Thats an amazing call by the 1B ump on that nimmo grounder. Literally millimeters and he nailed it in real time.

[@g.w.7893]

This ⬆️

[@Frosty_tha_Snowman]

Ehh - there's a 50/50 chance 😂

[@64chess]

50/50 chance sure, but also even millimeters that close you can hear the sound before the foot is seen touching if that’s what you’re trained and work hard for. Ump showed no doubt as he knew he made the right call. Still immensely impressive. Probably actually works hard at being a good ump unlike some of these guys.

first pitch is an offspeed at 96 💀

[@cypruslavigne7419]

That was a sinker, not off-speed :p Although it kind of serves the same function I guess when we're talking 6-8mph slower than your 4-seamer.

[@97Retrogamenerd]

@@cypruslavigne7419 sorry but i consider 8 MPH speed difference an off speed. if you throw 90, and your changeup is 82, that's off speed

[@calebrice5707]

​@cypruslavigne7419 some sinkers can reach 99mph

[@AD-df5tm]

​​@@97Retrogamenerdi mean, by that definition everything other than a fastball is offspeed lol. Generally speaking "off speed" means a change up of some kind. Nobody actually considers a 2 seamer/sinker an off speed pitch even if it technically is slower than their 4 seamer You have fastballs (4 seam, 2 seam/sinker, cutter, splitter) breaking balls (curve, slider, forkball screwball etc) and offspeed (the various different change ups. Circle, vulcan, split change, straight change etc)

[@97Retrogamenerd]

@@AD-df5tm curveballs, sliders are all off speed. In a bullpen, if a catcher asks for your off speed, they ask for your pitches other than fastball

[@RandallBalls]

Last pitch was classic " give him the heater Ricky"

[@westofwilliams]

I really like his pitching style. Just cause he can throw 104 doesn’t mean he feels the need to do try that with every fastball.

[@CosmicStar3]

I mean every fastball he throws is still heat

[@KingZoa]

I think it’s to preserve his arm too, always throwing full speed will overtime kill that arm of his

[@KingZoa]

@@fr2ncm9 I understand where you’re coming from, but honestly Joyce’s genetics (6’5 225lbs) and his windup both actually help his arm generate velocity while maintaining strain on that elbow, his compact delivery helps with his elbow not having to extend so far out to throw his pitch. He’s a giant of a guy too ngl met him in person at the stadium last year with hands as big as a bear

[@NL_4L]

2:42 the umpire was so excited to make that call 😂 even did a staredown at the end

Incredible highlight obviously 105 on the last pitch 👀🔥🔥🔥incredible but that Neto play also 🤯 I mean a millisecond smh wow

[@tommyriam8320]

100 mph Velocity, today, is being measured at a distance far closer to point of release rather than upon its nearer approach to crossing the plate as was the case _'back in the day'_ Nolan Ryan 100+ mph utilizing the "old" tech measuring velocity of pitch after the ball had travelled a greater distance than these current pitches under Bob Feller 98mph employing relatively ancient equip that also only captured speeds after the ball had passed through quite a bit of resistance

[@sntslilhlpr6601]

I saw the last pitch highlight when it happened, but coming back here to watch the full inning was such a joy. That was one of the most incredible bare-handed plays I have ever seen. He didn't just barehand it, he caught it with two fingers right in the throwing position. Man, these top athletes are getting absolutely insane. This olympics has been nuts so far and it is so fun to see.
