No way these guys are throwing 3300 RPM sliders without something on the ball.

Ohhhhhhh. Pitches. With a “p.” That really changes the post I planned out.

Thought I was still in the IBIHB subforum and, uh, totally misread the thread title.

I don't watch baseball, so I have no idea who that guy is. Gives big John Rocker vibes though.

Jhoan Duran throws shit that doesn't make sense. 

How do you move a ball like that at 102?

You don't.  You throw it 102 with a high rate of backspin and it rides....which mindfucks the batter when he just saw a 90 mph ball come out of the exact same place that fell off the table.

my favorite pitch in baseball is a front sport 2-seamer from a RHP to a LHB. unhittable pitch when done like this:

*front door

[shadow_operative 15932]

19 inches of run. jesus.

 

[shadow_operative 15932]

 

 

[HenryJames 66035]

 

[shadow_operative 15932]

that's basically a 100 mph change up. that's completely unhittable.

[shadow_operative 15932]

good lord, this might be the nastiest pitch of the thread so far:

 

[Pato del Muerto 52485]

Step at you, throw at you, bring it all the way back. Yikes.

[shadow_operative 15932]

he has one of the filthiest changeups in the game, and then he gives you this with two strikes:

just unfair.

[shadow_operative 15932]

I remember reading an article in my hometown paper long ago that tried to determine the most difficult thing to do in sports. I figured it was hit a golf ball or maybe some Olympic event. It was hit a baseball thrown by a major league pitcher...probably most minor league ones as well. I don't even think it was "get a hit" ... it may have simply been "hit it."

I don't remember the criteria but seeing these videos, I would agree. Even never having played organized ball.

Though I also have no idea how hockey players see or react to a puck.

Anyone who can make Jose Ramirez do this is straight nasty.
