Why isn't A-Rod getting more hits?
I'd have to say about 6. No one really has the control to be throwing that hard at this level. You rear back and throw it as hard as you can, and have no clue where it's going. I know for a fact that the Tigers had 2 pitchers that did it, other then that, tough to say.Who holds the College baseball record for steals in a season and for their career?
I don't know what you're thinking Marc, but acording to Baseball Info Solutions, who track pitch velocity for the last five years, Detroit Tigers pitcher Joel Zumaya alone threw 233 pitches that cracked the century mark. Any guesses why his nickname is "Zoom-Zoom"? Overall, there were 335 100MPH+ pitches thrown in the bigs last year. Here is the stats and leaders for the last five years.Season Number of Pitches 100+ MPH MLB Leader
MLB 2002 106 Billy Wagner - 42
MLB 2003 204 Billy Wagner - 159
MLB 2004 82 Kyle Farnsworth - 30
MLB 2005 134 Daniel Cabrera - 37
MLB 2006 335 Joel Zumaya - 233
As you can see, there are several players who are more than capable of 100MPH with decent control.
The guns are wrong and vary from stadium to stadium. During a cardinals game, the stadium gun said mid 90's but the speed on the Fox sports midwest telecast said 109-113 mph. Impossible. Nolan Ryan could bring it, and no one compares.
