Any true major league hitter can catch up to even the hardest thrown fast ball. Without movement or location, they're all just Nuke Laloosh. He's right. Today's rampant arm injuries are a direct result of the over emphasis on stats like Velo.& pitch count

@@donsilverthorn7060 average big Leaguer doesnt move the glove less then 30% of the time. So now that, that fact is out there, what is making these guys effective. The truth is because their "stuff" is better!!! A 100 mph fastball with good extension is better then an 88 mph "knee high" strike. Evolve with the game or be left behind

@@jordanwatson409 how many can throw 100 MPH? Those who can't try...what happens? Straightens out, then they get killed. That's called "throwing". Some have the freakish capability to have extensive velocity. Take 88 with "life" or "late movement" because it can make you a millionaire with beach front property in LA, especially if, like the majority, you can't throw 100 mph. Arm injuries begin with the basic throwing action that's associated with flat ground throwing. It starts there. Then minus adequate pitching instruction over a long period of time, they take that poor balance and direction to the mound. Then they throw with more effort in a less efficient manner. Over time, it's very similar to the wear of a tire that is out of balance, the treads wear out, then they're hurt. It's not if they will get hurt, it's when. Trying to over-throw only accelerates the inevitability. That's what Leo is basically trying to say.

Velocity can be a factor in a pitchers success or even potential but it’s not more important than command and location of the fastball. What’s the point of throwing 100 if you can’t hit your target..

averaging 100 mph vs averaging 90 mph you are about 12 times more likely to experience serious arm injury not to mention you will tire out way faster on any given night. if you can make the same outs by throwing 90 mph you are by definition much more efficient than the pitcher that throws 100 mph.
