A Japanese schoolboy has put worldwide baseball scouts on alert after throwing a pitch clocked at 160kph (100 mph) in a regional high school tournament. “It felt good to throw my favorite fastball like that,” Shohei Otani, 18, told Japanese media. By comparison, the hardest throwers in Major League Baseball pitch as fast as 170kph. But Otani’s throwing arm has not yet fully developed. “That was the speed I promised the coach I would throw so I’m glad to have clocked that figure,” he said.

What’s with the hand on the butt at 0:25? After seeing that and the lads from the Japanese national football team (below) one could wonder if that’s a thing in Japan’s world of sports

 

Diving phenom Jordan Pisey Windle, at just 13, is the youngest ever to qualify for the U.S. Olympic diving trials, which will be held in Seattle later this month.

But Jordan’s also a young standout in the LGBT community. Adopted from Cambodia as a baby and raised by two gay dads, he recently released his own “It Gets Better” spot, and he will serve as the grand marshal for Central Indian’s upcoming Pride Parade.

Despite his increasing notoriety, Jordan isn’t too preoccupied with his upbringing: “I’ve never actually thought about it,” he says. And the youngster’s sights are set on Rio de Janeiro if he doesn’t make London. “This is a good setup for 2016,” says mentor Greg Louganis, a four-time Olympic gold medallist. “This is a time to learn. It’s a learning process and a journey.”

The English are just as passionate, the Scots are rather excited sometimes as well while the Japanese are still practising their Ninja skills… oh well…
