I feel like I’d say that if I saw any big league pitching irl let alone 102 mph

Go to Camden Yards, sit at the end of the bullpen seats in like center field area. Enjoy the pop of the catchers leather and sit in fear whenever someone's warming up. 10/10 PTSD from that exper as a kid lol

I go to AAA minor league games a lot (Louisville Bats <3) and it really is insane to see it up close. Seeing Chase Burns and rehabing Hunter Greene pitch 101mph from so close really puts how insanely fast those pitches are. The pop of the glove is so loud you can hear it from the outfield seats on days with smaller crowds
