That’s the problem with all these guys that throw 100 plus consistently. They tend not to learn how to pitch and they tend to blow out their arms and not have much success when they can only throw 95.

I have heard that before but I am skeptical. Nolan could throw some heat and was an incredible pitcher for 2 decades but there is so much science that goes into velocity and spin. Teams have pitching labs where they hook these guys up to sensors and interpret the data to optimize what they can do. We are talking about the edge of what the human body can physically do. It has been argued that the physical limit for a human arm is 110mph. It’s hard to imagine Nolan almost maxed that out without all the science and data these guys have access to now but who knows.
