What A 106 MPH Fastball Really Looks Like
Aroldis Chapman didn't hit 106 mph last night. Sure, the stadium radar gun registered 106. But home readings are always juiced. The objective Pitch F/X system clocked that throw at 102. Still impressive, but not a record.
So Deadspin's crack video science team took the case. In order to show what 106 miles per hour really looks like, based on 102, we speeded up the video the appropriate amount: 3.92156862745 percent. (Due to iMovie's limitations, actually just 3.9 percent.) Enjoy.
