With the popularity of cricket in India, there is a ton of hidden baseball talent there. Like rugby players to the NFL

Since this game is similar to cricket, Indian can grow in baseball very fast. It wont take more than 5 years if Baseball is also commercially supported like cricket.

@@yolo1867but the cricket pacers can hit 100 mph easily even over than that in baseball cause you throw the ball so it's easy vo pacers to generate the pace as they can bend their arms. Chris Gayle at 43 touched 95 mph easily in baseball and he was a Batman and a spinner not even a fast bowlers obviously they had to learn variation but just in terms of generating pace fast bowlers can easily pitch over 100mph. They touch 90mph with a straight arm in cricket

@kieranw.coleman3890 2 ай бұрын

@@rayyanalikhan9100 Baseball pitchers aren't allowed to pitch with run up like the cricket pacers, the extra run up will definitely increase the speed. Only throwing 95 mph above fastball isn't enough for a pitcher, you need several breaking pitches with different movement and speed, or the batters are still able to hit deeply. Meanwhile the pitchers also need the control ablility to throw the balls into strikezone which is the most difficult part as a pitcher. I would say the cricket pacers are more like outfielder in baseball which have the run up before throwing balls and the throwing velocity would go to 95~100 mph with run up in MLB.

Cricket is more global than baseball and also more competitive than baseball. That's the reason it is included in 2027 LA Olympics. Baseball is not permanently included in Olympics, it is included on the basis of the hosting nation sometimes it's present sometimes it's not. Only US and Japan dominates this game on the other hand cricket is growing in associate nations especially the T20 format.
