Chicago Cubs: Cubs draft superhuman hurler throwing 105 mph

Theo Epstein, Chicago Cubs President of Baseball Operations, is signing up superhumans in an effort for Cubs pitching domination

Theo Epstein is always messing with a plan for Chicago Cubs pitching domination, and his latest move may be the wackiest one or the most significant genius move yet. It’s true; Epstein’s plans don’t always work out for him like with a very expensive Cubs reliever, Brandon Morrow, who the Cubs still hope to get some action on before the inevitable next injury happens, but Epstein’s latest plan could work.

It has become quite clear to fans and critics alike that Epstein is recruiting super-human baseball pitchers. Yes, just like in the Avengers or X-Men comics and movies. Epstein’s super-humans are being groomed for Cubs pitching domination on the field. Although right now, they may be too unseasoned to just jump into ‘The Show,’ Epstein is counting on a little work and development to bring his amazing super-human pitchers to Cubs fans soon.

I’m not joking here fans;  look, the Cubs new fourth-round draft pick already threw a 105 mph heater just last month and there is video evidence! Before we get to all that, let’s recall Epstein’s first Avenger.

Do you remember Cubs’ left-handed relief pitcher CD Pelham?  Check out more about Pelham here. The 6 foot 6 inch Pelham has some of the longest arms in the game! Talk about a super-human, and Pelham boasts a considerable wingspan and kick that can get him right up on batters when throwing the heat.

Although Pelham was not given a roster spot and sent to the minors to fine-tune his game, his five seasons of experience and incredible arm-length should have him coasting through minor-league play until he’s called up for action.

I like to tell Missouri MLB fans that the ‘CD’ in CD Pelham stands for ‘Cardinal Destroyer’! For now, the Cardinal Destroyer will have to stay in shape if he wants to get a chance to bring his game to Wrigley Field when and if baseball resumes.  If Pelham gets a break and does make a showing someday, be ready for one amazingly physical contest fans.

But Epstein has outdone himself this time, as the Cubs newly drafted lefty pitcher might just break some world records.

Chicago Cubs: 105 mph? Priceless

Now I know there is some wise-ass out there, right now in some chat room saying something like, “Just cause he can throw it 105 mph doesn’t mean he has the accuracy as well. Anyone can throw 105 mph without accuracy…”

I say try it, tough guy. Take a video of it, cause I want to laugh my head off when your arm comes out of its socket and goes flailing around or better yet, shoots right out of its socket and across the yard and knocks Granny out cold.

It is tough to throw a ball 105 mph with or without accuracy. The point is: this kid can do it with precision! Time to have some fun!

The workout posted on Twitter took place on May 9, 2020. I wonder if quarantining had anything to do with it? Maybe Little had been locked down for 60 days prior, and his arm was like a Rocket-propelled-grenade launcher (RPG) ready to unleash some devastation? Not a bad name either, Luke’ RPG’ Little… oh I LIKES that.

Considering that Chapman is only 6 foot 4 inches, you can imagine at Little’s height, what velocity he may be capable of attaining.  As I said, Little was just drafted and if Epstein were to send him to a Cubs velocity camp; in three weeks Little could add anywhere from 1 – 3 mph on his heat just by fine-tuning his mechanics and adjusting the training methods in his routine like breathing.

Is it possible that Little could show up for duty throwing 108 mph? Now you’re beginning to understand. Yes, super-human.

Little may have the strength, height and tools to break Chapman’s record since Chapman achieved his 105 mph on the New York Yankees and supposedly threw a 106 mph while on the Cincinnati Reds, Little would be the first Chicago Cubs pitcher to break the record while in a Cubs uniform.

Of course, Cubs fans would certainly go crazy if Little broke the world record at Wrigley Field; it might just get Little on the marquee with Cubs former heroes Kerry Wood and Greg Maddux.

Think of all those sluggers Little is going to smoke at the plate in the future. They won’t even see it coming at 108 mph.

I hear rumors that Epstein’s next prospect can create natural tar under his fingernails.

Okay, I’m just kidding… or am I?
