He is up there but Tennessee has a pitcher who hits 103 pretty consistently.Unbelievable. Where does this rank in college baseball best mph?
Straight as an arrow though . Brecht ftwHe is up there but Tennessee has a pitcher who hits 103 pretty consistently.
my fears exactly. (they say that great minds think alike)I hope he doesn't just focus on baseball. I think Brody can also stretch the field. He's a huge target with a large catching zone and good speed.
But he might have major league $$$ in his near future so I fear disappointment for the football team.
Anything is possible, but if he wanted to look exclusively at baseball, he probably would have gone in the MLB draft last summer.my fears exactly. (they say that great minds think alike)
Well According to SI he ran a 4.45 40! He is tall 6'4. I hope he can be a game changer at that position. He definitely has the physical skill set to be that guy! So why not! GO HAWKS!I hope and pray that I am wrong on this prediction, but in all honesty I just do not see this guy contributing in a big way to the Iowa football team. I would LOVE for him to be our version of Bo Jackson, but I just do not see it. I feel that that are too many millions to be made pitching. He is probably the next version of Randy Johnson, "The Big Unit," than Bo Jackson.
I have often fantasized on what it must be like to have a dual identity. Of course, I am just stock with my own simple self for eternity, I guess, but Brody Brecht might be one of those rare individuals who live the dream.I demand to see some Brody PT this fall at 'X' WR!
Where do you think he's going? He's not draft eligible again until 2024.101mph but no control doesnt matter. The games he has pitched thus far, he needs to stay in college and get coached.
He'll be fine. I'd expect a tremendous leap come next year.101mph but no control doesnt matter. The games he has pitched thus far, he needs to stay in college and get coached.
He was facing high schoolers he could put it on a Tee for most of them and record outs. If he does that now he will get smoked. He’s starting to learn now how to be a pitcher and not a thrower.how was his control in high school? I thought he was lights out?
guessing he will be fine after being in the program a little longer, from what I hear, had some control issues in HS, high pitch counts a lot, he is really raw and did not get much coaching in HS, just threw a lot harder than anyone elsehow was his control in high school? I thought he was lights out?
None of that is true, but I’m sure your next 3 posts will separate yourself from the troll pack.guessing he will be fine after being in the program a little longer, from what I hear, had some control issues in HS, high pitch counts a lot, he is really raw and did not get much coaching in HS, just threw a lot harder than anyone else
yes, I am old enough to remember Nolan Ryan. Doubt anybody here is old enough to remember Bob Feller, but did they ever figure out how fast he threw? don't think they had the technology to measure it back then, but heard there was supposedly some crude test done that showed 100 mph.It took Nolan Ryan a few years to learn how to be a pitcher. But I think he hit mid-upper 100s often, but my memory may be off
not troll at all, actually a fan and excited to see CIML kids do well, watched him play a handful of times as a nephews team competed against them in high school. Most of those comments are true; he threw harder than anyone, he had some high pitch counts, and raw meaning he didn't do a lot of "extra" seasons due to being a multi sport athleteNone of that is true, but I’m sure your next 3 posts will separate yourself from the troll pack.
Science!yes, I am old enough to remember Nolan Ryan. Doubt anybody here is old enough to remember Bob Feller, but did they ever figure out how fast he threw? don't think they had the technology to measure it back then, but heard there was supposedly some crude test done that showed 100 mph.
Watch the documentary “Fastball”, it’s really good.yes, I am old enough to remember Nolan Ryan. Doubt anybody here is old enough to remember Bob Feller, but did they ever figure out how fast he threw? don't think they had the technology to measure it back then, but heard there was supposedly some crude test done that showed 100 mph.
Today’s pitching training is fascinating. My HS senior is a pitcher and I’ve learned a ton seeing all the philosophies out there. My kid isn’t going on to major college or pro ball (largely average HS velo with a good change up), but he has a teammate who committed to NC State as a soph and was up around 90 when he shattered his upper arm doing pull-downs. He went through a ton of rehab and was cleared to throw and then he wound up breaking that same arm again throwing a bullpen. He’s now cleared to throw again and is going to take the plunge again. I love baseball, but I don’t think I could do that again, not after 2 breaks.They do measure out of the hand vs. how they did it years back. I think it is 4-6 mph difference. Either way it is some serious gas. Whats crazy is how many young guys throw so hard due to training and top notch coaching. The problem is throwing that hard makes it very easy to injure you arm, shoulder, elbow. I do hope he gets a chance to toss a couple on the end around called by the QB coach. Looking forward to seeing him pitch and on fall Saturdays.
HS ump vs D1 ump, MUCH tighter frame.how was his control in high school? I thought he was lights out?
I think Feller was from Vinton or somewhere in that area?yes, I am old enough to remember Nolan Ryan. Doubt anybody here is old enough to remember Bob Feller, but did they ever figure out how fast he threw? don't think they had the technology to measure it back then, but heard there was supposedly some crude test done that showed 100 mph.
Your giving college umpires way to much credit.HS ump vs D1 ump, MUCH tighter frame.
The Heater from Van Meter.I think Feller was from Vinton or somewhere in that area?
My grandfather played against him in HS. He was something like 0-4 or 0-5 against Feller, but he was very proud of the fact that Feller never struck him out.Yep, that's right.
This shows how much the athleticism has changed. Nolan's fastest pitch ever.yes, I am old enough to remember Nolan Ryan. Doubt anybody here is old enough to remember Bob Feller, but did they ever figure out how fast he threw? don't think they had the technology to measure it back then, but heard there was supposedly some crude test done that showed 100 mph.
The catcher on his American Legion team was named Nile Kinnick.The Heater from Van Meter.
Robin Lund, Iowa's pitching coach, was interviewed on Monday on Harty's radio show/podcast, Hawk Fanatic. It's near the beginning and I would recommend listening. They talked about Morgan and Brecht and that they aren't pitching much now. My best effort at summarizing:guessing he will be fine after being in the program a little longer, from what I hear, had some control issues in HS, high pitch counts a lot, he is really raw and did not get much coaching in HS, just threw a lot harder than anyone else
Ha, possibly. But he is not overly accurate, still needs another 2yrs to develop that and retain velocity.Your giving college umpires way to much credit.
