I can't even imagine how pumped that catcher must've been, lol.
he catches him all the time, im sure he wasnt very excited
It was his son
How’s his sons career going?
Probably thinking “make a good throw back, don’t overthrow roger Clemens”
wow, imagine playing catch with roger clemens
The view of the city in the background is just beautiful
I can watch Him pitch all day.
That skyline is gorgeous
Crazy to see how age really gets to you. We all saw him get rocked in the College Scrimmage. In his PRIME though, they called him The Rocket for a reason. He had a ton of rotation on his fastball and when he put them up in the zone at 96-97, they were real hard to get around on.
I loved Clemens when he was with the Red Sox . He was my favorite player of all time. I still play and it would be amazing to catch him or simply stand in the box with a bat as he pitched. What a thrill that would be.
hope those kids knew how much of a treat that was. roger's one of the best of all time
With or without Steroids?
why chose
Jiltedin2007 both
Jiltedin2007 who gives a shit
One of the best with a syringe and his pants pulled down.
The Rocket still makes that glove pop!!!
U do realize it’s the catchers who make the glove pop
FooBar Maximus id bet he’d still strike you out
Love that sound!
One of the greatest ever
His throws are so effortless and bringing the heat with em
Perfect example of how to use your full body to generate power. He looks like he's barely trying, and producing sold velocity because of how well he utilizes his whole body in his pitching.
dude is pumping like 75mph at 60% effort at age 50 something lol
Ikr
Awesome! Clemens was awesome!
I could hit those
Ya that’s not 75 but it’s still impressive
Those fastballs are low 70's. He could probably only hit low 80s though
the sound of the seams splitting through the air. The ball smacking the glove. Beautiful.
I work at UIC, Wow the Rocket in my back yard. I think it's great for Roger Clemens to continue pitching I am sure he is well aware of his Hall of Fame nomination coming up soon.
Go get em Rocket!
I used to be both a pitcher and catcher....so I love this
The most beautiful windup ever. Best pitcher of all time.
Great stuff
If I caught for the rocket, i would put that on my resume and keep it for the rest of my life
I could watch this all day.
Glad to see him back
He makes it look so easy
I always reference Roger Clemens when talking pitching mechanics!
Roger Clemens and Greg Maddux have VERY similar throwing motions and I love it because they’re both top 10 all time faves for me
I always thought he has a wild mechanic...man, this is one clean, neat throw.
Aw man I would be friggin psyched if I was one of those players. Im sure they were told not to take pics or video though.
SWEET even from watching behind the mound!
The reason guys from that era could throw so many complete games is that it was so much a full body effort. It is today too, to an extent. But guys today have such a violent arm snap to attempt to get more velocity. Players now not only rarely throw complete games, but they have a much shorter shelf life. You can see how much it was all body with Clemens, as he looks like he's barely trying here and still hitting 80.
That and everybody is so damned worried about spin rate. Who gives a crap? Great pitchers were great because they excelled at their particular style. With Clemens (and Johnson too) you had that nasty heat to contend with coupled with their wicked offspeed stuff. Glavine and Maddux were the complete opposite. They wouldn't overpower you, but they would force you to harmlessly put the ball into play.
THANK U ROGER FOR THE TIME U TOOK TO HELP THE PLAYERS!!!!!! NEED UR CONTACT INFO????
Put him in the Hall. It's the Baseball Hall of Fame, not a damn Purple Heart.
seabrook1976 agreed
seabrook1976 Yeah, If anything even just his early career on the Red Sox should merit a hall of fame introduction
He will get in. Unfortunately, he will never be regarded as highly as he should be. The guy really didn't need roids to be good, he just needed them to help heal up. This gave him longevity, but not talent. That was always there.
He's a hack and cheated. Doesn't deserve hof
Unless he used PED, he would have already
I'm 31 now and I grew up such a huge clemens fan that watching this brings me back into my childhood. that classic over head wind up, breaking vision turning his head down only to know he's gonna throw straight cheese. I want this man in the HOF so badly I'd pay for it. Nothing but accusations towards his use of PEDs and even a not-guilty verdict of him lying on the stand about it. Still not in. I hope before I die, one day he gets invited. I had a chance to meet Roger in Baltimore and I got to throw a single ball at him and even to this day is a top 5 highlight of my life.
How fast do you think he was throwing there? Mid 80's?
LEGEND
It’s sad that he’s never come back to a Yankees Old Timer game, even though many of his teammates have been back, including Andy Pettite and Jason Giambi.
Are we going to talk about the view from behind the batters box
Take note kids, if you have good mechanics you can throw forever
The rocket 🚀.
good controll
say what you want about Roger Clemens. But he has seven Cy young awards. the most in MLB history.
With juice but yeah
I guarantee this is the highlight of this catchers career..
I'll go on the record and say it: I think we were WAAAY too hard on Clemens and Bonds. I'd be happy to see them both in the HOF.
Way to hard....It was a different time!
RunFor OurLives did he kill someone? Did he beat his wife? It’s the baseball hall of fame, not a goddam Purple Heart.
@@seabrook1976 you just made the worst case possible. It's the baseball hall of fame, not the cheater hall of fame.
Man struck out 20 people, at a Major Leauge level game...twice. He didnt look like he missed a single spot this entire pen.
