2 FB, 3 breaking balls, all 99 velocity...wonder if it goes 103+ if i do 4 FB's and a breaker with 99

Re: 102 MPH heaters

Well that’s the first time I seen a Running fastball at 102 mph but I’ve been trying to get the 4 Seam above 102 mph and haven’t been able to do it. It seems capped at 102 mph even with breakings balls at 99 velocity.

Re: 102 MPH heaters

I've seen 102 rarely with the 4Seam... and my breaking balls aren't at 99 velocity yet...

I wonder if 103 is possible... 104?

i dont think so because the soft cap on velocity is 100 for fastballs. MAYBE if you throw one high enough and hard enough though... with wind?

Re: 102 MPH heaters

4seam 102
rfb 102
cutter 100
2seam 99
splitter 95

Re: 102 MPH heaters

try pitching in colorado during the day or night with the wind blowing in real strong.

just tried wind max slider, no change.

i made a list of each pitches in-game velocity max out on a new post so its easy access

Re: 102 MPH heaters

Max speed, as stated above is 102 no matter what you do.

Wasn't that just a one time deal though? I think they should up the cap to maybe 104. That's only because I like seeing those high numbers when I am throwing a fastball.

well, i just got into following baseball this season, but i know he was regularly hitting 103-105 in games because theyd show it on espn

I wouldn't say its regular but I mean once or twice a game from him I wouldn't mind seeing him touch 103+. Don't know how they could work that without him being able to throw that consistently. Just checked fangraphs and his average fastball velocity this year is 97. But he definitely has the potential to touch those triple digits I will agree with that.

my only theory for minimizing that is give him little stamina so people cant crank his heater max effort every time
