This needs to become his actual nickname
He'd be no Sidd Finch
Yo this is some wild pseudo science, I want to believe but I don’t think I can until someone convinces Wemby he could be a two sport athlete if he learns how to throw a baseball
Man hasn't played a regular season basketball game and already is the greatest mlb pitcher of all time.
To be fair, you could throw a baseball at 150 mph and it wouldn’t matter if it wasn’t pinpoint accurate, even 2-3 degrees to either side is so inaccurate it wouldn’t reach the catcher and it’d likely be a base hit
I don’t think batters are getting an easy hit just because the 150mph fastball is a little in.
That’s not what I was saying. I’m saying by the time it gets to the mound it’ll be like ten feet away from them.
So not a base hit.
Yeah but wemby's arms make it halfway to the plate already
Is it legal for the pitcher to just hand the back catcher the ball?
Your body can’t create that much torque ever. Op gotta be a troll post
Nah, 150 was an arbitrary number/exaggeration. More saying “it can be as fast as possible, it doesn’t matter if it’s several yards away from the plate.”
lol better than MJ already
I'm pretty sure someone computed at one point that after around 108 mph ligaments would just snap.
107 MPH curveballs
Checkmate computers
Looked for this but couldn’t find the source - got one?
With his wingspan he would need to be careful his hands don't get hit by the bat as he drops the ball into the catcher's glove.
Mans dunking a fastball.
he could vaporize a pelican
So he's Zeke in Attack On Titan
Exactly what I was thinking
Perfecto Gamo
I’ll just say that caveat is doing a lot of work there. It’s basically applying a linear increase to something that has a lot of nonlinear factors
Tbf the limitations on the average persons body are not the same as the limitations on wembys body. Obviously his body is completely different than anyone else on the planet
Halfway through that pitch his body is going to be like "wtf are we doing? we haven't worked up to this." and he's going to tear something.
Man used chatGPT as a source
That’s almost an average ace serve in tennis
Has Wemby ever heard of fucking nail clippers?? Ugh gross.
Cocaine is a helluva drug. How do you think he stays so thin?
Ayo for yayyyooooo
Wemby needs to cut his nails damn
Most super tall pitchers don't throw that hard. It's harder to throw max effort with command when your levers are that long.
Any Randy Johnson enjoyers?
I tapped out as soon as I saw OP used chatGPT as a source. Plus his conceited “better than you” attitude is completely unfounded in sports science. Dude is an absolute fraud and this post is embarrassing
Wemby already the best two sport athlete of all time… maybe three sports if we include soccer/football.
Thats despite playing 0 nba games
I think there was a sports science on this and I’m prettt sure the theoretical max was like 108 I believe. Aroldis Chapman peaked at 105 mph (maybe 106? Probably not)
