The fact that this kid can throw 100mph (and 107 mph from a crow hop) and is still only the Frontier League speaks volumes about the level of talent at the highest levels of play. Many of these are solid strikes too, unlike many of the guys on the channel that wildly throw mid to upper 90s from a run. Hope Hunter makes it to the bigs someday!
Respectfully asking, what would make an MLB team not want to consider someone like him? Is it pitch selection, stamina or another factor that you work on at the camp here?
Unpopular opinion: I miss the days when you didn’t have to throw 100+ to be considered elite…and when every pitcher in the league didn’t need TJ every three seasons
I thought he was on the mound while doing it but he's RUNNING and throwing the ball. If Randy Johnson had a running start from the mound he would've thrown over 120mph if that was the case! Impressive, but would've been more impressive without the extra running off the mound. Just my opinion...
Yeah, but this guy didn’t break that record because he wasn’t pitching that fast. I’m not sure what the record is for the fastest baseball ever thrown during a pull down is. I’ve seen Trevor Bauer hit 109 in one of his videos.
All these guns get the velocity out of the hand. Getting it at the plate is more realistic because that is what the batter sees; yes it matters. Nolan would probably get near 110 with these modern guns. J R Richards was another guy that would probably hit 105+. Lee Smith is another candidate.
I can compose entire orchestral film score type music and actually read all of the instrument parts, studied music at university of Michigan and it’s still what I do today for my “job”…I can sit at a piano and make up an entire song in front of you and let you pick out the notes to start on, and have a song composed in any genre in about 15 minutes…. And I would give all of that up, the talent, the ability, the allure of composing, the ability to evoke any emotion out of other people based on what notes i play…..to be able to do what that dude is doing, with that speed, and power; precision, and be able to have an arsenal of pitches that you are awesome at, and play a team sport at a high level, be great at something like pitching. That shit is so freakin fascinating and awesome to watch and see how it’s done, and then add playing in front of crowds of people where generally half of them love you (if you are good 😂) and the other half wants you to fail…… Dammit that is so awesome
At 3:43…I’m not a pitcher, but am curious about the hyperextended left knee that Hoopes plants. Is that a normal movement/position for the left knee to be hyperextended? Or is that a small, unorthodox part of his delivery? I ask because it looks awfully painful. Not negatively critiquing in any way!!!!
You'll see it with certain pitchers who have hypermobility in that lead leg. Biggest name who has it is Justin Verlander. We talk about it extensively in this mechanical breakdown if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/UhNwZFq8M3o/v-deo.html
The analogy feels like the equivalent of a long drive contest competitor in golf vs a pro golfer. Not saying I'm not impressed, just saying there is a difference. Let me see a slider/sinker/change amd I'm on board. Maybe I need to see more! Feels like your students are all in. Nothing like "proof is in the pudding" type of Gas. Im here for it
Insanely impressive. Especially considering he strains to get over his front leg (tripod look) and his elbow is behind his head at ER. I bet you he'd hit 102-103 off the mound if he broke his hands as fast off the mound as he does when he shuffles. Insane combination of strength and flexibility and just overall talent.
Those are some very generous radar readings to say the least. I’m sure he’s hitting upper 90s and occasionally cracking triple digits, but 107.5, no chance. 105.7 was a misread too.
I mean major leagues could definitely crow hop it at 107, but they aren't doing that in MLB, they throw it off the mound. But still this guy hitting accurate 98/99 and reaching 100 heater is definitely impressive
Did anyone notice this guy's extension from leading foot to ballhand right before he brings it through. Watch how far he steps off of the mound. This man is using every inch of his body to throw the pitches.
@@treadathleticssome people must really unhappy with their lives. Why not just enjoy. I think it’s great. What a great recruiting tool to have! That guy has a gift. I wonder what his story is? Maybe nerves in front of huge crowds he draws. Some people just can’t handle performing in front of huge crowds.
I wonder in this era, 97 to 100 mph pitchers are more usual and the new "normal", how would've maddux do?, i think the professor would kill in my opinion
hey quick question, why is it that on some or really.. all of his throws, he’s falling off to his lhs, is it from badly placed linear energy or some final rotational energy that torques him that way when he finishes, just curious why since i’ve been meticulously trying to not do that yet he throws 100 and does do that
Nolan Ryan threw 102mph game, after game, after game, year after year, after year, for 27 years. He pitched when pitchers weren't pampered by limiting them to 6IP, skipping starts, 5 man rotations, etc. Frankly nothing anyone does today impresses me. How can it?
@@treadathletics True. My point was more that he was a true fireballer and was expected to go nine innings every fourth game or so. If he only had to throw six innings he might have been able to pitch until his 92nd birthday.
This is amazing and I’m not being critical, but is it passable or sustainable more so in the long run to be hyperextending your plant foot leg every pitch? Maybe he was abandoning some mechanics to hit an over 100 number?
Depends on your mobility. As @humanperson7198 mentioned, Verlander has been doing it for decades now. We wouldn't recommend chasing that position though. It's just his body's version of a proper lead leg block.
@@treadathletics>> Could Somebody Please Explain 2 me. Why Sometimes The reading ,ON The RADAR . IT WILL B Different than What. The TRACKMAN SHEET ,That Pops Up 2 The Right.
I mean he ain’t doing that in pros or college. He’s running forward then throwing with extra trajectory. He probably throws naturally 95-98 with occasional 100
I don't play baseball, so excuse my ignorance: i'd like to know why he is easily throwing 105 when the ball is ~ head high, but is struggling to get 100 when throwing to the catcher? Like, why is that the case? What changes?
I really hope his arm doesn't explode. Not sure what he's trying to prove. Either you can strike batters out or not. Batters can time that high speed stuff and they go a long way....
0:50 that shows how stupid those guys are not understanding that his forward motion when he is virtually running into the throw bumps up a couple mph he is slinging his arm off to barely get 100mph. not sustainable that crow hop means nothing because he cant pitch to a batter like that i guess they skipped physics class(especially ginger boy?)
Hes got gas. Idk about pure placement. That pitch and a change up with PP & finesse, he's on his way to a Cy Young, if that right arm and elbow stays together. I hope he stays healthy & rolls thru the minors and on to the bigs.
When I played we weren’t allowed to do anything at all without a baseball hat on. We were also not allowed to wear shorts even for an indoor practice. It was considered bad baseball etiquette. Coaches and scouts would take that into account when recruiting. Now days there’s no standard.
"OMG he is wearing shorts instead of baseball pants, he must hate the game and anyone that mentions their name in the same sentence as it. He is one of the better pitchers I've seen in the past couple months, but he doesn't wear a hat, so there is no way we should sign him" Ya I'm sure that's what went through a scouts head when they watched this
@ Like I said. Times have changed. I guess if you truly are the best and that far ahead of everyone else you can do what you want. Most of us were competing with other guys who were also very good. We had to show that we were professional and had good work ethics and respect for the game.
With that kind of arm whip he’s going to major arm care or limit his intense bro ball chucking sessions… too many guys throwing like that where their arm reels back up that are toast in a few years
I have always been fascinated by guys that can throw fast, kick a ball far or drive a golf ball far because, for the most part, it doesn't really have much to do with strength. Of course strength does play a role to an extent but it is not the most important thing. The physics behind it all is just really interesting. They all work off of the same basic principles. There really is no conclusive science as to why some people can do these things and some can't. You either got it or you don't. You can take 100 random guys off the street with the same size and strength of someone like Aroldis Chapman and train them extensively and they still won't be able throw 105 mph.
It's really a mix of everything. There are certainly base levels that nearly all hard throwers hit. But it's certainly a combination of strength, mobility, anatomy, and mechancis

