@Xtdg89x I was referring to brian wilson hopping "after" his release while u were before throwing.thats my bad. but im sure he throws in the 90s off a mound too

[Xtdg89x]

@hinkie07 umm not to the extent this pitcher was. thats a balk buddy

[hinkie07]

@Xtdg89x Yeah cuz nobody does that (Brian Wilson)

[jakerepp15]

poor bastard couldnt find the strike zone. 105 walks in 75 innings

[Xtdg89x]

is he gonna hop off the mound to hit 90's in a real game as well?

@techtex08 on tv they dont use guns they use pitchfx or something. on the gun it says peak in the video, that means out of hand

[techtex08]

@psopitch8 But everyones velocity should be recorded there! I have witness pitcher's throw 90+ recorded at plate. Most major league guns u see on TV are being pick up at the plate. More now a days than years past. But teams do still do it.

@techtex08 nobody picks up the velocity at homeplate retard

[techtex08]

They are picking the ball up out of his hand and not at the plate where it should be. He's throwing around 88 with a crow hop... c'mon! Nice sell tho.
