per person walked. So if he walked 5 batters he would throw 500 more pitches after the game at home with his dad. His dad was riding the fame high with his son. When college scouts were at the game, they seeked him out to get info on his son. The kid said he never went to the doctors because his dad knew if he went they would tell him he couldn't pitch and then college scouts would retract their scholarships. All the blame is on the dad. Why am i telling this story? Because its more frequent than you think. We see kids now measuring how fast they can throw vs pitching smart. If this kid would have pitched smart and learned better technique he wouldnt have gotten injured in my opinion. His control did get affected by the pain but he said he wasnt focused on placement of the ball as long as he could throw fast. I can bet any baseball player have a story similar to mine because it is so common now a days with social media and the pressures to be top dog all the damn time. Its sad
Love this. Even the best players can learn, thats what makes them the best. Ive been a mostly bench player all my life, senior season i get the go ahead to start, get a 1000 obs through the first game with perfect fielding. Second day we run 60 times, i got a 9.1 and felt bad about it so i ran again, 9.2. I felt i could do better. We go to do the rest of practice, i hit line drives all day to oppo, throw darts across the infield, and feel great. 5 swings until practice is over, im in the last group of players to hit, and i dislocate my knee on a check swing. Miss out on 3 straight weeks of baseball. I spent that entire rime watching film, resting up, and getting hungry to play. I sat out an extra game on my recovery because i wanted to practice more, see how i felt, and play the best way i can while my knee isnt 100% Got back to my first game after the injury, getting off the bus i slice my hand open getting my bag out, a good 2.5 inch cut on my palm, shallow, but long. It heals by the time i get in the game and i keep it a secret from the coaches, hiding it in a glove or holding my palms away from them. I get in the game, steal 2 bases, hit a line drive, and make the game winning play. If i got complacent because i was the starter and never tried to learn, my recovery would have been longer, i wouldnt have been able to run as well, and I definitely wouldnt have been able to hit as good as i do now. (I changed how i swing a little, my knee dislocated because i didnt turn my hips aka forgetting the fundementals) Most of what coaches say is for a reason, other players might be younger than you, but a new pov is all you need sometimes.
yeah if i took baseball more seriously i probably could’ve at least played in college. but after covid i just kinda lost all interest in school. now im a dropout with my ged, and im thinking of working for a year, and trying out as a walk on for a d1 team
Well dang. But hey. Just know I did something similar in soccer (football) But I have made no effort to rejoin as 2 knee surgeries put a damper on your spirits.
@@jigglie8077 I've yet to need surgery. Well I might right now, but I'm playing this season before I get it, I'm not missing my last season due to an injury I can play on
Your body is capable of incredible things when you apply the right amount of focus and effort. You don't need to be the strongest if your skill and form are good.
It’s truth though, they just keep getting faster and faster…, and on the hitting side, big men with trained dad bods thrive. Baseball is a pretty fair game imo.
Yeah i have a similar experience with my brother. My brother, one of our mutual friends, and i were practicing for the upcoming season and we got to batting practice and i realized he wasn't getting pass the infeild, so i try to give him some tips but he just shut me down saying "I know what im doing, ok," so after he finally got done batting, i was up and out of 6 hits, i hit 5 doubles, and 1 single. Now he knows to actually trust me with batting
I play softball and one of our pitchers is a junior and throws around 58 which is about average, but a freshman comes in and throws 63. That's the equivalent of a 90 mph baseball pitch.
@@NoahNick04that’s stright facts tho 😂 why do you think The mlb guys have so much arm injuries? Because they’ve been throwing almost as hard as they can too much since they were 12
Dog at that age almost all of them throw out their shoulder cause it's still developing. Shouldn't throw gas all day saw a lot of teammates lose their ability to play at all.
"You will touch 90 on day" got my dying

🚨PSA to anyone who has not made the MLB: you’re not as good as you think. Be coachable
True but I'll add bad coaching is worse than no coaching.

The benchwarmers is the funnest movie ever Gus bus
fr why is nobody talking about that
YESSS
I luv bench warmers
That freshman’s elbow is gonna be dust by the time he’s 22
Just like every pitcher nowadays
I mean doing anything repeatedly passing your body's limit will do that, just like gamers with carpal tunnel
funny they throw less then ever now too, pitchers dont even get off 100 pitches a game anymore its not fun to watch baseball
Baseball is just one of those sports tbh@@mattdattyy
That’s why I love pitching the mind
When the freshman is pitching, you can hear the ball getting spiked on the ground immediately after he pitches it
Are you sure that’s the ball getting spiked or the ball hitting the catchers mitt?
It's the ball hitting the catchers mitt

When he joined the baseball team freshman year in hs he was starter pitcher
And then he threw his elbow out on that “one more”
Dbacks a da best
Bruh the freshmen on my team ended up getting drafted out of hs to the Braves lol
poor catcher dawg
There is a junior in high school that can throw 95 MPH
He’s gotta keep throwing because he’s embarrassed

Never tell your catcher to do that again because he doesn’t have to listen to you

you don't need to throw hard if you throw a knuckler
baseball players kinda caked tho
Most of the guys that brag about gas, can’t hit the strike zone like the kid on one of my teams.
Then that one more turned into an all out pitch, still didnt hit 90 and tore his ucl
freshman now are on steroids compared to when i played back then in 2016🤣what are they putting in their food?
Doesn’t some mlb guy throw 40 mph? I might be the next him
All I can notice is how ugly that field looks.
