Amazing arm. Kid makes it look so easy and simple. Hope he makes it to the show and stays healthy 🔥💯🙏

[@qbclay2]

went down a rabbit hole watching all these, this kid is def my favorite to watch. effortlessly throwing 97 is crazy

[@The_Zilli]

i love just how fast that video captures and is available to show both of you the mechanics that are going on. It also really changes how the game is taught and trained, very interesting.

[@fromthefuture9353]

Wish we had coaching like this back in the late 1950's...When I played we had one coach who knew very little about the game and, a twelve game season, By the end of my college career, 1958 our season was 18 games...

[@therealbs2000]

Tread blowing up so fast right now strap in boys

[@kellan9616]

@@ASchmidt-yw9tea sweeper is a slider variation. The difference between the two is that a curveball will generally have more depth than a slider and it will be thrown slower. A curveball has more elements of topsin compared to that of bullet/and or sidespin of a slider.

[@okolekahuna3862]

Love this! Makes me really appreciate the science of pitching.

[@steveryan7786]

I’m a Brit so no absolutely zero of what’s going on but is it hip rotation with the arm speed then all the finger manipulation, and how would a high level batter handle this stuff

[@dumpchangepants]

As a former AAA prospect Troy has amazing potential Coming outta the bullpen throwing 99 Can't wait to see his off speed selection

[@frankchong954]

Incredible seeing smaller guys like this generate such amazing power while making it look so effortless.

[@manager4409]

Says he's 6'2 that's plenty big enough. You can be 5'10 and throw that hard

[@piperin1620]

​@@manager4409Kelvin herrera is 5'10 and was able to throw even 103 mph, wich was unbelievable.

[@mattbrown570]

He's small?

[@adammckenzie6074]

Hes not small tho?

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

Small?? He’s 6’2. Only 2 percent of the humans on this earth are 6’2 or taller. Thats a fact. 6’2.5 is 1.5 percent of the population. Everyone case about height until they hear those stats

[@darrenmcollins]

AA last year at 26… hopefully this hard work translates to the field and he can make it.

[@Mega866]

Power is one thing, control is another.

[@powerage17]

[@m.o.5291]

Thread pumping out 100+ guys with optimized arsenals that fit them at factory speed. All of this stuff is changing the game. Big time

[@qwuzzy]

One of the best pens we've seen on here

[@AlphaAchilles]

That little glove flip he does cracks me up.

[@paperyagate3626]

He doesn't even look that big on camera; guy must make the most out of his build.

[@chubbymcphattz]

Billy Wagner-esque lol

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

6’2

[@strongdelusion9442]

Good luck this year Troy, stay healthy, get mean, don't let em dig in. They slap one to right, make em pay! Full swings or your on your back! Think Clemons, lol. You have the same stuff Roger had, only difference is he owned the outside of the plate and everyone knew it! ATTITUDE!

[@bustanutt3848]

this guys f*cking filty. if he figures out that change up sky’s the limit

[@brandon90888]

I like watching them place it while throwing a breaking ball. That'll eat em up⚾️

[@brendancoulson1322]

At foot strike my arm is up but at an angle above 90°(obtuse), how can I fix that so that I’m more at 90 at foot strike

[@deedubs602]

Amazing how far technology has come. To be able to capture all the mechanics after each pitch. Imagine 20 yrs from now!

[@derricktalbot8846]

MY GUY! watch Mussina come out of his throw... right into solid defensive positioning. Cant wait to see you in Toronto!

[@ultra_toxic3131]

🔥

[@tymesho]

Kudo's to that cat catching.

[@toptwitchclipz7928]

hope he makes it big, and I hope the money that comes along with getting big doesn't change him too much for the worse as it has with many baseball legends.

[@sebastienleblanc2708]

Manoah and Pearson have to step up their game!

[@user-ck7tl4me2j]

I would love to do this even though I'm no where near these guys level. Just too see my statistics on everything

[@durfeecoach1]

Think Greg Maddux said it when he took off some from his fastball it made all the difference in control. He could take just little off and still be mid 90s and get that good control.

[@greyhat835]

Shut up. Gotta throw 98 to command 98. Command is easy to train

[@poindextertunes]

@@greyhat835dumb comment

[@TruthHasSpoken]

And he said what made him successful was: location, movement, change of speeds, hitting (living on) corners, and changing approach to hitter on the 3rd time up,

[@cameronschmit6472]

These cameras are insane

gotta be smooth to transfer energy 🤷⚡️

Tear your shoulder up to get 1 mph more, he said.

[@jmedlin81]

some of the most beautiful form I've ever seen

[@user-cs3hi8zp7p]

[@marcprice8470]

I wonder how many pens that Catcher does in a day. If you are catching a lot then by all means get a knee down squatting three or four hundred times and you will know what I mean

[@youmang]

Whats crazy is there are major leaguers who will send that 600 ft. Who the EFF is teaching catchers to sit on one knee!

[@mikegarrett861]

Hope that shoulder holds up.....!

[@007Hutchings]

Hitters going to eat up that 3/4 arm slot

[@treadathletics]

🤔 He had a .240 batting average against with only 4 HRs allowed in 2023

yeah the rando on youtube knows more about the game than a company training athletes for a profit 🙄

It in the upper left corner. Troy Watson

Also in the description!

[@pumpbustersv1]

Can you have him break a little bit of a sweat or something next time he does this? He makes this look so easy I'm feelin bad about myself over here!

[@michaelbedard7859]

Special arm makes it look so easy. Nothing waisted.

[@fobo8027]

Why do pitchers always do that motion behind their head before throwing.

[@treadathletics]

Rhythm and timing.

[@fobo8027]

@@treadathletics thank you

[@tmiller1001]

98 is like Greg Maddux type fastball now and days.

[@thequixoticangler3364]

Man. At that size I'm actually a little worried for him. Remember Lincecum? He fell off because of the stress on his bones because of the frame he had. The motion bugs me too. Thats a lot of torque on the elbiw. I bet he can hit 101. He's not even throwing it full cap. You guys are about to go off, huh? Your output over the last 2 years is staggering. You'll have the 1 overall by 2030. I used to catch a flamethrower and a wizard. Id be afraid to catch your content interen if hes pumping. Thes kids are not human.

[@jasonabernethy8424]

Why didn't coach like the 2 seamer? The horizontal movement on that pitch was scary! Locate that 2 seamer and he could saw more bats off than M Rivera!

I did not see any rise balls, I have been watching softball players throw rise balls for 30 years.
