Of course, that only matters if you can throw 80 mph or higher.
A couple years back, my best friend was getting married at Buffalo Trace in Kentucky. Really cool wedding venue actually--highly recommend if you know anyone getting married to check it out.
But on topic, my wife and I ended up staying one night in Louisville when we arrived in Kentucky as that was where we flew into, and we got to go to the Louisville Slugger museum. Also a really cool place if you're in the area.
They had a pitching cage attraction, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I mean, I know I'm not throwing 80, but I'm 6'5" and was under 40 at the time, I figured I could at least hurl 65-70 mph. How hard can it be, right? I mean, I knew I wasn't going to be throwing strikes, but uncontrolled velocity can't be that hard?
Nope. 55 mph was the best I could muster, and I damn near threw my arm out trying to get there.
I can't even begin to imagine what it must take to get that ball up into the 100 mph range and how must stress it puts on your entire arm and shoulder.
