Pitching velo

I have never heard this. Where did you read this and who did the studies?

I didnt realize we needed peer reviewed research from a top academic journal to comment on DFP. Elite softball, hands up and in. Elite baseball... Sometimes but often more dip and power.

Never mind. You posted something I had never heard or read before. I like to learn stuff. Sorry for asking

Yeah, elite baseball swings, such as Mike Trout, measure near or above 100 MPH, and that's with a 34-31 bat. You won't find a female on this planet with a swing speed close to that.

Elite pitchers have all speed, spin and control. It is a very small group that are elite at all 3. Pitchers need to work on all 3. But if they have maxed out in one area they should work hard on another. You have to work with the tools you have been given.

The phrase “maxed out” is always interesting to me. How does one know when someone’s actually maxed out?

Have seen these charts before and think they are extremely flawed. They use the term reaction time for a reason because it is still very different hitting a softball at 65 and a baseball at 94. Why? Leaving aside the bigger yellow ball, home plate and the hitting zone are the same size in both baseball and softball. Let's say there is an 18 inch zone in which you can make solid contact, In one scenario the ball moves through that zone at 94 mph and in the other it moves through that zone at 65 that's a whole different animal so the time you have to decide to swing may be similar but the speed at which your bat needs to get into the zone is much different.

You would need to account for the difference in barrel size too.

The charts say reaction time, not “equivalent hitting difficulty”..good grief people.

Probably never truly maxed out in those three areas. But I would more consider it when you are having negligible gains even with a lot of work. Only so much time so I would focus on the areas where you can improve the most.

Exactly. Montana Fouts is far from perfect in form but when you throw high 60's to 70's the focus hasn't been on gaining another 1-3 mph.
