Wonder if Milton could throw a baseball…

[Orange-heart]

Since Joe Milton either throws a Hail Mary or fastball with a football, Vitello should put a radar gun on him throwing a baseball. I’ve never seen anything like how far he can throw a football. When my son was a pitcher, the coach would often have him throw a football to increase velocity.

"just a bit outside"

It's an interesting idea.

My guess would be, he doesn't have nearly the accuracy a pitcher requires.

As for how far he throws the football, I remember when Michael Vick was still in college, they filmed him throwing the ball 70 yards...kneeling.

Joe Milton reminds me of Vick in arm strength. Though not in other ways.

He would kill every batter and or we would run out of catchers.

my question is, do they make a glove capable of being able to catch it if he did throw it?

They make a glove that caught Ben Joyce's 105 mph heater

Throwing a baseball 300 ft is equivalent to about an 80 mph fastball. A baseball weighs 9 oz and football almost a pound. He could probably throw a baseball 100 mph, but he doesn't know where it's going. The throwing motion for QB's rarely translates to pitching for some reason. Elway was an outfielder. Brady was a catcher. Helton and Marino were pitchers too, but primarily position players. Kenny Stabler was actually drafted 3 years in a row by MLB teams as a left handed pitcher. The Astros picked him in the first round in 68 but offered less money than the Raiders.

If he was anything, seems like he'd be a closer. Rocket arm but not a ton of control, basically be a guy to come in and blow it past 3 batters to win the game.

“Walked 18… new league record. Also struck out 18, a new league record. In addition he hit a sportswriter, the PA announcer and the Bull mascot twice”.

Wild thang

His mechanics coach is obviously uncle Rico. That dude could through it over a mountain.

 

[VolBricks]

of course he can throw a baseball, what kind of question is that?

 

[sonofUT62]

I’ll be honest. I wouldn’t stand close enough to the plate to swing. It would either be a walk or caught looking.

That would depend on how quickly that baseball travelled 300 feet and how flat the arc of that throw was. To this day, I have never seen an outfielder with an arm the equal of Roberto Clemente's.

Chances are he was a two or three sport athlete growing up.
I imagine he could spin the horsehide pretty good.

In the 70s there was a frisbee game called "Guts" as I recall where you threw the thing at your opponent as hard as you could from about 20yds or something. Milton would be breaking hands when people tried to catch his throws.

While maybe not pitchers, playing baseball has worked well for several recent QBs like Kyler Murray, Mahomes, and Josh Dobbs.

throwing and pitching are not the same.

He may have the arm to throw in the 90s but I doubt he has the mechanics to throw 100. Especially being 6’5. That’s A lot of **** to have to tuck in.

I'm sure Milton could throw a baseball but there's no one on the moon to catch it.
