Most of the training we do for arm speed now is not done for strength. It's done for the nervous system to understand it can make itself go faster. And you know what the term myelinization means?

You have this bank of nerves that you're going to perform something a certain way. And when you're doing it over and over, Your brain's not stupid. It's not going to waste time going to 80% of the stuff that doesn't contribute. It's going to go to the things that myelinate 100 mile an hour fastball.

So these kids are reaching a point now where their arms, their central nervous system, and their ambient nervous system has been trained that 100 miles is possible.

And when you wrap that, it's a fatty tissue substance, when you wrap it with myelin, then when it gets to the nervous system that it's time to throw, that nervous system can go faster than if you spread it out over six or seven different spaces.

You still have to pitch. Let me throw something out you can laugh at over the next few years. We know the human arm can go 118 miles an hour. I've done it a bunch of times with pitchers. Can they do it for a game, a season, an inning, whatever? Haven't figured out how yet.

Maybe not an everyday picture, but it's possible. I mean, everything I'm looking at research-wise says it's possible. The mechanics of Randy Johnson, the 105 guy from Cuba. Aroldis Chapman? Aroldis Chapman. And we looked at all those hard throwers. And if you mixed and matched all of them, then you'd have the guy that's throwing 118 today. But steroids, everybody beats up.
