Andrew Joseph yeah I went to an mlb game and these trashy girls were flirting with the pitcher and distracting him while he was trying to practice just cause they wanted a ball. Like tf
Bruno mars yeah but he got even better when with the astros. Why do you think he got even more popular after he joined the astros? Pretty sure is spin rate got better too.
He was better before. Cy Young, Triple Crown and an MVP. 2011 was his best year so this is the year right after. There's no way a pitcher at 35 who is already a first ballot Hof is gonna be better than at 25-30 that's just ridiculous.
Kavalan ... i was a catcher in a men’s senior league. We had a pitcher that threw a heavy ball. I would take hairspray and coat the palm and pocket. It would make the fastball sound crazy with a huge snap
I am always amazed by these behind the pitcher POV’s. The showcasing of their accuracy only indicates how talented you have to be to play at this level.
Justin Verlander is a one man bullpen, he has every pitch in his arsenal, arguable the best fastball and changeup in the Majors, and can throw with force into the 8th or even 9th inning. If the Tigers win the World Series Verlander will win the Cy Young Award in 2012
I used to be too I used to be obsessed with making the ball break but all it is is just spinning the ball. That's literally almost all it is. Just take a cue ball and spin it it's the same thing with the fastball curve slider change split cut blah blah blah just spin it the way you want it to go.
I've always wanted this spot at a game to see the speed and breaks up close but this is as good as it gets. Verlander is a Machine, I went back to certain pitches so many times this video took close to 25 mins to watch. Thanks for the incredible footage - Subscribed.
This camera angle gives me a great appreciation of how amazing it is that these guys can hit the catchers target so accurately. Not easy to do from 60 feet away, with stuff that has great movement.
There are some defensive catchers with a serious cannon of an arm that can hit over 90 mph from their knees. That's how Kenley Jansen earned a spot as a pitcher. Hes originally a catcher.
Like the other guy said, there's a lot of catchers that can pitch. Aside from catchers needing to know all about pitching for their job, one thing that catchers need to be able to do is throw to second and third for steal attempts; some catchers rely on quickly releasing the ball with moderate arm strength, while others rely on brute arm strength - the best catchers have both. In some games that are a for sure loss, they'll have position players pitch so that they don't exhaust their bullpens. Russell Martin's defensive highlights should give you an idea of a catcher that could easily be a pitcher if they wanted.
Watching him with the tigers was electric! The first game I watched him pitch he took a no hitter into the 8th and the first couple innings it seemed like he wasn’t throwing his fastball with max effort and still throwing easy 96-97 and then the game got later and one of his last pitches was 102! One of the best in this era for sure!
That's JV's most underrated trait in my opinion. He's fresh forever as long as he's not injured. It's not a saying, but like in Boxing and Running, he's got an Iron Arm like a Chin or Lung. JV is the only pitcher to reach 102 pitching 8 innings in, and he's reached 100 or 101 on at least 15 occasions. The reason I know this? Verlander came from my school, Old Dominion and I have to pride him every chance I get.
that's friggin awesome man I sure can remember the feeling of throwing pitches off the baseball line and trying to put my pitches where the mit was. hes a damn good pitcher
When I see Verlander in this session of bullpen it remember me the movie For Love Of The Game and there's an scene exactly like this pre the game of the movie when the pitcher is talking with the manager about who's gonna catch him in the game and he wanted to ''Goss''
I played high level baseball and could turn a straight 98mph fastball into a 400 plus foot homer very often. But Verlander is a special talent with so much movement on his fastball you are lucky to square it up. Nobody sits on him.
