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.

It's worth noting as well that the mound was 5 inches higher prior to the 1969 season, so a lot of these earlier pitches would have been even harder to hit then they were here
@@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.
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.
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!
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!!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
“I also use to think they did a lot of dru-“ 😂😂😂 perfect description of the 80s
90s and 00s too😂😂😂
70s 80s gettin blown by while dudes are on ludes, acid, coke, heroine and whatever else. Gotta be wild 😭
Ha
and steroids
Those handlebar mustaches were there to hide the nasal drip. Don't ask me how I know.

Nah.
He'd TRY, sure. But someone who knows what a barbell is will be a lot harder to knock down than the people in the 40s were...

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.
@@peeeesus exactly
@@peeeesusYea you can especially with the expensive machine they have
So that’s why I brought it up
@@5starryuga234 dont think so... Not sure how the ball would be launched off the spinning belts without any spin
To say Bob Gibson was throwing 83 is straight up disrespectful
Exactly, to say really any of these guys throwing that slow is ridiculous
Same with Bob Feller in the 40’s
How fast was he throwing?
@@oaktree1626 supposedly, he got up to 103 in 1968
Average the average for the entire league
Feller, Koufax, Paige, Lemon, Wynn, Robert’s, Spahn, Ford, etc…. Many great 50s pitchers.
I love their content but just cuz there no radar doesn’t mean these guys weren’t throwing 100

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
ON 4/20 TOO 😂😂😂
homie got rolled up like a blunt 😂😂
Real
I’m celebrating right now 💨
Yea happy birthday to that on german guy 🇩🇪❤am i right?

King of Flyouts 😂 love you bud, keep hitting nukes
Cole always looks BAKED out of his mind
eric missing the blooper pitch is funny
He’s definitely getting folded
The lapp bros are the best
This is hype Eric never fails to entertain us
We love you Cole!!
i remember when this guy was at 100k you deserve all the love not a lot of good sports TH-camrs who actually do shit and hit balls
Alternate title: Eric is the funniest person at looking bad
87 for the 90’s in absurd
It’s the average
Bro he should have given Eric a Nolan Ryan fastball
Absolutely phenomenal vid!
Finally it’s out
I think he needs to figure out his swing, he’s all over the place and way out in front AND pulling his head lol😂
Eric should do Nolan Ryan vs Randy Johnson vs Roger Clemens vs Pedro Martinez in GOAT starter from the late 90s
"Are you challenging me?"
Proceeds to swing out of his shoes*
C'mon...Gibson threw mid to upper 90s in the 60's and often at people lol
I saw the short and I couldn’t wait now it’s here let’s go
you know what, King of singles baby
Guess u can say bro went on a century long slump

Peak content is getting folded in 8 different decades.
God loves you guys!
LOVE U ERIC
It ken Griffey man. Messed your whole swing up brother.
I’ve watched like 10 batting vids and you’ve folded EVERY TIME.
Hit the damn ball! 🤣😂
CONTENT 😂
Would love to see Eric make a JUCO Olympics and try to maintain his King of JUCO title

God Is Good Amen🙏❤️
Greg Maddox lived in the upper 80s in his career and was consistently the best pitcher of that entire generation.
Happy birthday! 😊
Other legends was a consistently incredible pitcher

Going to buy that firewood T for my son, THANKS TREV!!! LOL :)
I finally figured it out. Eric Sim is the Pokemon of Baseball.
Can you adjust hit tracks by decade too?
That bloop pitch was somehow so slow it transferred Cole's yips to Sim
How you gonna use a clip of Tim Lincecum batting? And for the the 90s?
6:04 nahh my boy is trippin
This was a perfect video to throw him some wiffle balls, we miss those 🥲🥲
Maybe you should try bunting.
Kaufax and Gibson were throwing mid to high 90s
When Eric said "I'm fucked" I really felt that
Goated
Imagine if he did 1930's Satchel Paige to start the game - throwing 100+ mph then went to the 40's Bloop pitch, lol
Lift small, bunt the ball
Crazy Nolan Ryan was in 4 of those decades!
Eric looked so lost in this video he was not locked in
"KING OF JUCO???????"............NOT EVEN THAT!!!!!!!!!!!............BIG MAN YOU CAN'T HIT TO SAVE UR LIFE...............D-A-M-N-!!!!!!
im goijng to his merch now lol
Bob Gibson was throwing like 101-103, everyone was scared of him lol
Eric’s face be like 😂
Bob Gibson was the reason the mound was moved back to where it is now.
The Bob Feller snub is interesting
Bloop pitch is also known as an Eephus pitch back then.
Lets give Eric a chance, next video do pitches from 1870s and 1880s stars like Jim Galvin and Charlie Radbourn!
Pudd.
"Can you not promote your own f***cking merch on MY video, please?"
*Proceeds to insert Trevor's plug into his own video*
Great video eric
“The 60s lead by Nolan Ryan….”
“The 70s lead by Nolan Ryan….”
“The 80s lead by Nolan Ryan…”
“The 90s the last decade lead by Nolan Ryan…”
Gibson & Koufax both threw over 94mph
Eric getting humbled
lmfao! Trevor....
For the future you faced Jacob degrom?
83 for Bob Gibson more like 103 what are we doing.
