Best part of every breakdown is the pitcher overlay. I know it is a bit of work to get right, but keep doing it. They are fantastic, and showcase just how hard it is to hit in the MLB.
That overlay is the most useful visualization of a pitcher’s arsenal I’ve seen. Especially in this case, where you really show exactly why the change has been effective. If someone wants to talk tome about Heaney, I’ll ask them if they’ve seen this video first.
@@adamjenkins190 it really shows how cool this sport is. In a split second the best of hitters evaluate how the pitch is going out, the slight movement it is making and of it is worth it to swing. I know a lot of people who disrespect baseball for being boring or whatever else. However, it is probably one of the most technical sports out there. So many intricacies, from the analytics in the office to the adjustments on the field. It is more like chess than most other sports.
If watching this breakdown makes you think that, if you ever get the chance to go to a MLB game and sit directly behind the plate. You'll be amazed that the hitters even see the ball, let alone hit it.
One of the best breakdowns in awhile. The highlight was a bunted triple, super cool. Along with the pitch overlays and pitch breakdowns at the end, 9/10 why a non baseball watcher enjoys this channel
"If you're new to baseball...." this is why I love Jomboy, I am learning so much from these breakdowns. Entertaining sure. Funny, of course. But most importantly these breakdowns are teaching tools for baseball. And I love 'em.
Goddamn Jomboy, you are a treasure. I'm a big baseball fan, I know how all this works, but actually getting to see it laid out like that and knowing that you're introducing and informing new fans... We don't deserve you man.
Absolutely LOVE the breakdown-within-the-breakdown breakdown at the end. As a Dodger fan I know our pitching staff works magic on throwaways and finally getting a real glimpse into that just makes it that much more enjoyable throughout the season.
Great vid on pitch breakdown. Heard Slider for so long and didn't know the pitch. Learned Tunneling too. Just really great to be educated. Thank you. much.
This is by far one of the best breakdowns. I haven't seen anyone else doing similar analysis on the pitch change. This is why you never stops being a student of baseball! Great stuff!!
Love this depiction of how the interplay of pitches is sometimes more powerful than the variety. Fastball and slider look identical until half way to the plate, and by then it's too late for the hitter to decide what it is. Brilliant stuff.
The actual thing in the title of video was only till minute three, was almost tempted to leave once I'd seen but I'm glad I stayed that was an incredible breakdown. You guys keep crushing it.
Pitch breakdown was legit. Love the explanation and the common sense approach to addressing how his pitch release makes such a huge difference. The fact that the pitches look the same for so long even as the ball goes to the plate... wild.
That was a bit of a wild game. Other than the unnecessary fielding error here, the Mets got a couple of homers off of Heaney. Someone must've told him, "Don't get mad, get strikeouts" because that's what he did that game. The Mets made the Dodgers fight to keep that go-ahead run in the 7th.
All three games were pretty nuts, but you gotta figure games between the two best teams in the NL are going to be nail-biters. I assume at some point they'll meet in the postseason.
i quite literally only watch and follow baseball thru your videos and im not even that die hard of a fan just goes to show how 1) entertaining 2) knowledgeable you are to keep me coming back!!!!
Awesome breakdown, wouldn’t have noticed that but damn, when you have a fraction of a second to notice this stuff and it’s coming at you at 80+mph , I have no clue how these players can do it.
Damn Jimmy, as a Dodger fan I almost skipped this breakdown having watched the bunt turned triple live. The 7 minute length made wonder what you could be breaking down on a play you’d usually do in about 2 minutes. I’m so glad I watched. I think you’re gonna have to put together a separate breakdown series on pitching. The actual focus of the video, why Heaney is suddenly a completely different pitcher, was gold. It is, reduced to the essence, simply the ability for a hitter to identify his curveball on release vs his slider. Even for longtime baseball fans, even knowing he’s changed his primary pitch, that’s really great stuff. I didn’t tie it to the batter’s ability to recognize what was thrown. Great insight!
Man, I love the explanations about pitching. So good. Keep providing that content! It makes me watch baseball with more interest and more understanding.
