IIRC, Einstein admitted that math was not one his strengths.

OK, fair enough as far as it goes.

But he was so intelligent anyway, that he could probably wipe the floor with most of the people on this thread in mathematics.

By analogy Randy Johnson's off-speed pitches are still faster than what most people on this thread could manage to throw; even though they're not fast "for him".

OK. But Einstein admitted he needed help with the math for his theories and sought it from his contemporaries.

If Randy is smart, he's done the same. He may have natural talent, but I'd guess he'd be the first to say his coaches have helped him immensely.