Funny story about Verlander and the 2006 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. In those days, Verlander was arguably the hardest throwing pitcher in the Major Leagues, routinely hitting in the high-90s and often 100+. Verlander was defeated in game 1 of the World Series by the Cardinals' rookie, Anthony Reyes. The Cardinals had just battled the Mets in a grueling 7-game NLCS series whereas the Tigers had coasted to a 4-0 sweep of the Oakland A's in the ALCS. The Tigers were ready to start game 1 of the World Series with their ace, Verlander. The Cardinals had used up all their quality starters and were forced to go with their #5 starter Verlander. The Cardinals really had no choice. Surprisingly, the Cardinals take game 1. The series comes back to St. Louis. Down 3 games to 1, Verlander is starting game 5. As the story goes, the Cardinals' manager, Tony La Russa, inquired as to whether the stadium display of the pitch speed to the fans on the scoreboard is official. He was told that it was not. The display is only for fan information/entertainment. The pitch speed is of no specific interest to Major League Baseball and is not an official "statistic" like RBIs and batting average. La Russa asked if it would technically be legal to display some other number up there for a pitch speed, even if it were not accurate. The answer was - well, technically, it's not exactly illegal. So, La Russa somehow worked it out that, when Verlander was throwing, the pitch speed on display would be in the low 90s. That's what happened. The Tigers bench (particularly the coaches) were noticing that Verlander was inexplicably pitching much "slower" than he usually does - clearly referencing the scoreboard display. They were seeing a lot of 91s and 92s up there when they were used to see a lot of 99s and 100s. They were asking Verlander, "Are you feeling OK? Anything wrong?" Verlander was fine but it was getting into his head. "Why am I not throwing as hard as I usually do" he had to be thinking. It was a total mind trick. Verlander lasted 6 innings. He gave up 3 runs, 2 of which were unearned because of Verlander's own 2-run throwing error. Verlander had made an error in game 1, also. Personally, I think that was kind of cheesy on the part of Tony La Russa. It's impossible to know whether that little trick made any difference. But, nonetheless, Verlander was 0-2 as the Tigers' ace in the 2006 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Love your videos- But I Would like to see footwork on all these pitchers. Very important part of delivery we could learn from seeing. Keep videos coming. Thanks. Go Bucks! Go Rangers!
last warm up 2 seam fastball at 2:50...talks to pitching coach (Jeff Jones) then starts throwing his change up...holding the ball with middle and ring finger....that's the famous change up that takes the fastball at 96 or 97 to 86 or 87....and his curve is killer when its right!
![[UNCUT] ฝันรักห้วงนิทรา | EP.8 (4/4)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RDYJYiDwsj0/mqdefault.jpg)
The guy is moving 50% at the beginning of the bullpen session and that ball is still flying out of his arm. The effortless velocity is insane 🤯
I'm glad the fans are respecting what they see. Verlander is a class act, and seeing an arm like that work up close must be awesome.
Andrew Joseph yeah I went to an mlb game and these trashy girls were flirting with the pitcher and distracting him while he was trying to practice just cause they wanted a ball. Like tf
Well, this was before ver landed became really good when he joined the astros. I swear the astros have some secret
Fried Koalas Verlander was disgusting before he joined the astros HOF player even before
Bruno mars yeah but he got even better when with the astros. Why do you think he got even more popular after he joined the astros? Pretty sure is spin rate got better too.
He was better before. Cy Young, Triple Crown and an MVP. 2011 was his best year so this is the year right after. There's no way a pitcher at 35 who is already a first ballot Hof is gonna be better than at 25-30 that's just ridiculous.
8 Years Later, listening to this starting lineup, holy hell the Red Sox were stacked.
"TALENT:: the ability to make something really difficult look effortless~"
@Based Core ''bite me'' look it up
Sonny talent is just natural skill, nothing about making something “look effortless”
@@youunfriendlyoutlaw4691 Natural skill would make something that looks hard, seem easy
Hard Work*
@@youunfriendlyoutlaw4691 could say the same to hard work lmao
Sound of the pitch impacting the leather glove.....*ORGASMIC*
Kavalan ... i was a catcher in a men’s senior league. We had a pitcher that threw a heavy ball. I would take hairspray and coat the palm and pocket. It would make the fastball sound crazy with a huge snap
Kavalan
, your comment gave me goosebumps. Guess you had to live it to appreciate it
I am always amazed by these behind the pitcher POV’s. The showcasing of their accuracy only indicates how talented you have to be to play at this level.
The first pitch was so smooth and right down the pipe. I was hypnotized from the start.
I don't think anyone knew how good Verlander would be for how long he has been. 2019 and he's still a maniac.
Yeah, he had signs of declining and then he turned back into a complete stud.
