Reply to "Pitching stride over 100% for 2017?"

is23h,

We have been using TrackMan at several events this year. I suppose anything is possible, but if your son reaches 8 foot extension he will be more than 2 feet ahead of most Major League pitchers. And nearly a full foot better than the top reading we had the last two years. That would include several that were drafted in the first round.

I'm not saying any thing is not true, but TrackMan data is probably different than other ways of measuring extension. The key is how far can extension be while pitching effectively. Many MLB pitchers stride is under 100% of their height.

Anyway, if he gets anywhere close to 8 foot, make sure you get TrackMan to record it. He will definitely be the record holder.