Great video as always. We need more of this type of analysis during broadcasts! Let’s be honest, baseball is boring af if you don’t understand the game within the game, that’s what we all love about baseball. It seems like too many broadcasts are trying to avoid scaring off newer fans by “keeping things simple” but it’s just boring. This is what will get more people into baseball
Exactly! As someone who is new to baseball understanding pitch type, pitch framing, defensive cut-offs and other measures is what makes the game fascinating.
As a longtime Angels' fan, Heaney's ability to be so good and so bad at the same time always mystified me. He's clearly a talented guy and hate to see him go but it just seemed like he was never going to figure everything out. Glad someone did though and he's turned it around. That split between the fastball and curve was so obvious he might as well have been tipping his pitches. Fantastic breakdown
As much as I enjoyed the breakdown, I kept getting more upset with the Angels the longer it went. This goes a long way to explaining why we haven't developed good pitching (with maybe just a couple exceptions) in years. Clearly someone from the Yankees did this same type of analysis Jomboy does here, and now the Dodgers (of all teams) are reaping the benefits. Frustrating.
lOVED THIS breakdown. You literally are the best! I had no clue you could make a slider and a curve come out your hand the same way but break differently at the sametime. That is really reallly cool
Freddie always does that to Nimmo when Nimmo gets to 1st, now it's like a cute little thing between the two of them. Can't remember the 1st time Freddie did it, but it's been a couple years.
this was amazing. great work jimmy, the breakdown at the end was fascinating. as a very very armchair baseball fan ( I only watch your breakdowns :D) im learning a lot
I must say that I have never watched a full baseball game. And don’t really even enjoy baseball that much. But I watch every single one of your breakdowns. They are just absolutely incredible.
This was such a great video explanation for a non-baseball fan. Yeah, not even a baseball fan in the slightest but I watch your channel all the time. Your commentary is just so damn entertaining. Keep up the good work!!!
I love that breakdown at the end of WHY he is so much more effective. I normally look at how much movement and velocity a guy gets. I had never heard of tunneling before but that makes so much sense.
Hey man love the whole superimposed baseballs in each pitch and the side by side comparison so awesome to watch it like this opens a whole new world of interesting in this awesome sport!! Your breakdown is easy to digest even with the graphs and everything thanks for putting in the time! Can’t forget the lip reading either keep it 100 jomboy!!!
Incredible work again, breaking down and explaining mechanics and statistics like this. And you illustrate it in a way that any casual observer can understand. God tier content.
Jomboy, I hope you know how good you are at what you do and how much it is enjoyed and appreciated. I am a British sports fan who really knew very little about baseball until lockdown, but started watching you and feel I have developed a grasp of its personalities, history, technicalities and dreaded “unwritten rules” You went from the humour of the play, to what he should have done and then looked at the detailed technicalities of his change in pitching style. I know that I and most of the viewers will be able to remember this content for a long time. I would be able to explain why Heaney’s ERA has come down. 2 years ago I didn’t know what the letters ERA stood for. I am a teacher by profession and this was a brilliant “lesson” which any teacher would have been very proud to have delivered to their students
I loved the Drift off the grass Note... You Nailed it!!!! Did the old Tom Seaver erra Sign guy have Grandkids to keep up his work. I miss the old days.
Thank you so much for showing the shift of the strike zone. I think there's lots of times when that doesn't happen and the booth guys make calls about whether the "EQC tracer" (I assume that's a local sponsor for Mariner's broadcasts) shows it a strike or not.
Great breakdown on Heaney's switch from the curveball to the slider. With the breakdown it's easy to see why its a more effective combination with the fastball.
Best part of every breakdown is the pitcher overlay. I know it is a bit of work to get right, but keep doing it. They are fantastic, and showcase just how hard it is to hit in the MLB.
Kinda like the graph better but no complaints on either one 🤓

