Randy was throwing over 100 mph and 90's pitchers whether on jugs or speedgun were in the low 90's on average. Its hard to lock an era since quite a few players played from the late 80's and ended in the early to mid 2000's.

@@tankwfw prove it. most humans cant just up and throw harder than 80 without proper arm conditioning, training, etc etc. they didnt have that back then
I didn't know him personally and I wasn't alive during his playing days but I have to think he'd be honored to be used as the face of the decade for pitchers. He seems like he was a good dude off the field, just his competitiveness turned a switch on it.
I enjoy your videos man! No bs. No politics. Just baseball. A dude cussing while having fun! Hey man, those sliders be tearing you up tho! Thanks for the vid!
While Feller pitched in the 50s, his prime was in the 40s, just before and just after his service in WW2 which is probably why they chose to use him for the 40s, not the 50s.
the fact people like paul skeens , chase dollander and noble meyer all sit at ~100 and on top of that they arnt even closer/ relievers is impressive in its own .Just goes to show how much mechanics changed over the years cause in the upcoming years more and more prospects are gonna be throwing gas with some nasty offspeeds
King of JUCO…as much as I love your content, sometimes I wonder what you are looking at? That head pull is no joke my guy! All the love-love your stuff thou, it’s hilarious!!
Video Idea: Eric does World Series Legendary Matchups. Take the best pitching duels in world series history and have Eric bat against each pitcher for 3 AB's and then have him decide what pitching duel was the best. Example: 1991 WS game 7 matchup Jack Morris vs John Smoltz
As a kid we had a Orel Hershiser badeball game on our family computer. I was maybe 5 or 6ish so mid 90s. It was really fun even when u wasnt very good.
You had a bunch of Mustaches in Oakland in the 70s. But nobody had to throw hard. That's why they could go all 9 innings unlike pictures today that top out after the 4th inning.
@@Crunkboy415 Yes, Vida threw hard and it carried him in his early days. But after he left Oakland, his career went down hill. As for Nolan, his legend was for own ability to pitch hard. But he was the exception, not the rule. Most pictures could hit 90 in the 60s & 70s, but nobody wanted to throw their arm out and get dealt away. Those days you had to go longer than 7 Innings to be a world class picture. Thrown hard is only a modern pitching concept that's effecting the longevity of those same players.
The pitch choices are weird to me if you want veriety fine but by the 40s all the main modern breaking pitches were seen. The slider was less effective than the curve ball as you go earlier due to the lower speed of fastballs but it was still a common pitch since the 30s and even the slurve was being used in the 40s by Johnny Sain and a few others. Change-ups also aren't new being from the 1880s but i definitely has evolved overtime with palmballs, forkballs and circle changes being new and popular in different eras.
Walter Johnson was throwing an estimated 102 mph according to frame rate speculation and Nolan Ryan was up there around 106 estimated. Don’t believe the bs that athletes now are so much better than the generations that actually built this country through hard work and God’s will.
Dude putting the heads up of the fastest pitchers of the 40s-70s who threw a full 15-20 mph faster than the machine is set to. Also, he forgot to add Bob’s dust off pitch at the head
It’s the decade average fastball velocity. For example: Bob Gibson probably threw 95, but he was an outlier for his decade while the average pitcher, starter or reliever, more than likely threw in the low 80s
I love baseball channels that do not know anything about baseball. The mound height change was huge, Radar guns today pick up the baseball right out of the pitcher's hand, where as in the 1980s thru 2005 they picked it up halfway to home plate. That is a difference of about 4 to 5 MPH. That makes up for a lot of the difference in MPH. Feller threw mid 90s, as did Koufax and Gibson. These guys are acting as though they threw 75 to 85 MPH,

Wait where’s the screwball and the knuckleball at? 1970s Phil Niekro and Loads of pitchers with the screwball
Can you program a knuckleball in a pitching machine? I really don’t know…I assume you can’t because of the whole lack of spin thing.

Feller, Koufax, Paige, Lemon, Wynn, Robert’s, Spahn, Ford, etc…. Many great 50s pitchers.

It was probably like 93 at best
80’s shoulda added a forkball/splitter because that’s when they were at their peak
Day 1 of asking Eric to try and hit against Mark Eichhorn. He was a submarine pitcher who threw a change up, slider, and a forkball all around 70mph

eric missing the blooper pitch is funny
Cole always looks BAKED out of his mind
King of Flyouts 😂 love you bud, keep hitting nukes

Proceeds to swing out of his shoes*
Eric should do Nolan Ryan vs Randy Johnson vs Roger Clemens vs Pedro Martinez in GOAT starter from the late 90s
Guess u can say bro went on a century long slump
It's not a real king of Juco video if eric doesn't get folded 😂😂😂
Peak content is getting folded in 8 different decades.
87 for the 90’s in absurd
It’s the average
I’ve watched like 10 batting vids and you’ve folded EVERY TIME.
Hit the damn ball! 🤣😂

i remember when this guy was at 100k you deserve all the love not a lot of good sports RUclipsrs who actually do shit and hit balls

Do you have cameras on me or something
Ain’t no damn way u just guessed my last 3 vids
It ken Griffey man. Messed your whole swing up brother.
Bob Gibson was throwing like 101-103, everyone was scared of him lol
I like how Cole does nothing and is saying “YES”when Eric gets out
Greg Maddox lived in the upper 80s in his career and was consistently the best pitcher of that entire generation.
The lapp bros are the best
I love how Eric is the king of karma. Talk smack and you see what happens
Aready knew he got folded😂😂😂
Need a compilation of all the times Eric tried to break a bat over his knee and didn't. I feel like it's happened 5+ times over the years.
That bloop pitch was somehow so slow it transferred Cole's yips to Sim
Would love to see Eric make a JUCO Olympics and try to maintain his King of JUCO title
Finally it’s out

This is hype Eric never fails to entertain us
We love you Cole!!
Imagine if he did 1930's Satchel Paige to start the game - throwing 100+ mph then went to the 40's Bloop pitch, lol
That 38mph bloop pitch is still faster than cole throws.
I finally figured it out. Eric Sim is the Pokemon of Baseball.
When Eric said "I'm fucked" I really felt that
Walter Johnson was throwing an estimated 102 mph according to frame rate speculation and Nolan Ryan was up there around 106 estimated. Don’t believe the bs that athletes now are so much better than the generations that actually built this country through hard work and God’s will.
Going to buy that firewood T for my son, THANKS TREV!!! LOL :)

Maybe you should try bunting.

Absolutely phenomenal vid!
Lets give Eric a chance, next video do pitches from 1870s and 1880s stars like Jim Galvin and Charlie Radbourn!

This wasn’t a chapel hit turned into a will Eric be able to make contact
Happy birthday! 😊
imagine juco and bryce in a nuke off
Lift small, bunt the ball
Maybe next time a warmup off the tee and soft toss would be appropriate
Bob Gibson would’ve thrown at you 2 times in a row and then make you swing at nothing 3 times in a row
Huge missed opportunity to do the dead ball era of pitching lmao. Would’ve been fun to try and hit 65 mph spitballs lmao
6:04 nahh my boy is trippin
I think it's time to face Mason Miller (A's). Dude throws absolute gas.
