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 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 😅😂
Jhoan Duran's BREAKING STUFF tops a hundred. When you're throwing off-speed 10 mph faster than your teammate's gas (Joe Ryan, 92mph fastball), you're just playing in a whole different, incredibly unfair plane.
@@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 💯. 😳
Jordan hicks 104 to stone garret at chase field, Jordan hicks 104 fould ball to marcell ozuna at truist park, camilo doval 104 at chase field to mccarthy, johan duran 104 at the twins park, ryan helsley 104 to rowdy tellez twice in one at bat at american family fiel. You guys missed alot
I know some pitches were clocked higher than these pitches. I 100% saw a couple 104 pitches from both Helsley and Hicks alone because that’s who I watch.

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.
Baseball is not popular in my country, i know nobody in person here which know at least the basic rules of this sport. Once i watched a few matches and movies about, i started to like the game, when i was younger i thought the hitter was the most valuable position, but once i learned about these fastball specials lol, i began to like more and more the pitcher position. Its fun and hard to throw things where you want, at high speeds is even harder to be precise.
I hope Helsley can be as dominant in 2023 as he was last year... Guy was an absolute nightmare. Minus that last inning in the WC series when he was hurt.
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.
@@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.
there are more hard throwers in the game today than ever before. Heck, today many starting pitchers are throwing 95 plus! There is nothing the batters can do that will give them more time to react. we are or have reached the limit of the brains ability to perceive and react to balls being pitched.
The reason you’re seeing a different in speed from what the on screen radar and STATCAST is saying is because they’re not measuring the same thing. The radar is measuring the speed of the ball directly out of the pitchers hand. STATCAST however, uses computers to digitally measure the complete delivery. Essentially it’s timing the ball and doing math. What you get is a way more accurate reading, because that is the average speed of the ball and pretty much exactly what you would see over the plate. Now, is .4 MPH going to make a difference in you being able to see the ball as a batter? Nope. Not at all. That jawn coming in HOT.
Let me save you guys some time. They all throw 103mph. The video never shows a slowest to fastest pitch order. It’s just 103mph for the whole video so not worth wasting your time on the video.
What's going on with Jasson Dominguez? Is "The Martian" going to play next year, or is he in outer space? 😂 It might take a Martian to hit against pitching like this! 😨
Man, throwing high 90s was crazy in the late 90s and early 2000s when I started to watch baseball. They were like a handful of people who touched 100

Helsley, Duran and Doval all threw at least one 104 mph fb this year.

@Corey pretty good prediction given that Astros will dominate the league next 5-7 years minimum
Camilo Doval is really a NIGHTMARE

the 90 mph curveball💀

@@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.
There are a lot of things to love in the great game of baseball, but to me nothing compares to blowing away a hitter with a true high heater!
Camilo Doval throwing a 104 MPH Cutter Is Insane.

I’m gonna make the mlb one day! Watch out. If you have tips for hitting Let me know
when you train hard the game becomes what it is a game.
Go for it !!
Good luck, you got this!

@@justanaveragehaunter1210 thanks
Good luck

yeah they missed a bunch of things
guessing this are only strikeout pitches
What amazes me is the catcher’s glove it even after/ before the batter swing.
Those are really amazing pitches!

Could you imagine these pitches being hit perfectly? Those would be out of the stadium.
Me and a few bruh
I went to a brewers/cards game late in the season where Helsley through several at 104, I was in awe
Remember when chapman would be all over these , times have changed 😪
Literally just last year lmao

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

Camilo Doval representation. We love to see it
Imagine if Hicks was a Southpaw?🤯
I hope Helsley can be as dominant in 2023 as he was last year... Guy was an absolute nightmare. Minus that last inning in the WC series when he was hurt.
I believe the last pitch Nolan threw in his last game was clocked at 98mph...
Ryan Helsley through a 104 mph fastball twice
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
What about Munoz’s 103 in the wild card game?
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.
Helsley and Hicks, that’s “H”for heat. Them boys can throw a little. Just need em to stay healthy.
there are more hard throwers in the game today than ever before. Heck, today many starting pitchers are throwing 95 plus! There is nothing the batters can do that will give them more time to react. we are or have reached the limit of the brains ability to perceive and react to balls being pitched.
When your change up is 95 mph
102 is the new 95!
Damn, anyone see that 105 by Duran recently?!🤯
Doval's arm slot is nasty
Love Baseball 🥰
on the 103 pitches, the velocity graphic they use always says 102.8. It seems flawed. There was one that said 102.9, but that seems sus.
Duran is absolutely filthy.
Surprisingly that the pitcher had too much arm day before the game
2:08, I expected more of a reaction

This just rounders
No Greene? Pretty sure he hit 103.1
Now everyone throws gas
Andres!
Damn never knew Duran was that nasty
How does anyone hit in this sport, ever.
where is spencer strider?
Hicks 🔥🔥🔥
The number of Hicks used to be 49 but now it’s to 12
Or it used to be 12 and it’s 49
Emanuel clase 100 (mphcutter)
Hicks then Helsley in the same bullpen is unfair
I love when a 100 mph pitch smaks the catcher's glove
Why is Munoz pitching in the 6th inning he’s a closer 😂
shigeno goro right here
Love to se NYY strikeout👍👍👍
Awesome
20 years from now, we'll prolly see ppl throwing 110 somehow....
Is it a coincidence they were all strikeout pitches or?
Jose Alvarado? Serathony Dominguez?
Great watching Machado whiff
HAHA!! 😹
Remember chapman...
So no Felix Bautista? Pretty sure he hit 102 and 103 almost always on the fastball
IKR MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHT HE THREW 103 CONSISTENTLY
I would know because Im an O’s fan
All this fast throwing pitchers end up having problems with there arm rotating shouder bone as they get older
Anonymous will be lobbying on behalf of Pete Rose being eligible for the Hall of Fame. It's a Cooperstown decision. Not an MLB decision.
Th guns gotta be different. I dont believe everyone is hitting 100 plus
there are so many good pitchers in the NL than AL
Let me save you guys some time. They all throw 103mph. The video never shows a slowest to fastest pitch order. It’s just 103mph for the whole video so not worth wasting your time on the video.
Wjat does this do to catchers hand
DR DR DR DR

このデュラン、ドバル、ヒックスは若さでやってるけどトミージョン手術になりそうだな。
ディアスは変化球混ぜてストレートでと投球術はうまいけどな！
Fast
If Nolan Ryan is not in this season, then this season does not have the fastest pitches ever.
they didnt say fastest pitches ever
i promise to all the people who believe in my i will be in the MLB and i will show out and you will know my name
⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾
MEH. Most were only 102.8 or 102.9
@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
