Today..
I know the velo shouldn't be too great. (Though they gave Glavine a 96mph fastball lol). But his control will be maxed out! I'm excited to try this card
Maddux threw 96 and was considered a power pitcher with the cubs. He also ran it up there with the braves but threw the 2 seamer at around 92 which was his primary fastball because he became a pitch to contact pitcher. Maddux threw a lot harder than most think he did as did glavine who threw it up to 96 when he had to. They just didn't have to because of movement. Velocity was also measured different back then.
Maddux never hit 96.. ever.. he ran it up to 93 in his younger days at the peak, but usually sat around 89-90 with 2 seamers, his primary pitch.
I'm from back then, followed his entire career too. There aren't many pitchers I know more about than him. Have his signed jersey in my son Maddux's room too
Dude yes he hit 96 and would have it hit it regularly if they used the radar like they do now. I watched him live and in 1989 he was a pure power pitcher. He threw 92 to 96 and threw the slider/ change up. He didn't really throw the two seamer like he did in 91 to the end of his career. The fast ball still moved but not as much...

This. Maddux threw gas for the Cubs but didn't have the control. With his control later on, it didn't help that he got some inches on both sides of the plate. Hitting and pitching superstars did. Don't know the exact mph but he threw harder for the Cubs early in his career than with the Braves.
Ya 93 tops. 88-89 later, and down to 86 at the end.
You can literally Google it if you don't believe me lolAnd btw, 93 was considered heat in the 80's and early 90's
Oh, I know. Faced Percival in the minors when he was first starting to pitch. Hardest thrower I ever faced. He was hitting 95 on our gun which people thought was a few mph slower than other guns. I did face one lefty that threw as hard as Percival. No idea who he was. Percival was transitioning from C to RP.

You guys do realize the devs in this game didnt even give him a 2 seamer right? At least not the card I got. Ridiculous, when you watched his whole career and know that was his nastiest pitch.

This is last years game they are talking about.
and no they never have given him a 2S FB it always has been a sinker cause the SNK has always been op and the 2S has always needed fixing. -
I can’t see it being any better than his current 96 card.

Yeah I'm on vacation so it was extra annoying/confusing to see these old posts from 1 or 2 years ago being replied to.
I thought I had missed all this big news in just 1 day away from The Show!

People keep resurrecting these old threads lately. Nothing better to do I guess.
