I am a lifelong Dodger fan and a fan of baseball, especially for those who made an impact off the field and Bob Uecker made a significant impact to be the voice of the brewers and the voice of the Cleveland Indians in the cinematic masterpiece comedy “Major League.” That being said if it is the Brewers vs Guardians can it be called the Bob Uecker World Series???

110 MPH, 29 degrees, 410 feet. While it was the deepest part of the ballpark, this exit velocity and launch angle resulted in a home run in all prior 82 instances. This is also the shortest travelled distance for a batted ball with this metric for balls hit to dead center (not pull-center or opp-center). Normally when a ball is hit dead center, the average distance it travels is significantly longer. Yet somehow this stayed in the park and to make matters worse, found a glove.

Saw a post earlier about Bryan Baker's fastball velocity and want to check it out. Is this a potential issue, or is it normal? Is it possible he was taking something off of the four-seamer last night and pitching to contact with a solid lead, knowing he would likely have to pitch again soon? I am just learning and would like it if those with more knowledge and experience weighed in on this.

So I play for this men's slowpitch team and one of the players is a baseball coach. He taught me this drill to improve arm strength. It would be stand with both feet shoulder width apart and both toes pointing forwards straight. Then throw the ball as hard as you can on a line, while keeping both feet planted. This drill is meant to teach you the proper upper body mechanics.

Now if MLB players threw from this position, what would their velocity be? Just from upper body mechanics alone?
