Don't want to leave this out..
Not a coincidence that the top 2 players who came in to train yesterday also had a longest, most focused warm up routine.
And the hitters who are want to be D1 commits come in, don't do much and jump straight into hitting..
A top-ranked Senior in Illinois came in for the 1st time yesterday.
He walked in at 67mph bat speed… (slow, especially for his size + D1 commit)
And walked out cruising at 75mph.
No magic drill or feel.
Just holding him accountable—showing him there’s way more in the tank.
Sometimes you have to get uncomfortable.
Now it's time to keep working at it and transfer into the game (only thing that matters)
@TreadAthletics I remember seeing a piece on this. They said that the human limit is 112mph, after that ligaments cannot handle the force. I've tried searching it since, but can't find it!
All world records, over time, approach a theoretical upper limit.
1. Where do you think this theoretical limit is for peak fastball velocity? [Poll]
2. Do you think we will see this in our lifetimes? [Comment]
Getting an athlete who has thrown one way their entire lives to throw slightly different in competition is really hard.
This is also why it can be a real advantage to work on mechanics when athletes are younger. They’re blank slates with no bad habits.
@r_saunders15@PitchingNinja I read years ago, no sources, and I don't remember where, but it said the body's max throwing velo for a baseball was 112mph, or somewhere near that. These guys are going to test that in the near future at this rate!!
Who remembers playing wiffle ball or tennis ball baseball growing up 🙋♂️⚾️
