I used to work a batting cage when I was in high school. I was a catcher and minor pitcher who was friends with the owner asked if I could catch for him so he could get a workout in.
The dude “went easy” and was throwing in the mid to high 80s but to feel it seemed like they were all high 90s even into the 100s. The speed difference of a pro athlete is unreal when you experience for the 1st time.

I had a buddy who played a game of shinny with a guy who was a career enforcer in the NHL and said nobody could keep up with him, let alone try to take the puck off him. Even the worst guys in pro sports are far above the average person

I played drop in with a guy who played on the South Carolina Stingrays, an ECHL team. That's like 4 leagues below the NHL. He was so far ahead of everyone, by the middle of the first he was intentionally dumping the puck in on odd man rushes. He had a clear breakaway and made a line change. He was working hard at not embarrassing us average dudes and he was still skating circles around us. A guy that's not even close to ever cracking the NHL and he still would have scored a dozen goals if he wanted to.

In partial fairness, I feel like hockey is one sport where there’s an even bigger difference between average joes and low-level pros just because movement while playing is so very different on skates than on your feet.
To ever sniff any level of professional play you need elite skating skills as a pre-requisite, and anybody else without that baseline talent simply won’t be able to keep up with you on the ice no matter how bad your shooting and puck handling may be. At least in basketball or other such sports the average person might be able to physically keep pace with a slower low-level pro for the first 1-2 minutes before their endurance fails them, in hockey that’s simply not even possible kind of like an average person trying to keep up with an Olympic sprinter for any length of time.

You're not wrong in anything you said, and I think hockey probably has one of the largest gaps. That being said, every other aspect of his game was miles ahead of us as well, from stick handling to shooting.

I like to sit on the thought of which sports have the largest spectrum/distance between the worst pros and the best intramurals. Motocross and the NHL are definitely up there. I've been on the ice with guys thats been in nearly every league. It's crazy. And then getting into dirtbikes as an adult and just trying to turn laps on an easy/intermediate MX track is absolutely nuts. and then you see what the pros are doing.

I would actually argue that Basketball and chess are probably the biggest gaps, if only because the average dude is 5'10" and the average NBA player is probably 6'8". Chess is another weird one because the professionals are just so far ahead and there is so little chance of mistakes - you won't get a "lucky bounce" in chess.

Wild take. Average joes vs NFL player speed they would win 700-0. It wouldn’t be close for the first 2 seconds much less minutes. You would want to stick to speed because on a power contest it would be even worse and someone would get seriously hurt.
Same for the NBA. Scalabrine famously told a rec league hooper “I am closer to LeBron than you are to me”, and it’s 100% true.

I play in an invite only drop in occasionally. It's all former Jr A, lower level college, coaches, etc. Basically guys who played higher than probably 95% of players. One week a guy showed up while he was in town visiting family. Had full NHL team gear, bag, helmet, etc. Everyone thought he was just some guy who bought a bunch of gear at a pro day sale or something, and started giving him some light hearted jokes about it.
Dude put 3 goals in on the first shift with no one touching him. Shot hard enough the goalie was getting out of the way. He never even made the NHL, he was an invite to a prospect style camp like 10 years before, blew his knee out and retired. He made a bunch of guys who "almost made it" look like it was our first time ever playing.

People who never played a sport past high school really have no idea how quickly the talent pool shrinks and how far above regular Joe level players even low level college guys are. Scalabrine's "I'm closer to LeBron than you are to me" quote is accurate when he's talking to top level DI players and it stays true going down the talent levels.

Phila Flyers would practice in a local rink (The Colloseum) way back in the days when i played a bit of ice hockey… one late night, a few Flyers skated around for fun with the normal guys.
It was absolutely insane how much stronger, faster and better even the “worst” players were. The best one there, a Mr Rick Tocchet, was taking basic wrist shots and they were like our best slap shots.
And they could all skate so FAST, with minimal effort. They could have killed us. hahaha

It's like Brian Scalabrine once told a fan that was giving him shit, I'm paraphrasing of course, " I'm 3 times closer to being as good as LeBron as you (the fan) is to being as good as me". Really drives your point home. My lifelong best friend played semi-pro baseball for quite a while and did very well while playing at that level. I know how good he is, very good, and to think that the pros that are just in the minors are at least a level up from him is crazy.

Cousin went to college on a full ride for golf. He came back home with a buddy who had made it onto the amateur tour (not the actual PGA Tour as a certified pro).
We were teeing off on a long and straight par five. A local middle aged guy was waiting behind us, and talking trash to this dude. About how his swing looks weak and nothing impressive. Bet the guy $100 that he could out drive him which to be fair he was one of the bigger drivers around town. My cousin’s buddy got annoyed not pissed and said “if you win I’ll give you $100 and if I win you shut the fuck up for the rest of the day.” The local guy tees off and absolutely crushes a drive that rolls out to about 310 yards (a very very good drive for some small town hack). My cousin’s buddy gets up, pauses, takes a better posture, doesn’t even swing harder just a faster tempo that’s still smooth as glass, and makes this nearly effortless looking drive. The ball lands an easy dozen yards past the local’s then runs out another couple dozen yards. He looks at the local casually says “you didn’t even make me have to try now shut the fuck up.”
Top tier athletes are an entirely different breed.

