- Tennessee pitcher Ben Joyce throws a bunch of 100mph+ fastballs to Vanderbilt batters in the ninth inning of their SEC tournament game, 5/26/22.
This video belongs to the Southeastern Conference and the NCAA.
That dude just took 102 to the nuts and lived to tell the tale. Much respect
Only he cant tell the tale to his kids though
@@natew.4699 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I just read this on my way to work and you made my day thank you
Why this video isn't titled "Catcher Explodes both Testes into Fine Mist" is beyond me
Yeah, having been a catcher, I'd say it probably hit next to the cup, the very upper, inside of the thigh. Even with a cup on, that would drive the cup into the skin enough to put a MAJOR Shockwave through Mr. Pecker AND the Kids, , and a break would have had to been taken...for sure.
@@jeffdarnell7942 yep! Catcher is the REAL MVP for that one
I think he lost his future plans.
@@jeffdarnell7942 no that was all cup
Imagine if he added a nice 75 mph change up every 5 pitches or so.
That's like asking an NHRA Dragster to drive through a school zone. I mean, you could do that, but do you really want to?
Against MLB players he probably should
@@detroit601 Against MLB players he'd better if he wants to stay in the MLB for long. he keeps pumping 102 every pitch to pro hitters, his ERA would be sky high.
Definitely working on a power change should be the goal at this stage. A true curve would be easy on the arm, but very few players can locate and get that past MLB hitters in 2022. He'll start working in a slider eventually if/when he hits MLB, and it will be a truly nasty thing, but it'll put a lot of strain on his elbow and there's no way I'd be letting him throw it when he's still throwing the hardest fastball on the planet playing against college kids. But yeah, right now he should be in the lab on that 91mph changeup with the nasty arm-side run. I wouldn't advise teaching him the split because 1) it's anecdotally hard on the elbow and 2) It's almost never in the zone, and this kid should be trying to steal more strikes instead of trying to somehow increase his swing-and-miss.
He better be REALLY good at his delivery!! Most power pitchers that add a change up have a movement specific change when they let go of the change-up, and it's easy to read, especially the better hitters in College, and especially the Majors.
I like how the catcher doesn't even give him a sign, you throw 103, just keeping throwing it lol
The scouts with their radar guns are hilarious. Something out of a movie.
he should go right to the majors.. too bad they wont draft him because of diversity.
One tough catcher :54
very strong arm that will get him signed but mlb is full of em. needs more variety to be successful in the mlb.
That catcher better send a thank you letter to the company that made his cup.
First time i ever saw a catcher rush the mound on his own pitcher
lol
Scouts here gunning him like he ain’t 100-105 every appearance lol
Right…lol… I think their just there in case he goes 110 to say “I was there “ …😂
The entire Tennessee team is gonna get a shot at the Big Leagues. The Vols look like an unstoppable team on a mission.
Hopefully they won't have to play VaTech...That team is loaded with dudes who love fastballs to go yard with.
The company who makes the cup the catcher is wearing should use this in a commercial.
This must be what it was like facing Nolan Ryan in the 70's. Batters don't stand much of a chance.
@@Vizxual Player development in the minors will help him with the confidence and to mix in some good off speed stuff. Easy to over power college hitters, but pro's are another animal altogether.
@@Vizxual I definitely think your right about the confidence thing with this kid… if you put a barrel on the ball it is gonna fly. I think that he will have to rely on is breaking stuff a lot more in the pros because a flat 102 fastball is gonna get mashed
102 to the nuts he took it like a man 😆
Thought that was Henry Rowengartner out there throwin gas!
Two decent barrels against his 100 plus. Just goes to show that good hitters can still hit that. Big league hitters will even better. It will take more than velo to consistently get big league hitters out. Which, by the way, I’m certain he’s got more! It’s definitely cool to watch him and see the 100+ on every pitch. But again, it’s also cool to see that velo can still be put in play by good hitters. Big star in the making!
he is playing with a 9 run lead
@@martinshkreli3677 which makes sense why he wouldn’t feel the need to show anything else that I said I’m sure he has. But that doesn’t take away the fact that two guys got decent barrels on 100+ pitches
You realize college hitters also have metal bats, when Joyce gets to the Pros he’s gonna be breaking bats and giving up weaker contact especially since with metal bats and the velocity he pitches the hitter can stick the bat out and play pepper and the ball could be hit pretty hard
@@benr8415 I was very complimentary to him but made one observation. Wow ok, yea big league hitters are going to melt in his presence lolol
@@benr8415 lol right, the ball won’t be traveling that far off wood but when a pitcher throws that hard it’s still gonna pop if you catch it right
Ben Joyce is stall a diamond in the rough. He has a major league fastball. He'll be fun to watch after he's been polished by major league pitching coaches.
Riiight. Like he hasn't already seen a small lifetime of coaches from the time he was 8. This kind of talent is easy to spot at a young age.
Rocket man, on Rocky Top!
This Tennessee team is unbelievable.
