The speed improvement from using a golfball instead of a baseball would probably not be very large, but it seemsplausible that a professional pitcher with some time to practice could throw agolf ball faster than a baseball.

扔高尔夫球而非棒球带来的速度提升可能不是很大,但我们有理由相信,一个经过一段时间训练的专业投手能更快地扔出高尔夫球。

If so, based on aerodynamic calculations,Aroldis Chapman could probably throw a golf ball about sixteen giraffes high:

如果是这样的话,基于空气动力学计算,查普曼扔出的高尔夫球差不多能达到16只长颈鹿这么高:

This is probably about the maximum possiblealtitude for a thrown object.

这大概是一个投掷物所能达到的最高的高度了……

. . . unless you count the technique bywhich any five-year-old can beat all these records easily.

……除非你用一点小技巧,否则任何一个5岁的小孩都能轻松打破这些纪录:

1 Citation: my Little League career.

1.来源:我的少年棒球联盟生涯。

2 Counterexample: my Little League career.

2.反例:我的少年棒球联盟生涯。

3 Where they remained forever.

3.然后就一直留在那儿了。

4 And a lot of other data, too.

4.还有许多无关的数据。
