It's the same thing everytime... "Crack of the bat "Hits pitcher" "Pitcher either lays down on the ground hurt or he makes the play" Crowd: "OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH"
I remember pitching when I was in school. This was my fear. Had to dodge a few and caught a few and got hit by a few. Never seriously hurt, but lots of bruises.
As much as it's nasty to see these guys getting beamed by a hit, you gotta admire how tough some of these guys are being able to still throw a guy out at first despite getting drilled.
Yeah, but that's because we've seen it many times where the ball flips straight backwards right into the catcher. No gear and he would likely seriously be dead. I think pitchers should have some added protection - a helmet and some sort of protective vest - at least to protect their heart.
outside pitches are a nightmare because batters don't like to hit the ball the other way instead they try to pull it and it'll usually go right back where it came from. still it's a game and shit happens
It seems like there were a couple times the runner could have grabbed an extra base but didn't. Is this one of the "unwritten rules" or does the ump immediately call time out when the pitcher gets wrecked?
In Little League, my catcher thought he was cool and instead of wearing a helmet, he just wore his cap backward and the mask. On the first pitch, the batter foul tipped it right into his forehead--ouch!
This is why when they asked me if i wanted to pitch i said “HELL NO!” I may not be the smartest peanut in the terd but i just dont see that working out too well from time to time.
I'd say a face guard and crotch guard would be useful. For the face they could use plastic you can completely see through so as not to obstruct the pitcher's view (like the catcher's face guard).
Because of tradition, being used to throwing without one, thinking it's less accurate (or actually being so), and because it's relatively rare, especially a major injury.
About 2 months ago my teammate got hit by a line drive in in the face and his glasses broke and he was out for the whole season. It was really shocking
Pitching batting practice in college, a future major leaguer hit a liner straight back at my chest. It happened so fast, my life flashed before my eyes AFTER I caught it.
Other differences include exit velocity much higher off the bat that from the pitcher, batter wears a helmet, pitcher is in a very vulnerable body position compared to the batter, and batter has the pitcher’s whole delivery to anticipate a ball coming their way compared to a pitcher having only a split second. But other than that yeah, essentially the same thing.
When i was about 15 yo, i was pitching in a homerun derby. No screen in front of the mound, like MLB does for derbys. Thought it'd be fine, cuz in a HRD, everybody tryin to pull the ball. Third dude in, he hit a screamer right at my friggin coconut! Just barely got my bare right hand up in time, and the ball smacked my palm instead of my forehead. Didnt injure my hand at all. Took a few minutes, then continued pitching the HRD.
That’s why I stopped pitching in 9th grade lol. One of the pitchers on my team got absolutely decked by a ball and I told coach I wasn’t pitching no more
Favorites are when the pitchers obviously eat it hard but still realize there's a play going on and react. To those that were hit so hard they just.. couldn't do anything I'm not trying to knock them, I understand the sheer pain they must be in.
Hard to watch; 25 years of pitching and plenty of come-backers, mostly harmless deflections of the legs, glove etc but one absolutely nailed me. saw it coming, could almost count the stitches on the ball, turned my head and it nailed me in the back of my neck. I went down, got up a bit dazed but got up ( later learned I was non compus) threw 15 changeups shaking the catcher off on every pitch and somehow it worked. Woke up the next day unable to turn my head/neck.
As a pitcher this is without a doubt something you just have to block out of your head to be able to do your job confidently, but my god you better be ready the day the ball comes screaming right to the back of your skull or worse.
i was a pitcher when i was in youth sports, a ball went straight to my goodies, luckily I had my glove their the whole game lol. Another time, it was in school for just sports, a softball was in the air, the sun was in my eyes, the softball went straight to my right eye.
This is why so many pitchers cross themselves when they first take the mound. A 95 mile an hour pitch coming back at you at twice that speed is serious
Seriously that ball has to be going way over 100 mph! The fact they don’t die when hit in the head is a miracle. God bless them. And most actually try and make the play after there hit. F that! I stub my toe nowadays and I’m down for 45 minutes 😂😂
I wonder if there are certain pitches that have a higher tendency to be hit back towards the pitcher than others. Anyone has any insight id appreciate the feed back
so how does this affect the pitchers, concussions or traumatic brain injuries? how do their careers usually go after something like this, it must at least shake them up a bit, yeah I don't watch much baseball, figured I'd see the bo jackson-nolan ryan hit though, I remember that one haha
Marty Perez of the Braves hit Jon Matlack of the Mets off the forehead and the ball went into the dugout on the fly. Late 60's I think - Matlack came back later in the season.