it definitely puts everything into perspective and makes it easier to understand the “why” of pitching success
Totally agree, MLB needs to throw these in once or twice a game
Incredible analysis of how his pitches have changed. I haven't seen that anywhere else. You are helping keep baseball alive.
That really was awesome to see the in air pitch position comparison

Nice breakdown. Hopefully Jomboy media hires you on full time after your internship
squandered opportunity if they don't! ;)
Isn’t he literally the CEO of Jomboy, and the channel is based on his name?
@@kevinpucheu6003 good thing your not in the outfield!!
Guessing alot would go over your head!
i know that during the floorball championship they did this week Chris Rose was referring to jomboy as their intern
I’m so confused internship he’s been doing this for years???
After watching that breakdown I have no idea how anyone ever hits a pitch.
It's 95% guessing.....
Just that simple.

My old man always likes to say its the hardest thing to do in any sport.

@@MarkB-vp9ki I've heard that to hit fastballs you basically have commit and start swinging the moment the ball comes out of their hand
One of the best breakdowns in awhile.
The highlight was a bunted triple, super cool. Along with the pitch overlays and pitch breakdowns at the end, 9/10 why a non baseball watcher enjoys this channel
It was not a triple. More like a three-base error.
Yea. I've never really watched baseball. But Baseball Bits, Baseball Doesnt Exist, and Jomboy are amazing and I watch all of their content.
Don’t watch baseball anymore but I do watch jomboy
It should be a single and 2 errors
"If you're new to baseball...." this is why I love Jomboy, I am learning so much from these breakdowns. Entertaining sure. Funny, of course. But most importantly these breakdowns are teaching tools for baseball. And I love 'em.
Only thing is it’s not a triple.. it’s a single and an error
Thanks for saving the people of Ukraine by changing your profile pic bro.
@@anthonygarcia799 double and an error
This is one my favorite breakdowns in a long time! The curve/slider overlay was awesome.
Goddamn Jomboy, you are a treasure. I'm a big baseball fan, I know how all this works, but actually getting to see it laid out like that and knowing that you're introducing and informing new fans... We don't deserve you man.
I appreciate the overall breakdown and analytics on something I wouldn't have otherwise been aware of, but now I know and knowing is half the battle.
I cannot express how much I enjoy the pitching breakdowns
Absolutely LOVE the breakdown-within-the-breakdown breakdown at the end. As a Dodger fan I know our pitching staff works magic on throwaways and finally getting a real glimpse into that just makes it that much more enjoyable throughout the season.
Was stunned when Heaney did this. Also knew the Mets would lose when they only managed to score the one run in the inning.
I wonder if Jomboy will do a Trumpet breakdown on yesterday's save by ED
@@RevengeAvenger He can use "ED" as a seamless segue into his Roman advertising message...
@@Praetoriusify 😂😂🤣
The win surprised ya didn’t it?
Pitchers are crappy fielders, because they're pitchers.

Great vid on pitch breakdown. Heard Slider for so long and didn't know the pitch. Learned Tunneling too. Just really great to be educated. Thank you. much.
You didn't know what a slider was until now?

This is by far one of the best breakdowns. I haven't seen anyone else doing similar analysis on the pitch change. This is why you never stops being a student of baseball! Great stuff!!
This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Absolutely love the breakdown of Heaney. That was very cool to see.
Jomboy had fun making this video. Love the sound effects lol
Love this depiction of how the interplay of pitches is sometimes more powerful than the variety. Fastball and slider look identical until half way to the plate, and by then it's too late for the hitter to decide what it is. Brilliant stuff.
I love when you do the side by side breakdowns and analysis. Super cool to watch your skillset grow in that space!
Love that pitching analysis in the second half of this video!
I really enjoy hearing you talk about pitching. The end of this breakdown was much better than the beginning. Great work!
Love all the overlay work! 💕 Can really tell why batters are having such a difficult time with him this season 👍
The actual thing in the title of video was only till minute three, was almost tempted to leave once I'd seen but I'm glad I stayed that was an incredible breakdown. You guys keep crushing it.
Don't know if it's everyones cup of tea but man I love the intricacies of the pitch mix stuff that you put in these occasionally.
Pitch breakdown was legit. Love the explanation and the common sense approach to addressing how his pitch release makes such a huge difference. The fact that the pitches look the same for so long even as the ball goes to the plate... wild.
It's called tunneling and it's probably the most important thing for a pitcher

It's so weird seeing his middle in 93 mph fastball get so many swings and misses.
It's a good thing Trae Turner wasn't the runner. He'd be called out for interference.
except in that instance the ball makes contact with Trae
@@candidfob8423 the ball hit Marte
an RLI call here wouldn't have been wrong, but I think the no-call was the better choice here.
still would've been better for Marte to run in the lane, then no one would even have to think about RLI
You can also take the quality of throw into account, since this was already a hail mary attempt at an out.
More career breakdowns, please. They're amazing to watch.
i quite literally only watch and follow baseball thru your videos and im not even that die hard of a fan

Fun fact: if a pitcher makes a run-scoring error, it is still *not* an earned run
In other words, it doesn’t count to his ERA
Lol yeah very true because he is part of the defense at that point
@@JayD73
Weird technicality isn’t it? Lol
@Rohit Srivastava so how is the hit ruled? It can't be ruled a triple if there was a throwing error at 1st. Would it just be reached on an error?
