It’s basically how many times a ball can go through the pitching machine. Just playing catch, a baseball would last probably 50,000+ throws and catches
@trevor3575 Жыл бұрын
Yeah you just can’t test that because arms can’t handle that
@nolanshelinsky1364 Жыл бұрын
agreed, the pitching machine is doing all the damage. Some of the coloration change may be the dye from the leather of the gloves, but all of the damage is from the pitching machine IMO

Probably a million times.. a ball going through a pitching machine easily wears it out more than 100 throws. When a ball it thrown the damage would be hitting the glove.. with the pitching machine.. it’s torn up when the wheels grab it.

I feel like this showed the ware n tare of a ball through a pitching machine more than from it being caught. A ball you're playing catch with at 70mph is not going to have that same ware as a ball thru a machine 500 times. I definitely don't blame you for using the machines, tho. 10k throws in a 4 hour span is definitely not good for the Ole arm. It was cool to see what it did to the gloves and how they were broken in as the experiment continued. Nice vid! Never expect anything less from the guys at momentum!! Always have entertaining vids, and you don't have to ride on the back of Trevor and Sim's trash talk back n forth. In all honesty, a channel with just those two doing random competitions would be hilarious to watch. Like just walking down the street and challenging who can get someone to honk first or do mini golf, go karts, arcade games, etc. You name it, and their competitiveness will always make for great content. I'd watch every video put out of theirs if they made it. Keep on killin it, guys! And Kevin too lol!!!!

I love how they originally thought they’d be done before his date got there
At the beginning of the video they mentioned MLB balls are used for around seven *pitches*, I wonder how the wear compares to being hit with a bat
ngl, growing up I played with many a ball that looked like the one at the end all the iterations in between. makes me nostalgic for those days. good stuff.
Dodgeball is one of my favorites
I'd like to see you guys get a ball super scuffed then tack it up, use everything, to try and max out the movement you can get on a ball
PItching machine is extremely tough on the ball.
As a kid who abused baseballs by throwing them against a cement wall with a white square painted on it I had an opposite result. The leather would start getting torn and scuffed as well as the seams. Would end up being like loose cowhide
Same lol had no friends so it was the only way to practice grounders and throwing
i feel so bad for kevin 😂
Hahaha. Thanks Leon!
@@Chanterprise how long did it officially take for your computer to render the video
@@peppapeenwinn3378 too many days. Plus the days I had to re-render the footage when my hard drive crashed. 🙃
"2,700 balls taken on the second day" Thats what she said
16:40 I'm thinking that the cover on the ball flipping around is causing a distraction for your eyes, making it harder to catch. The ball isn't moving that much compared to some sliders, etc.
Amazing in more ways than one.
GOD BLESS
you guys should try how long it takes to break in a composite bat
the timelaps was really neat
I actually loved this video so much
Props to Kevin....for science!
69 mph 6900 throw and 69 seams broken that’s crazy
I was rooting for the ⚾️! I am glade it I guess won. Go Cardinals!
Next video, how many times does it take to hit a baseball before the cover comes off, featuring strike out king Eric Sim
I propose the worlds largest circular game of catch with like a hundred people to properly test this.
perfect video
would love to see what kind of movement you would get pitching with a ball after every 50 times through the machine.
No mud, not legit! Hahah love your guys’ stuff
Amazing content!! Hilarious! 😂
press f to pay respects to kevin
Trevor, I'd be happy to see you throw a black baseball over the fence at Kauffman for the Royals
Machine vs Hand ?? Yeah nah.
Alternative title: how many throws does it take to get to the center of a baseball
5:08 best part😂
Go to just about any baseball academy and you'll see buckets of baseballs in various stages of wear similar to what you had there.
