Friday's Hot Clicks: Chloe Crawford; Trevor Bauer Hits 117 MPH On Radar Gun
Trevor Bauer has a cannon
Indians ace Trevor Bauer can throw a ball 117 miles per hour. Sure, he took a 10-step running start, jumped in the air, and used a tiny baseball, but it's still 117 miles per hour. The throw was part of Bauer's unorthodox offseason training regimen, which Lee Jenkins wrote about extensively in this 2011 profile. Now can we figure out how to make jump pitches with undersized baseballs a part of the game?
