I don't see what the big deal is to have figured out a technique in which a catcher can throw 2.0 with a 75 mile an hour velocity. Seems to me that is quite unremarkable.

75 MPH release velocity results in an average velocity of about 68.5 MPH, which is almost exactly 100 feet per second. That means the ball takes just under 1.3 seconds to travel 127 feet to second base.

So, any release time under .7 seconds will get a 2.0 pop time. That is not an incredibly fast release time.

So I don't see why it would be so amazing that you've developed some "new" technique that accomplishes what has been routinely accomplished by other techniques.
