Warm up Speed vs Pitching speed

89 from behind the plate!?!? Wow. If that's accurate, that is top-level arm strength. Especially for a Soph. Where was the gun? Behind the backstop? What kind of gun?

It isn't unusual to throw harder long-tossing than from the mound because you have more momentum behind your throws than off the mound. It is a bit unusual to throw that much harder from behind the plate, but it's the good kind of unusual.

As far as transfering that to the mound? It's hard to say without seeing any video. Maybe someone else would have some better advice.

OnWabana - I wasn't in AZ but since I've seen them with video cams and radar guns behind home plate at other games I assume that's where they clocked him. The varsity coach seems to be a using a lot more video and statistics to track players and correct errors via video.

He does have a very strong arm and it makes sense on the warm up speed with using the momentum thought.

We don't have any video so I guess I should get some going to see what we can do.

thanks good luck to you and yours
