My real life experience is being a 6'4" 230 lb pitcher who played 4 years of college baseball. I would consider myself a very coordinated person. Worked my butt off over those 4 years to get better, but never threw above 85. Worked out for me though, as I had a mid-3 ERA for my career. Throwing hard is harder than it looks.

There are only a few explanations for a human of your stature to have velocity issues like the ones you have experienced.

A. You are not as coordinated as you think

B. you have the arms of an alligator

C. You might not be throwing with your dominate arm

D. You took up baseball as a senior in high school

E. your 235lbs are mostly goo, not producing the proper amount of torque.

F. You were inadvertantly standing on a step ladder while having your height measured

Ps if your name is scott martin, i will refer you to E.

William, You are not as smart as you think. The 6'6 pitcher that throws around 88-89 out of high school, describes Tim Kelly to a tee. Tim was a very nice pitcher for Gene Stephenson and was drafted after a very fine Shocker career. But because you are a strong Shocker supporter, you already know that. I'll take a repeat of Kelly's career from Whelan any day of the week. He's going to be a very fine Shocker pitcher.

Kenny Steenstra would have been a better example of tall guy that doesn't throw very hard that goes pro, but while we are at it what is your point? Some of you are very strange.

wild will never said mph=pitching.

We-Willy, below was your original quote I believe. How does this not suggest you put a lot off emphasis on velocity and pitching?

"Kid must be un-coordinated, how could someone 6-6 205 not throw more than 90mph? Must be a project"

You are exhausting, if you are not getting the humor, maybe just leave it alone?

If no one is getting the humor, maybe the "comedian" should leave it alone?

Technically, the chances of a good thread died at the 2nd post.

I've been out of town on family business and not looking at this thread (or any other) for more than just four days, but one thing it did accomplish was to expand my Ignore list.

[shockerofandover0943]

I'd like Cold's ban to be traded to William. At least some of Cold's "humor" is funny.

Your most prized possession and the thing you just love telling everybody about.