@@greatestever2146 that is the funniest fucking roast 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@greatestever2146 when you’re an artistic savage😂😂
I literally took a line drive to the chest during my first inning as a pitcher. I kept pitching but it was a painful reminder of what could happen.
@M soccer sucks, 90 min of running no scorez. Better than a sleeping pill.
It's the same thing everytime...
"Crack of the bat
"Hits pitcher"
"Pitcher either lays down on the ground hurt or he makes the play"
Crowd: "OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH"
Cube Stacker I mean... yeah. Basically only two outcomes. What else were you hoping for?
Tony Ferrari I don't know that's why I watched the video
Cube Stacker Lol. I guess I can't argue with that.
idk why this made me laugh so hard.
Cube Stacker i
I remember pitching when I was in school.
This was my fear.
Had to dodge a few and caught a few and got hit by a few.
Never seriously hurt, but lots of bruises.
Major flaw of baseball, pitchers should have a little protection
This is VERY rare dude
The Dudest the pitcher should have some protection in my opinion
Biggest flaw of baseball is the umpires
@@atomknight8361 Lol no, Umpires are a big part of what makes baseball BASEBALL
@@kptlt.phillipthomsen5973 and a reason baseball is dying out
Pitchers are right in the line of fire! I don't know why they dont wear masks and pads like the umpire.
it would be great for safety. but me as a pitcher i dont want to wear that. i would hate to wear that
itd be pretty uncomfortable pitching with a mask on lmfao
puddingsnaxxx
Yeah uncomfortable until you get beaned in the forehead with a 100+ mph baseball to the dome. Safety before comfort me thinks.
+puddingsnaxxx I wear a face mask when pitching it's really not that uncomfortable
Maybe not a mask, but a helmet at the very least.
0:17 *Minecraft death noise"
MANCHESTER UNITED F.C shut up
🙊 it was
Dude soccer sucks
Agreed
@M I like/play soccer but there's better sports
Same reaction from the crowd every time. "Oooohhhhhhh"
Man I need some Advil after watching this video
0:10 i thought that he was running to his injured teammate but instead he was running to get the ball
As much as it's nasty to see these guys getting beamed by a hit, you gotta admire how tough some of these guys are being able to still throw a guy out at first despite getting drilled.
this is why i like bieng catcher you have gear😂
Look up videos of catchers being cracked right in there McNuggets. No one is safe. Lol
Right on the tip!
slimegirls 1 ikr
Yellow Rice don't know what that feels like
Yeah, but that's because we've seen it many times where the ball flips straight backwards right into the catcher. No gear and he would likely seriously be dead. I think pitchers should have some added protection - a helmet and some sort of protective vest - at least to protect their heart.
1:22 Good thing the Astros didn't hit Verlander somewhere serious...
that's going to hurt in the morning.
the pain.
i hope the Pitchers are okay.
1:40 ouchhhhhhhhh
These mother fuckers sound like Wii sports characters
Winter Fan whole vid ouchhhhhh
K.O.
1:00 Look How He Took His Hat Off 😭😭💯 .!
The crowd always gets me with the OHHH!
Okay you think when Chapman get hit with a comeback we the batter like, “how you think I feel?!”
Lol it’s like you throw the ball with all that swag and then watch the ball come and hit you directly in the face
its funny how the crowd goes "oooooohhhh"
That’s always been my number one fear about pitching lol
Football-"reeeeeee!!!!! Protect them from concussions!!"
*Baseball traveling at 100 mph to the head* "that's fine"
Like if you've been hit
Can I like if I've hit a pitcher with the ball?
That's fair.
Pretty small target given the range and variation of firing the weapon.
Girgensons 2828 I've broke my finger because of this
Sprained the bird finger on my left hand a couple of times catching them.
No broken though.
Saved that for later being a mechanic.
Goddam wrenches!
Girgensons 2828 I've been hit many of times
I feel if a pitcher is down and physically can't make a play you should never take another bag or go home
Fuck that. Its still a live ball.
