    went to the carnival this weekend threw an 89 mph fastball
    I cant believe i did that. I couldnt even sleep that night barely. The guy at the carnival said he hasnt seen anyone throw that hard for a few years. All my friends now are telling me to join a team and to write some college coaches I have no idea what to do. I havent played baseball since freshman year in HS and i was at 3rd base

    me and my buddy lars are the only ones that tried it and he threw it 58 mph

    then it came my turn and i hit 75 right away. everyone was impressed. then i hit 79. i started to be like "wow could i hit 80" so i stretched out a little bit and did some windmills. then i hit 89 and knocked the guys socks off he couldnt believe it. made a huge thud when it hit the tarp

    could be something could be nothing

    If you showed the carnival guy your dick he would of said he hasn't seen a dick that big in years also.
    Don't quit your day job. It's one thing to throw at a carnival with a large ass tarp and another to hit the catchers glove.

          how much movement did you get on that 89mph fast ball?

          If you are at all serious, which I doubt, once you start hitting 90 on the radar, the scouts start looking at you. I really doubt you threw 89 on your third pitch though. And if you it did record 89, then the radar gun was malfunctioning.

          A friend of mine hit 88 on the radar at myrtle beach, but he was a HS pitcher with college offers.

              this.

              no fukkin way you hit 89 mph at a carnival.

              No way bruh no fukkin way. For you to hit 89mph you would need to long toss first and be throwing off a mound with cleats on.

              If you can hit 89mph on flat ground without warming up properly then you would likely be throwing 93-94mph
              off of a mound.

              Post a video of you hitting 89mph and i will leave SBR forever. Vegas39 and No Coincidences would like that so do them a favor and post the damn video.

                              Maybe that assistant coach from Tulane (aka Mustache Man) gave you a little adrenaline rush.

                                    Anyone can throw hard buddy. Try locating the fastball on the corners then get back to us.

                                        This guy enjoys talking about himself. NO u can not run a 4.4 40, NO u can not go from the couch to an NFL TE & no you can not pitch in the majors because of a malfunctioning carnival radar gun. Now get back to picking winners!!

                                              Tony did you give up your dream of becoming a Division I pill head?

                                              I know 2 weeks ago you were asking about a pill habit.

                                              Let me help Tony out here.

                                              You did not throw 89 mph.

                                              No way, no how, it didn't happen.

                                              It may have registered 89 mph.

                                              But the truth is, those carnival radar guns are not exactly accurate. If the aim, or your position varies, the range of accuracy on the gun can be as much as 10-20 mph.

                                              The degree of angle needs to be consistent, and I really doubt much thought is given into how those things are set up.

                                                  Even guys who throw 100 fail in the minors because they have no location or no secondary pitch.

                                                  If you throw 100 but have no movement on it, it just goes in a straight line, you will get teed off on

                                                            What did your letter to these coaches say? I went to a carnival and won a big stuffed donkey because I threw 89mph at a tarp?

                                                            Hey, guys I just made a free throw, maybe I should see if I can get a free agent signing with the NBA!!!

                                                                no fukkin way you hit 89 mph at a carnival.

                                                                No way bruh no fukkin way. For you to hit 89mph you would need to long toss first and be throwing off a mound with cleats on.

                                                                If you can hit 89mph on flat ground without warming up properly then you would likely be throwing 93-94mph

                                                                Post a video of you hitting 89mph and i will leave SBR forever. Vegas39 and No Coincidences would like that so do them a favor and post the damn video.
                                                                thats not true .. when i was in high school i was able to throw a low 80s fastball without warming up .. yeah my arm would hurt but whose arm wouldnt?

                                                                you can throw 1 pitch hard without warming up

Not a chance, and if you could do that yes, you can at least try to get on a minor league team or something to develop because you'd probably be able to hit 98+ after development and the proper attire on. But, it's a carnival game... not really the most accurate in the world.
