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

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.

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?

[turty11]

top speeds achievable

4seam 102
rfb 102
cutter 100
2seam 99
splitter 95
slider 94

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