That's what I thought too...I have seen some BIG boys on the mound...but I also didn't see what they looked like in High School and College....hence the question.

The way it is phrased would imply that if you can't jump 25 inches currently - you can't throw 90 currently. Not sure if that is what he means, but it sure sounds like it to me.

Although I admit I don't know if 25 inches is really a big jump or not. I'm over 40, probably 30 pounds overweight, and I can do it. Just jumped up on my desk to test. Guy in the office next to me thinks I've lost my mind.

Rob T...I will try to remember to add a disclaimer to my posts...DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME (or office)