"OMG he is wearing shorts instead of baseball pants, he must hate the game and anyone that mentions their name in the same sentence as it. He is one of the better pitchers I've seen in the past couple months, but he doesn't wear a hat, so there is no way we should sign him" Ya I'm sure that's what went through a scouts head when they watched this

Like I said. Times have changed.
I guess if you truly are the best and that far ahead of everyone else you can do what you want. Most of us were competing with other guys who were also very good. We had to show that we were professional and had good work ethics and respect for the game.
With that kind of arm whip he’s going to major arm care or limit his intense bro ball chucking sessions… too many guys throwing like that where their arm reels back up that are toast in a few years
Still props for mad velo
What’s the over/under on TJs?
0:23 yep that is the Garrett Cole face of approval right there, folks.
watching this made my tendonitis come back and start hurting all over again. just sitting here lol
Career era higher than some little leaguers. Now that’s a coach!
Is the track man or radar more accurate?

I have always been fascinated by guys that can throw fast, kick a ball far or drive a golf ball far because, for the most part, it doesn't really have much to do with strength. Of course strength does play a role to an extent but it is not the most important thing. The physics behind it all is just really interesting. They all work off of the same basic principles. There really is no conclusive science as to why some people can do these things and some can't. You either got it or you don't. You can take 100 random guys off the street with the same size and strength of someone like Aroldis Chapman and train them extensively and they still won't be able throw 105 mph.
It's really a mix of everything. There are certainly base levels that nearly all hard throwers hit. But it's certainly a combination of strength, mobility, anatomy, and mechancis
He was closer to the sensor reading the speed which is why it read such a high speed he wasnt the normal distance away is what i guess
Thats not how a radar gun works.
I'm no coach, but seems like his arm is not as relaxed from the stretch vs pull down. Pull down was effortless.
I'm actually surprised how much velocity is added with a crow hop.
Is he not doing something illegal he took a little leap then threw are am I missing somthing?
How fast could Ben Joyce throw it shuffling? He threw 105.5 from the mound.
109
how much of a run up are you allowed in mlb?
Paul Skenes really let himself go in the offseason 😂
Lots of guys can wing it up to 100. Few can deliver semi consistent accuracy 95+ which is what it takes to make it big places.
@Thatuptownguy >>> Unless You R were GREG MADDUX, GREINKE etc etc
This guy is throwing consistent accurate 100+....
