Wonder if Milton could throw a baseball…

We gonna need a bigger stadium

I want to see OJ fire up Smokey one time.

Didnt they fix Wild Thing with some glasses? Could it be that simple...Meh..probably not

One of the strongest arms was Jamarcus Russell. Nick Saban one time confirmed he saw Russell throw the 70 yards from his knees. THen there's this unknown HS kid in the link. From his 17 to the opposing 9. 74 yards.

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

Ah yes, but you forget-Uncle Rico has the finest scientific mind in the world (same actor was also Lazlo from Weird Science). He has all that loot from the Frito-Lay sweepstakes to tide him over

Wild thang

I don't condone the Milton mocking here, but just for fun, you all are basically saying he's Beowulf.
His hand was too strong

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.

said it many times....

Milton's first pitch would be over the backstop into the street outside the park.

Apparently Joe Milton went to a site near Greece to have his throws evaluated. This was the analysis.

I hear ya on the mocking I'm pulling for Joe big time

I'd settle for him being able to throw a football accurately and consistently.

 

[cwbytruckers]

He would have to pitch from second base

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

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.

I saw Bernie Carbo throw a strike to Ted Simmons from right field near the track... on the fly.

 

[LittleVol]

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.

Yeah. I agree with that.
Vick could just flick his wrist and it would sail 60 yards downfield. Same with Milton.

Probably could throw it 100 yards...

Ball 8.

back in the 60's and 70's Eddie Feiner (?) had a 4 man Fastpitch softball team. They traveled the country putting on exhibitions. He struck out batters from 2nd base. They were called "the King and his Court".

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

Yeah, but Mach 3 is a whole different animal.

 

[Dudleys87]

I’d like to see him actually try and throw it and see what happens. It seems to be so effortless and it goes 70 yards.

Just imagine if he did a windup!

Would be a very interesting concept. I don't think his throwing the fastball would be an issue. Conceptually he might throw it over 100. Trying to teach him to hit the strike zone and mix in off speed and breaking balls - no bueno.
