Hypo: You can throw any round 1-lb object accurately up to 500 feet
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 15th, 2022 10:33 PM Author: confused magenta crackhouse athletic conference You can place any one pound object--stone, small fruit, iron nodule, etc.--extremely accurately within 500 feet. Other than this skill you are not particularly athletic. What would you do with this skill? Me? I'd develop the most amazing rock skipping channel that TikTok has ever seen. |

Date: March 16th, 2022 9:27 AM Author: Apoplectic Mad Cow Disease This is a completely retarded take.
Unless OP's hypo defies the laws of physics, then the force needed to propel a ball 500 feet is sufficient to be a pitcher. And if you can accurately hit a target 500 feet away, why would you not be able to accurately hit a catcher's mitt approximately 62 feet away?
Being a baseball pitcher is the cr choice, even if you are limited in the hypo to being a one-trick pony. |

Date: March 16th, 2022 5:32 PM Author: stirring degenerate garrison Speed is just a small part of an MLB pitcher's skill. Unless you can throw 120 mph, speed and accuracy alone is worth very little. You need to be able vary speed, breaking trajectories, etc in ways that MLB batters won't be able to figure out after a few encounters
There've been plenty of 95+ mph fastballers who couldn't hack it at that level |

|
Date: March 17th, 2022 3:02 PM Author: Racy Translucent Ceo Dog Poop My math isn’t scientific, but a baseball is 5.25 ounces, and throwing 500 feet no wind at sea level takes at least 115mph. Now re-base it for 16oz and the speed is ridiculous.
And if it weren’t for the pinpoint accuracy thing, then no catcher could react fast enough to catch it either. |

Date: March 15th, 2022 11:05 PM Author: Talking roommate sandwich Well the obvious answer is basketball at 20oz which requires practically nothing but the ability to occasionally get open literally anywhere on the court. That’s an easy way to being the greatest and highest paid athlete of all time and easily make you worth a billion dollars. If those 4 oz extra are too much for the hypo, then football qb, but you’d have a lot of injury risk and it would require a lot of teamwork and football iq. I think the greats like Rodgers are basically perfect passers for most passes and even they lose games so yes you may have better deep throws but I imagine it wouldn’t make a big difference if you didn’t know where to put the ball and you probably would fuck that decision up more than Rodgers even if you could put the ball perfectly where you wanted deep.
Outside of sports, maybe like, put on a magic-like show in Vegas where you throw objects in cool spots like flaming cups and rings and into the audiences hands and mouths from huge distances. Could easily make a few million a year doing that. Alternatively maybe you are a secret service person that can throw rocks accurately at snipers and people in the crowds, but that probably won’t pay and you wouldn’t get to utilize your talent often. Or you be an assassin that throws darts from a distance, which would be the opposite. You could also be like a hot dog and beer vendor in a stadium and print money. But basketball player is the obvious answer.

OP seems to imply that you can only throw it at the minimum velocity of whatever distance you’re throwing. Because, if you can throw the minimum force necessary to hurl a 1# ball 500 feet, then you also have a 150mph fastball.

Date: March 16th, 2022 9:50 AM Author: Racy Translucent Ceo Dog Poop Assuming no wind. Probably needs to be at a pretty high elevation (10,000 feet?). Exit velocities for 500 foot HRs are all over the place, but it seems like you need to throw at least 110mph. Aroldis Chapman could maybe do this with a running start.
