In Memory Of
All of this happened because Justin Verlander got mad.
This guy says this one inning back in 2012 by Justin Verlander in a nothing game might just be the greatest inning ever pitched.
3 up, 3 down...many have done that.
Some with just 3 pitches, some with 9 total pitches, Verlander took 11 but it is what happened during those pitches that really mattered.
This inning was examined closely using analytics and metrics and if you understand what this guy is trying to say I think he may be correct.
He states what Verlander actually did was impossible, or was up until the time he did it.
He hit 102 MPH on pitch 116!
Tons of great pitchers over the years from way early like Satchel Paige up through modern times but getting measurements this accurate about ball movements has never really been possible until recent times.
It is not only how accurately he threw the ball but the spin rate and velocity is pretty otherworldly especially when you consider how late in the game this happened and how many pitches he threw in this game already for 7 innings.
The vid guy says he believes the only other person that could have done the impossible, or near impossible, things Verlander did the way he did it might be Nolan Ryan, maybe...but no way to ever tell because none of this stuff was measured like this back in his time.
Just interesting stuff, I think.