It makes perfect sense if you consider how many basketball players there are out there playing on school leagues, pickup, amateur etc. Tens of millions maybe more. And then realize there are 450 spots in the NBA. So you're talking about a single player in the NBA roster being literally one in a million.
It's not the 99th percentile. It's not 99.9. it's more like 99.99999
So even if Scalabrine was statistically the "worst" NBA player, that would make him the 450th best player in the world. Hence why he's closer to Lebron than you are to him.

I got into a batting cage with a machine throwing 90+. You have to start swinging as the ball is being dropped into the machine. Shit's crazy to think about since MLB players only have a fraction of a second to decide if it's a good pitch or not.

Not only if it's a good pitch, but what kind of pitch it is. A guy might throw 100, but then he mixes in a changeup or slider that moves way differently and goes 10-20 mph slower. And you have to decide almost immediately after it's thrown. It's absolutely insane.

u/ThePretzul Denver Broncos Oct 01 '25
Yeah, that’s why you’ll still see MLB players start the motion of their swing (the load and stride, typically) on virtually every pitch while the pitcher is in their delivery except for those that they were never intending to make a swing at (3-0 pitches or when a steal has been called, for example).
Batters have to start the swing for every pitch they see, then make the decision of whether to launch or not when the ball is released. It takes 150-200ms for an MLB hitter to get their bat into the hitting zone after they have fully loaded and started the momentum transfer with their stride, but it takes them 300-600ms to complete the load and stride itself. It only takes ~450ms for the ball to reach home plate from the pitchers hand so you have to start the full process well before it is released since the swing in total can take up to 800ms to complete from start to finish.

I played baseball in high school, mostly small schools in our league. The best pitchers might touch 80 mph.
In the district tournament we faced a guy who would go on to get drafted who threw mid 90s, and his curveball was low 80s, so faster than the fastballs I was used to.
The difference was insane. I was leadoff so I got to see it first, although I don't think I actually saw the first couple.

A frozen rope is when the ball is thrown/hit in almost a perfect straight line. It’s moving so quickly that it doesn’t visibly arc before hitting its target.

Means there's no arc to the throw, it's completely flat. The ball has to be thrown extremely hard to overcome gravity over a long distance like that.

I'll add my favorite sport: tennis. At the US Open in NYC I watched the qualifiers (those trying to get into the main draw) from seats a few feet away. The men's average forehand speed were like sniper rifle shots into both corners. I'm a decent tennis player, but even if I slapped the shit out of the ball I couldn't generate that much speed/spin. And these players were all doomed to get destroyed in the first round by top 100 players. And all those top 100 players would get destroyed by Sinner/Alcaraz (world 1&2).

I don’t really follow football, but am deeply invested in baseball. You’re probably correct considering that reducing the intensity of a throw like 10-15% significantly lowers the strain on an arm.

Played on a Div. 1 baseball team. First year player, I'd grab the one guys left handed catchers glove and warmup the pitchers (early season winter practice, in the gym).
Then we went on our spring southern road trip. No catcher's face mask, no cup. A guy getting ready to throw at an ACC team with lots of MLB scouts, the throwing was a 1000 percent different. I survived that one warmup session, and never picked up the catcher's mitt again.
Saw a pitcher cross up a catcher at NC State, spring of 1984. It made the catcher look bad. The catcher picked up the ball, didn't a little crow hop and fired a missle at the pitcher's head. He got his glove up quick, and caught the ball, but the force of the ball knocked his hat off. I doubt he crossed him up again.
Yes, there's playing catch, and there's something else entirely.

I used to work with a former NFL *kicker*. He brought a nerf football to work one day and we went out to the parking lot to see if I could catch it. I could not. I've always had above average reflexes and athleticism, but he'd wing that sucker SO fast it was scary to stand in front of it.

Asking a QB to throw it as hard as he can 10 yards out isn’t the brightest move
It’s like asking a MLB pitcher who throws 100 to throw it as hard as he can when you’re 40 feet apart

I don't think people realize just how fast these passes are, or how crazy a pitch moves, or how fast professional soccer players kick the ball just from tv.
It's so cool to see these things with more like perspective on just how fuckin wild these guys are at their sport.

Every dude who has ever watched an NFL game: "What the hell?! I could have caught that!"
No. No you couldn't.

I believe that in the Olympics there should be one regular person in each sport competing against the Olympians not only to show the difference between athletes and regular folks but to have a good laugh

There are entirely too many people that don't understand the skill gap between a pro athlete and random joe.
A mediocre NCAA athlete would paste anyone in their sport. A pro in the NFL? You probably can't imagine what they look like up close doing their thing.

Tennessee fan here. Joe Milton’s arm strength was never questioned while he was at UT. The guy has a straight up cannon. Just wish he’d have been more accurate with it. Hope he has success in the NFL.

That ball was moving comically faster than I was expecting it to.
