I :heart: Zumaya..

The difference between Zumaya and Farnsworth is that Zumaya gets people out.

Go Tigers!

 

[computeerrgghh]

Farnsworth's slider is in the low 90s but that is pretty sick.

101! yikes! i hope the tigers hang on for the win because i have rogers in my fantasy baseball league and ive been in a little bit of a win drought lately.

 

[Rubycon]

[dug777]

[SP33Demon]

Yeah he hit 103 on the Comerica gun on Aug 7th, I think that was a new record or something...

 

[TraumaRN]

Ha 8 pitches over 100MPH in a row before he threw a breaking ball at 85mph then next pitch was 101

The Guinness Book of World Record states that the fastest pitch ever recorded was 100.9 MPH by Nolan Ryan.

Ryan once threw 230+ pitches in an extra inning game.

BTW-Zumaya hit 104 out west once this year.

There's this pitcher for the Lions that pitched 9 straight 102MPH fastballs (and the rest never dipped below 97) when I was at a game between Pittsburgh and Detroit. I wish I remembered his name but everyone gave him a standing O when he was taken out.

Lions? Are you lost in the football world or something?
