During a rain delay at a Colorado Rockies game last month, Nathan Patterson tried his luck at a speed-pitch challenge booth. The first ball he fired reached 90 mph. The next two, 94. On his sixth and final attempt, the screen behind him lit up with an even gaudier number: 96.
Patterson, a 23-year-old software salesman, had barely played organized baseball since his junior year of high school. Yet there he was, a random fan off the street, throwing harder than most major leaguers.
In the real world there is “ wind”
He was already in talks with them to be signed
Yeah but he crow hops to throw can't pitch like that. We will see
A “regular guy” doesn’t throw a baseball 96 mph.
Pub stunt
There is nothing regular about throwing 96 mph...
He is gonna throw his arm out.
I wonder how his placement is.
Ya he wasn’t regular he was a pro already
Yeah. He already was in contact with a major league team before the viral video.
Lets not put the cart in front the horse