Yet in so many of these plays, the defensive team still got big outs. Says so much about the talent of professional baseball players.
didn't you notice the crowd basically made the same noise when the players got hit
When I was pitching in previous years, definitely can relate to getting hit a few times, couple of them was during the warm up before the inning
so my question.. why aren't these pitchers wearing those hard helmets/caps like the one swinging??
That's a really good question lol
Guys don't while playing infield they just wear hats
Leone B I doubt the pitchers would like it.
Because that ball is coming back at you a lot faster than you're throwing it. Wearing some sort of padding would help but not as much as people think.
Leone B Balance
Respect for the ones that took the hit and still assisted on the out
outside pitches are a nightmare because batters don't like to hit the ball the other way instead they try to pull it and it'll usually go right back where it came from. still it's a game and shit happens
It seems like there were a couple times the runner could have grabbed an extra base but didn't. Is this one of the "unwritten rules" or does the ump immediately call time out when the pitcher gets wrecked?
I changed the whole way i played basketball because a head injury gave me epilepsy at 15 so these are rough but entertaining.
2:37 didn't look close to a pitcher being hit by comeback pitches
I love that hustle at 2:05
In Little League, my catcher thought he was cool and instead of wearing a helmet, he just wore his cap backward and the mask. On the first pitch, the batter foul tipped it right into his forehead--ouch!
All of these made me cry....
This is why when they asked me if i wanted to pitch i said “HELL NO!” I may not be the smartest peanut in the terd but i just dont see that working out too well from time to time.
The crowd reactions crack me up lol.
Question from a non baseball fan here (so forgive my great ignorance). Why dont they have some sort of protection?
I'd say a face guard and crotch guard would be useful. For the face they could use plastic you can completely see through so as not to obstruct the pitcher's view (like the catcher's face guard).
Because of tradition, being used to throwing without one, thinking it's less accurate (or actually being so), and because it's relatively rare, especially a major injury.
This video should be renamed as MLB: pure bullets
Nah pure pure bullets
I wish there are gears for pitchers to protect them from hitbacks especially headshots whenever I see this kind of videos...
That happened in my baseball tournament yesterday. Nasty hit back to the mound/pitcher
Why is this so satisfying
Cuz pitcher are petty
About 2 months ago my teammate got hit by a line drive in in the face and his glasses broke and he was out for the whole season. It was really shocking
Pitching batting practice in college, a future major leaguer hit a liner straight back at my chest. It happened so fast, my life flashed before my eyes AFTER I caught it.
*Ball hits Pitcher, Pitcher gets back up*
Announcer: Oh, out cold!
I used to keep my hands up after a pitch, I rather take the hit anywhere other than the head. But sometimes there is very little time to react.
Scariest thing in sports. Maybe tied with getting sliced by a hockey blade.
Mom: I signed you up for baseball, you’ll be the pitcher!
Me: 😶😶😶
That dan Jennings one where he stumbles around scares the shit out of me
Pitchers get hit far less than the batters they throw at. The biggest difference is that pitchers do it on purpose and batters just get lucky.
I like to see a good comeback after an intentional bean
mrbeaverstate o
odd I would think the difference is that the pitcher has no helmet and rarely do batters ever get hit on the head (purpose or not)
But pitchers are closer and hit by balls 110 miles an hour
Other differences include exit velocity much higher off the bat that from the pitcher, batter wears a helmet, pitcher is in a very vulnerable body position compared to the batter, and batter has the pitcher’s whole delivery to anticipate a ball coming their way compared to a pitcher having only a split second.
But other than that yeah, essentially the same thing.

That’s why I stopped pitching in 9th grade lol. One of the pitchers on my team got absolutely decked by a ball and I told coach I wasn’t pitching no more
Respect to the guys that still manage to throw the batter out.
it'd be kinda cool to see what happens after it hits them instead of switching to the next clip as quick as possible lol
Favorites are when the pitchers obviously eat it hard but still realize there's a play going on and react. To those that were hit so hard they just.. couldn't do anything I'm not trying to knock them, I understand the sheer pain they must be in.
And pitching today we have SCOTT STERLING
THEY BROUGHT HIM A CHAIR!!