He’s actually even better than he was when younger
I think Verlander came back to life once he got with Brent Strom the Astros pitching coach. Cole got better as well.
Justin Verlander is a one man bullpen, he has every pitch in his arsenal, arguable the best fastball and changeup in the Majors, and can throw with force into the 8th or even 9th inning. If the Tigers win the World Series Verlander will win the Cy Young Award in 2012
idk why but these videos are fun to watch I'm so fascinated by pitching and the way these guys can make the ball move
I used to be too I used to be obsessed with making the ball break but all it is is just spinning the ball.
That's literally almost all it is.
Just take a cue ball and spin it it's the same thing with the fastball curve slider change split cut blah blah blah just spin it the way you want it to go.
The catchers even snapping Justins glove on the throw back, wow !
Camera position is perfect with his release point, can clearly see the breaks in the ball. Amazing stuff.
0:22 "watch your language."
Verlander - "FUCK"
0:22
Magpie thx
Announcer- "Fifth Watch your language"
Verlander- "Fuck"
I just caught that.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
srgfowler aaaa
These videos are amazing, thanks for uploading them. Great angle.
this is mesmerizing. i love that just over the shoulder angle, they should do that during broadcasts.
amazing shots! Thanks for uploading!!
I've always wanted this spot at a game to see the speed and breaks up close but this is as good as it gets. Verlander is a Machine, I went back to certain pitches so many times this video took close to 25 mins to watch.
Thanks for the incredible footage - Subscribed.
dude starts the game throwing 95.....then by the 8th inning he hits 98 mph regularly. can pretty much bet you wont ever see another verlander
Yordano Ventura throws bullpens at 94mph, and can top at at 102mph on the 6th inning with 79 pitches. It's incredible considering he's 6'0/180lbs
Well, it's a shame Ventura is dead now
DTOM 1776 you do realize Carlos Martinez throws 95 through the game and in the 9th he hits 101 at a consistent 99
and no one talks about him... efortless, near-safe mechanics and a+ ofspeed ptches
DTOM 1776 that’s not unique plenty of guys have done it and will do it in the future
This camera angle gives me a great appreciation of how amazing it is that these guys can hit the catchers target so accurately. Not easy to do from 60 feet away, with stuff that has great movement.
60ft 6 in
I’m a pitcher myself and if you practice a lot it’s not making it look easy it become easy thanks for the appreciation tho!
Even the catcher can throw the ball fast. Jesus!
Yeah but not unbelievably fast
There are some defensive catchers with a serious cannon of an arm that can hit over 90 mph from their knees. That's how Kenley Jansen earned a spot as a pitcher. Hes originally a catcher.

8:10 tell me.thats not just satisfying as
These Fenway bullpen videos are the best!!!!
MLB games should have an angles like this
That would be awesome
For real...
1 year later still no drone. 🙁
Impossible
The should look for better angle views to watch the game it make it better like the nfl and nba
Would love to see one of these angles w Maddox
Man I can’t wait for next season!!!!
I remember this game. I was there. His first to pitches were jimmy jacked and then he settled in and got a no hitter. Great game!!
Love this video. Verlander's my favorite pitcher.
Watching him with the tigers was electric! The first game I watched him pitch he took a no hitter into the 8th and the first couple innings it seemed like he wasn’t throwing his fastball with max effort and still throwing easy 96-97 and then the game got later and one of his last pitches was 102! One of the best in this era for sure!
Nice! You always get a great view, Thanks!
Saw him a couple weeks ago in spring training, he was throwing 96 with ease, looked consistent and sharp. He still has it.
damn he throws like 90 pitches just for his bullpen
That's JV's most underrated trait in my opinion. He's fresh forever as long as he's not injured. It's not a saying, but like in Boxing and Running, he's got an Iron Arm like a Chin or Lung. JV is the only pitcher to reach 102 pitching 8 innings in, and he's reached 100 or 101 on at least 15 occasions. The reason I know this? Verlander came from my school, Old Dominion and I have to pride him every chance I get.
I would easily smash those pitches
@@vicepresidentmikepence889 lol
That’s because he gets better as he goes.. ever notice that he throws faster in the 7-8th over the 1-5?