They just struggled with a nobody..please
NOFRENZ LMAO WHO?!?!? We lost 7 games out of 64… we are the best team and it’s not even close
@@cooperhouser1671 by record,...good luck
@@cooperhouser1671 Florida Panthers won the Presidents trophy for BEST record...look what happened to them...just saying bro.
NOFRENZ lol, please. Who’s better than us?
joyce: hey are you still gonna be able to have kids?
the catcher: 0:40
Dude's throwing smoke!
He has a pro level fastball, but he desperately needs to learn another 1-2 pitches or else the pros will eat him alive.
Fastball/slider is enough for the bigs, just need command. To be a starter, yeah a third pitch.
False
@@TexasRangersBoy You don’t think MLB starters will be able to hit a guy that only throws a fastball +90% of the time?
@@danielpenrodii2389 I mean, yeah. He mainly throws fastball. And even as a Vols fan myself, I could say that he and many of our other players still have to work on their game quite a bit, but the latest players have seen pitching like Ben Joyce is Aroldis Chapman, Jacob deGrom, etc. He could absolutely use more than a fastball, changeup, and slider, but he still has time to work on that when he hopefully gets drafted. He’ll get all the bullpen sessions he needs and he can be just as good as he looks at first glance right now.
I hope he has another two pitches, you know those Big Leagues will time him eventually and if he doesn't trust anything else other than the fastball, the Big Leagues is filled with plenty of those"next big thing" that didn't pan out. For now, though he is fun to watch.
He throws a slider and change I think he just threw only fb because no one was hitting it
The catchers reaction 😂😂😂😂
He can throw hard no question about that. Can he pitch tho?
He looked like he was hitting his spots to me. When he missed he came back in a great location. One inning though so small sample size from my perspective.
This may be one of the most dominant college teams ever👀
Title should be Catcher with back issues because balls of steel
A more traditional role in closing... is it really a traditional role when the team is up by 9?!
I mean in the playoffs against Vandy; I’m not taking any chances lol
@ 00:49 - This happened to Yadi Molina (Saint Louis Cardinals catcher) and he wasn't wearing a cup! His testicle exploded and had to be surgically repaired ......... He's lucky to still have two!!
Makes my elbow hurt just watching it.
The speed guns are ridiculous.
Laughed so fucking hard at that nut shot oh my god
Is this what Jason neighborgall was like, but with command?
How many more years does that arm have in it?
The harder they throw the farther it goes. That is, if you can actually touch it. The second batter flicked his wrist and it went about 300 ft. Imagine squaring one up.
He did more then flicked his wrist lol. He touched that baseball well. Not totally square but definitely out a good swing on it
@@nsvoo30 After taking another look I would agree. Not exactly a flick of the wrist but not a full swing. I faced several guys in college throwing high 90’s. Pitcher on our team hit 99. The only way I stood a chance of putting the barrel on the ball was shortening up the swing. Doesn’t take a big swing and in fact flick of the wrist will smoke high 90’s if you put the barrel on it. I’ve seen high 90’s guys get rocked before thinking they would come in and shove. That was also with metal bats where you can get by missing the sweet spot.
Dude looks like Kevin Nash on the mound. Pretty terrifying from batters box
This is great, but the dude's already had arm issues. I'm sure he'll be a high draft choice but I wouldn't expect a hard thrower with arm issues to last very long.
Earlier in his college career he had arm issues. People do heal and he might never have them again.
@@Glock2201 lol
Why do them scouts need proof every time he throws
THEM? try again....
With all the hype I heard before watching this I thought this dude was a starting pitcher
Why is he pitching with a 9 run lead?
When does Tennessee not have a 9 run lead 😂😂
Give him throwing time. He's recovering from an injury, and only throwing 103mph.
Letting the scouts get more time on him
Big Ben has a live arm but will still need a curveball.....
Weirdo scouts wasting their time clockin him, everyone knows he throws 100, it’s also on the big screen. Too many scouts just jotting numbers down these days. Their whole roster gettin drafted anyway lol
100mph doesn’t mean anything if he can’t throw a curve ball. You don’t know baseball garret. Go back to your desk job
I grew up with Evan Russell their catcher. Such a great group of guys
@@jessemckee8327 Evan is a jerk.
Agreed! Putting their gun up every time like they didn’t believe the last reading and the reading of the hundred other guns around them. Smh
@@Vizxual That’s awesome. A bunch of good people out there
If he doesn’t get at least 2-3 more pitches other than just fireball heat he is going to get lit up in the majors and even some high AAA teams
Put him straight to the big leagues. Screw a team that says he needs to develop. Develop what. He’s above above average, sooo much more than what Stephen Strasburg was.
all he has is a fastball buddy. We've seen what Chapman has done in the mlb and he throws harder
@@calejudy2296 he has a slider and change and Chapman struggles for triple digits now
Just playing really hard and fast catch with the catcher here lol
when he get's a slider will be unstoppable.
A Ben Joyce fastball to the nads that's a strong cup
That’s a big boy
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dang this guys throws gas
That dude reminds me of Randy Johnson
Two hands!
