and in 30 years the technology will be improved again and this same type of argument will once again be subjective it won't just stand still technology will always be better and we will never see a 115mph fastball they threw 100mph 100 years ago and now the very elite throw 104mph that tells me no amount of science gets us to 115mph ever these modern pitchers vs old time pitchers is a fair evaluation of modern vs old time fighters as well Nolan Ryan threw routinely 200 pitches every 4 days and even in the 8th or 9th innings he could hit 100mph modern pitchers 100 pitches every 5 days now figure he pitched 300 innings a year compared to 200 by todays standards now figgure in he did it for 27 years with almost no major injuries where has modern science got us but weaker so now put that in the ring and see where it leads
and then figure what happened when a 23 year old Robin Ventura charged the mound against a 45 year old Nolan Ryan what happened there no amount of science was saving that kid only the benches clearing could
