ESPN says it was clocked at 87 MPH

Probably not in the strike zone.

 

Gee, ya think?

 

How fast do you think Russell Wilson can throw a fastball?

 

...not 98 mph! --> http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...pancy-regarding-speed-of-wilsons-first-pitch/

 

I don't remember where I read it, but supposedly Kap could throw a 92 mph fastball in high school. Pretty impressive.

 

You likely didn't read it. It was said by the announcer right on the video of him throwing the fist pitch. Now where he got that tidbit from (or if it is even legit) is another story.

 

Not sure. It would be in the strike zone though..

 

Giants could prolly use him this year

And tlong, you are such a hater

 

...some of the best strikeouts are from pitches out of the strike zone

 

FIFY. That can apply to sales, as well.

 

No it wouldn't. It'd bounce before the plate.

Don't hate. Dude was probably a better baseball player, at least through HS, than a football player.

 

For somebody like myself who hates everything about baseball and doesn't follow it, is this good or bad that he threw it 87 and why is this thread worthy?

Because many Major League pitchers top out at 91-92, and Kaepernick went out in blue jeans, sneakers, and threw one pitch 87. It's impressive for a guy to throw a first pitch that hard. He probably could have been a great MLB pitcher with that arm.

 

threw 2 no hitters his senior year in hs, era under 2, with more than a strikeout an inning

 

Damn! That is impressive. Our next Bo/Dion?

I've coached 15 year olds who could throw 87.

 

Roger Clemens could throw 118 MPH fastball.

 

any of them get drafted?