Not the Nuggets!🤣
my boy spammin fastballs
no control. Either overthrows or right down the middle
For all the hype, this kid better go 1/1.
He has a cup in
the batters know it’s coming, still can’t do anything
Does he ever throw a curve, or change-up?
He has a slider and change. I think he just wanted to stick to fb because that’s his most dominant pitch at the time
Im pretty sure it almost his testies. If the ball had indeed hit the zone, im pretty sure the catcher wouldnt be playing the rest of the inning.
Looking at his pitching delivery, this kid will blow out his ligaments if he keeps it up
Sid Finch!
can bro go offspeed at all tho? hes gon get smashed in the majors
I dont care how hard you throw. When you're a one trick pony- you will get absolutely tattooed. all i need to know and see is Chapman. This kid needs to have at LEAST two pitches. Super fun to watch dont get me wrong- but i cant imagine how high the ceiling would be with 3 pitches. Electric arm
His slider has like a 60-70 grade, he just does not need to use it in college. And really he needs 3 pitches not 2, which is why a bunch of people are commenting to learn a changeup before he gets called to the majors.
5' 4" in ninth grade and now 6' 5". He had growth plate issues, so they gave him growth hormones I take it?
Eat your heart Chapman
Nothing but vanity. He'll be another 5 inning starter making $30 million a year and having surgery by 25 needlessly throwing this hard. Movement and location kid. Dial it back to 95 and save your arm.
Dude, he's not an RPG character. He can't just take points out of his velo stat and put it into movement and location. If you're trying to aim it instead of letting your mechanics work for you and throwing it, your ball is just going to be slower and less in control.
this is pich no braking ball? wow..
so as a 9th grader he was 5'4 and 100 lbs.. Then a Doctor recommended growth hormone. Yes this is what Doctors do, they get a % of the insurance cost. Now the growth was taken until 12th grade where he was now much bigger, and everyone says, WOW what do you feed this kid, or where did he get his size ? And usual parent answer is, "His uncle is a tall guy"... Meanwhile the growth lasts another 6 months on the body, where it will eventually deplete, but the size and strength are there !
Messi also took growth. Are you sure Joyce did?
@@crackerjackB Not a big deal these days. When he was 100lbs in 9th grade, its not tuff to see. Stay well Desi !
A lot of people here saying he is going to need Tommy John surgery.
He already had Tommy John surgery.
No way his arm lasts that long.
The strikes he throws don't move most of the time. These are all meatballs for a major leaguer. I hope he can throw an effective change up also. Change that grip and get some movement on that heater.
The avg. fastball speed in the mlb is 93.5 and only 11 pitchers have touched 103 ever… he certainly needs a secondary pitch but his fastballs are far from “meatballs” for mlb hitters
Already a closer at that age? Does he not start? I don't know that did not work out to well for Houston Street.
Huston street had a solid big league career. Wtf are you talking about
@@zitofan4life It was ok
Doubt he will ever make it to a Senior? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Ben Joyce doesn't just throw fast, he hits the spots that the catcher gives him
He better learn an off speed pitch, or MLB hitters will mash his pitches
KOREAN POWER
Tommy John surgery by 25?
He looks like he juices, not saying that he does, but he's quite muscular to say the least. I hope he's not.
Just goes to show that if you are gonna just throw heat - hitters will hit you - and the ball will go a long way.
No home runs
@@AmericanSpartan in college. He gets lit up in MLB
Literally gave up no runs
@@sdn40 they use metal bats in college, Joyce will be just fine when he gets to the pros
@@benr8415
Against literally guys that will be playing mens bar league softball the rest of their lives
Boy better start pitching 80s if he want to last.
Tommy John surgery, here I come.......
roids
Can you say Tommy John surgery?
He’s already had it once
just say u know nothing about pitching
I believe he already had the surgery.
@@maxreiter2826 why do you say that….you throw over 100 mph all day for years …..the arm shoulder wears out. What say u?
He already had it. Is throwing harder now than before surgery.
@1:11 -that's really strange.. bizarre... the way people who come from Knoxville, feel they need to advertise when a player's out of Knoxville... "K - IT JUST MEANS MORE." ... the School's jersey says "TENNESSEE" for.. A REASON... I've noticed when students enroll to The University of Tennessee.. from Chattanooga, Nashville, and Memphis.. the University's always... GLAD TO TAKE THEIR MONEY !!! it's the ENTIRE STATE of Tennessee's University !!! the University should BE UNITED... I once heard a wise man say, "A SUPERIOR ATTITUDE.. is REALLY, just AN INFERIORITY COMPLEX... disguised, as superiority" - it's looks... DESPERATE. - and, if YOU CALL OTHER PEOPLE OUT (💥IN A FLASH !!!💥) for actin' arrogant... DO YOU ACT ARROGANT ?? IT'S A FAIR QUESTION. - it's a bad 😑 look, for people who come from Knoxville.
Are you serious?