He not throwing full gas on these warmup pitches either, maybe on a few here and there but not all.
it's honestly so satisfying to watch
that's friggin awesome man I sure can remember the feeling of throwing pitches off the baseball line and trying to put my pitches where the mit was. hes a damn good pitcher
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
That changeup I swung at it twice watching the video
When I see Verlander in this session of bullpen it remember me the movie For Love Of The Game and there's an scene exactly like this pre the game of the movie when the pitcher is talking with the manager about who's gonna catch him in the game and he wanted to ''Goss''
My arms hurting just watching this
Work out. Wimp.
@@thisjustin7492 called sarcasm “wimp”
This is some really cool video, gotta check out the others!
Incredible Footage and Verlander makes it look so easy
One of the best mechanics in the game
I miss playing baseball. Used to love it as a kid
I miss those tiger teams. Miggy, Verlander, sherzah, feilder
it would be cool to see it from the catcher's view
EROCTHEEDITOR ujujjuujju
EROCTHEEDITOR uuuuuujuuuuujuuuju
That's probably forbidden by the teams.
They have it. And it’s quite intimidating.
EROCTHEEDITOR it looks twice as fast
the last one is perfect
Cool how even in warm ups he is painting the corners, He doesn't use the middle of the plate.
Rather watch this than the actual game, pretty cool.
A man truly blessed!
Amazing control and speed
So smooth and effortless looking.
I can't wait for a full season with him on the Astros
the man Cy Young winner this upcoming year.
Feynk So far.. 4-0 with a 1.36 ERA🙌🙌
Anthony Thomas
I know, it's amazing.
should be 5-0, thanks Ken *#$*in Giles
Cy Young number 2
Very great season
it looks so beautiful to see him pitch. i wish i could play catch with him
2:30 was straight gas
It's so beautiful...
Catcher's throwing is also fast
i yuta Faster than patcher maybe?
well ya bc he is a catcher and they have good arms
The soothing sound of a ball hitting a glove 🤗
What a control.
Learn english bruh
The catcher throws harder from his knees than I can with a crow hop.
A thing of beauty
Who’s still here
I WAS AT THAT GAME it was the first time i went to fenway park. im from canada so i was happy :)
I still don't know how anyone ever hit such filthy stuff. JV is truly amazing.
That first pitch was unbelievable...
YES! First to comment!
I love this one.... This guy is a beast.
Thank you for the upload
The control these guys have is insane.. What's better to see? A 3 point specialist, or a guy like Justin Verlander hitting his spot everytime
They make it look effortless
Hey this was on my birthday!
He has the best control out of any pitcher in the mlb atm
You are the best
I wish I had that control
the control..wow
that breaking ball was sick
I played high level baseball and could turn a straight 98mph fastball into a 400 plus foot homer very often. But Verlander is a special talent with so much movement on his fastball you are lucky to square it up. Nobody sits on him.
nice angle of this bullpen session man :-D
So talent man
Lock for Hall of Fame. MVP, 2 Cy Youngs, World Series Champ. Stud pitcher.
Tonightttt we areeeee younggggg
hahaha, the first 30 pitches or so looked easy to hit. then he started showing the real stuff. WOW. never mind.
Especially the view at the 7:57 mark. Was a sudden woah there he goes.
Tell that to the whole entire World Series lineup of the San Francisco giants... lol. Verlander gave up how many runs??
This is so cool
Professional baseball player. Very impressive.

I love the game.
This Uzzi Joe heart my comment cuh
Damn how many pitches he throw in a bullpen!
Fenway’s got great seats close to the bullpen. I hope others will post more videos like this one.
His accuracy is nuts!
What a cool angle. Man you can really see the ball break.
His command is otherworldly
holy shit i wish i had his accuracy....
Baseball needs to change their televised view to this. Then I would watch
What a camera angle!
Anybody else notice the catcher at 12 seconds lol
That glove snap is frightening.
looks so easy to hit from here verse standing at the plate
great movements

100 percent pure pitcher..thumbs up!..
Verlander won a World Series ring & 2 Golden Globes in the same year. It is good to be Verlander.
He never won a gold glove mate
