The greatest optical illusion in baseball is the ability old guys have to delude themselves that 40 years ago they: threw just as hard in smaller bodies, threw twice as many innings, and got hurt way less.
Uphill both ways mentality that’s incredible to witness.
A Pitcher in 2025 hits 94 mph...
A Pitcher in 1992 hits 85 mph...
Because of how radar guns changed the finish line, both pitchers threw the exact speed.
It's one of the greatest optical illusions in sport.
