a comparison to satchel paige is a loooooong shot BUT if he evades the injury bugs im certain he will either play into his late 40s possibly early 50s pitching low to mid 90s either that or he retires when he is either bored or wants to spend time with his family like some other long time retired pros
@@uhhcoolstory5627 if he stays healthy and is fine with what he's doing for the next 10 years he will def be one of the oldest pitchers to throw an average of 96+ through a full season
@@sun6262- Satchel threw 3 clean frames a week away from 60. We aren't seeing that again. We're far, far more likely to see another Brady survive in the NFL til 45 than a Satchel Paige at 60.
Assuming he stays healthy and doesn't wanna retire, early 40's. Injuries, even minor ones at his age can start piling up hard and not repairing like they used to quickly. The seasons very long. Will he still be throwing 105 at that point? No. If he can come out the pen at still hit high 90's for an inning he'll be able to find work.
I would think being a career-long reliever also helped, though Nolan Ryan was able to hit 100 mph at 40 despite consistently throwing 150 pitches per start.
If he had that high arm slot would he be faster like when he was younger? Or if he flattened out his arm slot when he was younger would he have thrown harder? Or is just lowering strain on the UCL while not increasing force output at all?
It’s likely that if he deviated from his natural arm slot, it would’ve negatively impacted his mechanics and made it more difficult for him to throw as hard as he does
@@Katsos44 I misread your comment. Honestly him raising his arm slot could contribute to him maintaining his velo. We saw that he went from a fascia based pitcher to a more muscle/force driven pitcher in terms of how he generates velocity. That higher arm slot could be a result of him trying to recruit more of the trunk and back to maintain that velo but that’s just speculation.
Yes could easily do this when I was throwing my hardest. Not training for grip I’d say more like 185 but it improves within a few weeks of training crushing strength specifically (heavy grippers).

Thanks for watching! What age do you think Aroldis Chapman will pitch until and how hard do you think he'll throw?

@@russjordan6186 so… he’s hurting his mechanics currently? Or he was hurting his mechanics when he threw 106?

If he gets big strong calves, he might be doing this another 20 years!!
Chapman is on a fantastic voyage to live long enough to live forever!
phenomenal video

@@treadathletics Thats awesome! Love that you continue to train even though your training days are over!
Chapmans baby, Brewsters baby, that's it.
Which birth cert did you find, he way older actually 😂
Helps to be on handfuls of PEDs too … he’s an absolute tank
