6'4 175 pounds, 86 mph fastball...

When I was younger and played baseball I threw a sinker ball (more of a drop ball) and a knuckle ball and no one ever seemed to have a problem with it. Then again I doubt I ever broke any higher then 70 MPH with my strongest throw in my life.

Then again I didn't pitch all that often. I usually played either SS or 2B.

You were like me. No one was worried about your arm because you never had one. :lol:

 

Seriously, you probably threw that sinker over the top, with which snapping your wrist would be a "natural" motion. The knuckler involves no wrist snap whatsoever, so that wouldn't hurt anyone's arm.

When I pitched I was only concerned about my pathetic fastball coming back to hit me in the head.

 

My dad joked that I was a decent pitcher because kids weren't use to seeing pitches as slow as mine. :lol:

Did you play high school ball?

Little off topic, but I just met a kid from Wabansie Valley who is a senior this year and gets it 94. It was cool meeting a kid that was going to get drafted.

yeah bowden...i'm friends with that kid...i remember freshman year he'd throw his fastball...then he'd come back with a knuckle ball...kids went nuts with that...he's also a damn good power hitter too...and 3b for that matter.