Genius pitcher
If you have good mechanics, you can throw forever!
I love Roger but returning to pitch with the Sugar Land Skeeters is the equivalent of Lance Armstrong getting a paper route in his neighborhood
Catcher looks real good
The hand of god
Whoa, those fastballs were at least 62mph. MEATBALLS
@mm lmao
dropping the right arm to the ground is the move folks who throw in the 70's never do. Lose a lot of speed by not doing it.
When does he throw the bat
リリースの瞬間が見えない❗
How can anyone talk shit about him. Hes like 53 years old idk the age and he still throws 88 mph with a sick 12-6 curve
Those pre corona days...
Goat pitcher
He could pitch today
God is so good. No matter what happens in life, He has a plan better than anything we can imagine. He is working all things out for our good, even when we don’t understand why some things happen the way they do. Don’t lose faith, keep trusting and believing in Him. God isn’t done with you, keep fighting the good fight. Be a blessing to someone today. God bless. Do you know Jesus as your Lord and savior? It’s the best decision you can ever make, and at the end of the day, it’s the ultimate decision we have to make. This life is only temporary. Eternity is forever. Do you know where you will spend eternity? God bless. God is so good.
That last curve simular to mine
I played agiansed his sons baseball team
So fucking mesmerizing
I think he will pitch in 2013.. Could he since hes in Hall of Famer?
Funny if you go bak to his later years he got rid of the big wind up and brought his hands down.
How fast is that like 75
Nick Selden looks slower
G.O.A.T
He should be in the Hall. It was most players in his era and our generation of baseball lovers will vote him in. The old sports writers are dying off. Baseball was more popular and exciting in the 90’s, 2000’s, I say allow recovery supplements and modest steroids. Even playing field.
What are you talking about I was just agreeing with you.
Only pitcher to strike out twenty batters, twice! Only Kerry Wood was the other pitcher with 20 K’s
If you’re at perfect peace whilst viewing this treasure, you love baseball. To the rest of you’s, you’ll never get it.
nahh here, hes throwing probably around 70-80% so i'd say around low to mid 70's. but in games, he can still reach 89.
Pro
PONGA EsE CABALLETE ENTRE LOS MEJORES LANZADORES DE LAS GRANDES LIGAS MÍ BROTHER...⚾👌💪💙💙 CON DOS CORAZONES JUGO EL JUEGO DE BÉISBOL🙌🌱👤💙⚾👌
Why does this remind me of Kenny Powers
ESPN reported that his fastball recently hit 87 mph, which is very good for a 50 year old pitcher. I think his comeback attempt may depend on if he's still good with his off speed pitches. If his changeup is still better than average, he has a shot. He may have to develop some new pitches, like a knuckleball.
Imagine Roger Clemens throwing a knuckleball. I'd be a little surprised if he starts throwing one. But if he can pitch a great knuckleball, he could be in the majors until age 60.
R McElhaney no
You don't have a fucking clue about professional baseball.
…..bro you can’t ask me nothing right now, all I can do is catch
My favorite Clemens moment was when Griffey went oppo-taco off of him in Toronto. He didn’t even flinch or turn his head to see if it was gone. I only wish Junior had admired it a little longer, just to twist the knife.
if he had just admitted his use and that it was wrong and he regretted it...his legacy I think would have been fine. He didn't juice in boston and he was awesome...it's too bad that he couldn't admit that he was wrong.
And how to properly inject steroids after kids!
So?
Only place he will pitch in 2013 is batting practice to his grandkids' Little League teams.
Lucky kids
You should see what he showed them off the field... how to inject steroids
Guys legs are shot
G'S Up 34 but his pitches are still accurate and his curveball never left him.
Ben Middleton torso strength?
In your 50s, everything is shot. Just wait :(
Shot...up with steroids.
La baja a 5 mph
ahahah un giovane di buone speranze! direi proprio che ha delle buone possibilità...ma deve ancora crescere ahahahahaahahah he's a great pitcher
So pretty.
he's not in the hall of fame yet! If he does manage to pitch in the Big's he will postpone his induction until 2018! Fat chance though! Peace Out!!
Pop
Buenas noche soy picher necesito a alguien que me ayude
Curve ball still nasty but Mike piazza nastier lol
ㅂㅇㄹ~
Let the kids pitch dude lol
스테로이드 맨
Clemens was acquitted of all charges. He will be in the hall :)
True. The HoF is just a recognition anyway. His stats are what they are, no matter what people think. I hate what roids did to the 1980s-1990s (today too), but its time to move forward.
I bet he was teaching those kids how to use steroids
....and Tiger Balm
When does the steroid session start?
Nice banter
In the bathroom of a seedy motel in Baltimore in 1986.
thndrct218 LMAO.
Did you really?? What a fucking loser you must be.
Mike L You sound angry. Must be roid rage or your boyfriend just dumped you.
E.A. Hawley yeah I have no business commenting on this thread I was I just trying to get involved in the mix. Atleast you made it funny. Have a good day guys
Still looks pretty good. He would downright help the Astros.
if i get paid millions of dollars if i do steroids, i'll fucking do it too
Dont worry cincy dion is a fool
He ruined his reputation and all achievements by being so stubborn as to not tell the simple truth......Pride cometh before the fall

this is HOF,,,,,
