Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I normally don't watch baseball. But the Univ of Tennessee baseball team is running good this year. Averaging 4 homers a game. But their pitching squad is a Phenom. A handful of them. One of their pitchers tossed a 105.5 fastball this past weekend. WHEWWWWWW.............. that's fast on water. You can find him on Youtube under: BEN JOYCE ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 But does he do it consistently and are they strikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 That’s fast alright but unless it has some movement or he knows how to pitch inside, outside, low, high etc, the hitters will time that and make it sail to the moon! 105 is impressive though!

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Sorri fellers, but I can't relate to any history facts about him. Heck, he's only 20 yrs old and I don't even know if he can even tie his own shoes. But he can sure burn the threads off that ball. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Well you have to be able to throw 105mph before you can throw strikes at that speed. There's not exactly a bunch who have reached 105mph period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Shapiro Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Dang. That's a FASTball. I'm sure with some practice, if he isn't in control of that yet, he will be. Impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 The Indians....uh...Guardians (ugh) signed this guy 100 mph + it pays to have some heat! https://www.news5cleveland.com/sports/cleveland-guardians/cleveland-guardians-sign-pitcher-emmanuel-clase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCandless Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Since this young man has pitched a perfect game, I'd say he exhibits enough control to get the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
