Just goes to show you how goat tony Gwynn was
It’s Goatani to youAnd this is why ohtani is once in a lifetime player being elite at both. 101 fastball, 100 sinker, slider, curve, splitter, cutter, and crushing balls 450 feet.
Bonds was routine smacking over 95+ pitches like it was nothing…. Majority of the league pitches was too scared to pitch to himAs former baseball player, anything over 95 mph is extremely difficult to time. Becomes guessing game, no time to analyze which pitch out of hand. Laying lumber on a 93+ mph is therapeutic.
Yup 100%.
"Off speed pitches" in MLB are still HELLA fast. Sliders, curve etc. You just hear some whistle and then the leather pop on the catcher gloves.
And those pitches to Barry Bonds was lookin like 2 mph
It isI still think hitting a baseball probably the hardest thing to do in all the major sports.
What about this batter?1. Those kids weren't ready for that velocity and movement
2. Their swings could be shorter
3. Their anticipation needs work. Get that front foot down earlier. Especially if you have a high leg kick.
What about this batter?
What about her?Some of those pitches were filthy.
Who is the batter? A guy lunging like he did on some of those pitches makes me wonder how skilled he is.
Great video. I love catchers perspective.
