Alex Speas makes throwing high velocity looks so easy; no extra movements or stiff points - just glides the entire time.

[@michaelmurphy5221]

Effortless

[@davidp2041]

Yup, less=more

[@manager4409]

looks like he's casually playing catch and it's 95. I wish they'd show some different camera angles to show how fast it really is.

[@ivanriverajr5012]

​@manager4409 bro 😂 you can't see that?

[@evanjarman2773]

He yawns in a video then hits 98 😂

[@highlyunprofessionalreviews]

I've never seen an easier 95+. That's insane.

[@brettgillis2944]

I like how this coach uses what he sees visually to give meaning to the trackman data.

[@TheDude044]

That casual 95+ is insane dude

[@manager4409]

that's the difference between these young guys spend a year going full-tilt trying to get their first 90, 91. He just casually tosses like he's playing catch and it's 95

[@longshotmisfit5830]

That is the smoothest 95 I’ve ever seen.

[@sodium4759]

love seeing good pitchers who aren't super well known in these vids

[@DEValentine]

Speas has amazingly smooth mechanics. Really impressive.

[@JV-df9em]

This really showcases the science/mechanics behind the pitches, so cool to hear the chatter. Great channel!

[@ClutchShamrock6157]

Bro, he makes throwing 95 look effortless

[@thenext9537]

Man, that guy is quiet and effortless in his throwing like it’s super casual. Like he’s not even trying!

[@NotTodayBud]

He never misses upper back day.

[@CRS-fe2zj]

No wonder he throws 95 like it's nothing lol

[@alking6633]

Wow. I AM LOVING THIS 💯

[@sidanx7887]

This is great stuff - my boys are loving it

[@drewchan338]

Wicked repertoire. Good combos-mix.

[@bradydavis11]

Appreciate the video!

[@AZbone]

Dude in the back got the TJ rub going on

[@NicholleChristineEdwards]

Helluva relief ✌️⚾️

[@jordanortiz5721]

catcher has really good hands as well

[@aidan1426]

Most effortless 95 ever

[@Alexandertygreat]

Just effortless Heat

[@post-leftluddite]

omg he's just casually tossing 95 right away

[@davidrandall8201]

That man Turner is the GOAT

[@TL-hh7cc]

Yawns then proceeds to throw absolute cheddar 😅

[@oneyedgnarlyrob5611]

Sweet video. Just wondering if he is tipping off his pitches by showing the ball.

[@treadathletics]

He grips pretty much every pitch the same, so no. If he had a spiked grip, or a change-up, it may be a different story

[@gns4838]

When his front shoulder stays closed and his hand pump is on time, he’s money. Free and easy gas. When pitches back up consistently means his arm is a little late at front foot strike.

[@coleswilliams7232]

Elite supinator

[@RomancingTheData]

God supinator

[@noahlugobaseballandboxing7015]

He really does make it look easy especially for his size he looks like he only weighs like 185 to 190 lbs.

[@josueencarnacion267]

He is 6’3 225lbs…

[@zacknewton1064]

r we watching the same video? bro is big def over 200 tf?

[@califinn]

Gifted arm.

[@TheBigred2500]

Inside Baseball is a real thing

[@FERNANDBASS]

I need it

[@blackmantravel6954]

He casually throws 95 wow!

[@markdecarolis8714]

Reliever!??? Starting Pitcher!!! The Stuff is there!

[@TurnerFromTread]

👀👀👀

[@1176hambone]

He's showing his hand

[@reiseclark4908]

Almost the same grip for every pitch so that’s not a concern

[@Twheak]

Bros arm looks like a slingshot god damn lol

[@seabrook1976]

That's some easy cheese right there.

[@08C6PaceCar]

He yawned then threw 97

[@bsiffy]

**Yawns** then throws 96 lmao crazy

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

See these guys using every muscle they can but don’t realize you throw harder with less muscle involvement

[@Agua-hd4jh]

Only if you’re 6’10 💀

[@NotTodayBud]

Yep. Gotta stay relaxed. Just like world class sprinters when you see their lips/cheeks bouncing around all over the place. They're relaxed and not biting down.

[@Agua-hd4jh]

@@NotTodayBud Relaxed but with intent for sure, it's like you gotta really try to throw hard but you do it by throwing hard and not by flexing the muscles

[@tjk9263]

MLB pitchers who could throw serious heat had legs like a horse cause throwing hard is all about creating momentum with leg drive

[@FLOWmyGOD]

first

[@illwillrocket]

Nice back drop for the pitcher… wtf

[@joelgonzalez967]

Need to throw more fastballs. If you got 100 use it! Too many cutters on the last outing.

[@treadathletics]

Just because you throw 100, doesn't mean that your fastball is your best pitch.

[@joelgonzalez967]

Maybe it's not his best pitch, but what i'm saying is he should mix it up. If I remember correctly, Bochey said he had to work on fastball command. In other words needs to throw more of those in order to hone in that control. K bye forever@@treadathletics

[@codygurnick6405]

*yawn* easy 96.2

[@reiseclark4908]

Catcher is gross

[@TheSavatom]

That's what we call easy gas.