Hard to watch; 25 years of pitching and plenty of come-backers, mostly harmless deflections of the legs, glove etc but one absolutely nailed me. saw it coming, could almost count the stitches on the ball, turned my head and it nailed me in the back of my neck. I went down, got up a bit dazed but got up ( later learned I was non compus) threw 15 changeups shaking the catcher off on every pitch and somehow it worked. Woke up the next day unable to turn my head/neck.
That was beautifully put, loved the bit where you could count the stitches XD
It be nice to have a little bit of the after getting hit footage. Would like to know if they’re ok.
I remember hitting a ball straight back at the pitcher when I was 7. It was hard and fast and she just went down. I felt so bad.
2:14 actually kinda funny how he doesnt flinch
n i c c must have practiced this in the offseason
An 89mph baseball hitting your shin. I think my soul would LEAVE my body if by some miracle my leg didn’t instantaneously get cut in half
Pitcher's worst nightmare ... Line drive to the mound.
One time I was pitching and I got a comebacker straight to my upper lip... Let's just say there was blood everywhere.
As a pitcher this is without a doubt something you just have to block out of your head to be able to do your job confidently, but my god you better be ready the day the ball comes screaming right to the back of your skull or worse.
Exactly why I never wanted to pitch playing baseball with friends.
i was a pitcher when i was in youth sports, a ball went straight to my goodies, luckily I had my glove their the whole game lol.
Another time, it was in school for just sports, a softball was in the air, the sun was in my eyes, the softball went straight to my right eye.
This was my worst fear when I used to be a pitcher
The Jennings one always scares me
I love it when pitchers get hit! They can hit batters whenever they want, then act like they lost a limb when they catch a deflection in the ass.
Maybe because the comeback is faster than pitches, unexpected, and no helmets?
Ppl be saying baseball be fun shidd wait till you get rocked 😂😂😂
I got a come back in the game I just pitched, I caught it tho, almost pissed my pants because those hurt
Those head shots, hurt just to watch😣
This is painful just painful
How fast is the ball coming back at them? If he's throwing 90mph then that ball has to be coming back at least 100mph or more
Under 20 mph faster.
I m a second baseman. I took a liner to the face a few years ago. Broke a lower orbit and compressed a sinus.
I love it when it hits the pitcher but he still makes the play
This is why so many pitchers cross themselves when they first take the mound. A 95 mile an hour pitch coming back at you at twice that speed is serious
Seriously that ball has to be going way over 100 mph! The fact they don’t die when hit in the head is a miracle. God bless them. And most actually try and make the play after there hit. F that! I stub my toe nowadays and I’m down for 45 minutes 😂😂
This is exactly why I never wanted to be pitcher when we played baseball in high school.
Can’t imagine how painful that is
0:17. Yeah, I know he got hit, but I do not know if it is nessasary to teleport.
SMOstreamer 937 huh
The ring you get from being smashed in the head by a bat or a ball is hard to beat...
I only played baseball once but I was scared af that the ball would come back and hit me lol
good vid wish you would've showed more than just the hit like that after effect
I remember Greg Luzinski hitting a laser back to the pitcher hitting him in the mouth.
This is why pitching is the riskiest position in baseball.
I was pitching to my dad when he hit one of these at me... luckily I hit the deck in time
If they’re throwing 100 mph I wonder how fast some of those line drives are going... ouch
I wonder if there are certain pitches that have a higher tendency to be hit back towards the pitcher than others. Anyone has any insight id appreciate the feed back
1:38 I remember watching this live and everything was silent. Even the announcers barely said anything.
as a pitcher, this is my worst fear
I always think of that possibility whenever I see baseball.
I still find it odd that they don't pitch from outside the line of fire like in pesäpallo. Especially in recreational play.
The commentary at 49 seconds 😂😂
so how does this affect the pitchers, concussions or traumatic brain injuries? how do their careers usually go after something like this, it must at least shake them up a bit, yeah I don't watch much baseball, figured I'd see the bo jackson-nolan ryan hit though, I remember that one haha
i hope the batters atleast go see if their alright after they go to first
This is why I play right field.
Although this is rare and even rarer to be hit in head. It would be cool if they made hats with a bit of protection that didn’t feel clunky.
Every game Charlie Brown has ever been in looks like this at least once an inning because his team has no relief pitcher.
This is the only reason I don't wanna play baseball
