- On May 3, 2019, Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks pitched a "Maddux," defined as a complete-game shutout on fewer than 100 pitches. Against the division rival Cardinals, Hendricks tossed just 81 pitches to complete the 4-0 Cubs win.
In this episode of The Breakdown, presented by CDW, hear from Hendricks, catcher Willson Contreras, pitching coach Tommy Hottovy and associate pitching, catching and strategy coach Mike Borzello as they walk you through the approach before and during the game. They discuss everything from the scouting report to pitch sequencing to how Hendricks has mastered the art of pitch tunneling and how it all came together in this historic performance.
"It was just one of those days where everything fell into place and everything worked. You don't get a lot of those so you really need to relish those moments." -Kyle Hendricks

Most underrated and underappreciated pitcher in the majors. Just because he doesn't throw upper 90's doesn't mean he isn't amazing. I actually prefer his way because he is precise with his craft
Amen to your comment!#FlyTheW #GOCUBSNATION⚾❤⚾💙⚾❤⚾💙⚾❤⚾💙⚾❤⚾💙⚾❤⚾
I was puzzled when the pitcher with more W’s than anyone else in the majors ... wasn’t an All-Star?! Crazy!
@@KooperLyn wins and losses aren’t a good stat
@@jonesbbqfootmassage2430 oh sorry! For some reason I was thinking that the W’s mean something. My bad. What do I know about baseball?
Kyle has historically achieved stats such as career ERA and innings pitched per outing that rank him among the best ever ... and again, how many mid-season classics?
Someone like Kyle has always been a silent factor. So quiet about taking care of business that most (likely yourself included) folks don’t know who he is and what he is accomplishing historically.
Best to you! Happy stats!!
Couldn’t have said that better myself.
This is the coolest Breakdown ever, so many Jedi mind tricks used. Such a meticulous use of analysis, and prior knowledge.
This just proves how baseball is more of a mental sport than just a physical one. Hendo is just built for baseball and it shows.
90% mentality, the other 50% is physical
crazy pitching IQ dude is brilliantly detailed in his performances
I have watched Kyle Hendricks pitch 7 times over the past 5 years and he so precise on his locations. He is one of the most under rated players in the league. He should have won the 2016 cy young award.
Maybe if he had a no hitter that year he would have been!
Underrated player/performance
When Kyle Hendricks is on, he is one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. Dude is so underrated.
15:03 I like how the Cubs have had 3 of the 4 pitchers to throw the fewest amount of pitches in a complete game shutout since 1991. Thats just a cool stat for the Cubs tbh in my opinion lol
They don’t tho
Um 2 of 5
@@skywastaken7300 RWB Team is correct, they said "have had", Rich Harden played for the Cubs in 2008 (had a 1.77 era in 12 games), and Kyle Hendricks and Jon Lieber were both on the Cubs when they threw those games
The closes pitcher to Maddox.
Whew! That was an education! The preparation a pitcher goes through is unbelievable! Love Kyle. With his laid back personality (does anything upset him?) he'll live to be 100! 👍🏻
How can you not love the professor?. A great guy and a real student of his game. Even better that it was against the Cards.
never heard of this guy before but the movement on his pitchers are crazy!! I think he's got the best stuff in the majors.
Watch game 4 of the NLCS 2016 season. The professor gives a demonstration for 7 2/3 innings of brilliance.
There better be a breakdown for the Combined No-No too lol
Even though Davies is the only one still with the team.
Don't need another one of those. The Cubs followed that win with 11 straight losses. Coupled with the Brewers 10 game winning streak it triggered the Cubs sell off.
I was fortunate enough to be at this game. My wife was so confused about why it was over so fast, but it was an absolutely incredible showing of Hendricks' talent. Getting to see the thought process and mindset that he puts into his performances was really interesting to see, great video!
The change up in for a foul ball to get a strike is pitching mastery!!!
Cubs repeatedly make feature-length documentaries that ALL teams can enjoy (except maybe the Cards hahaha). This is exactly how teams should be marketing their players and exploits; videos like these will help the sport as a whole.
Between Ohtani bringing in foreign markets and making news headlines, Jomboy bringing baseball content to the masses with his featured breakdowns, and high quality productions like this, I'm very hopeful for the future of Baseball.
I brushed off Baseball until I was 23, and I'm 28 now. I missed my opportunity to see so much history being made, and am adamant about not missing out on anything else going forward.
Really cool video! I wish there were more teams willing to spend the capital on features like this.
Watched this game live, went to make some food at the beginning of the game and when it was done it was already the 5th lol. Rolled a blunt and it was the bottom of the 7th. I couldnt believe how fast that game was, it was amazing
81 pitches is the exact amount of pitches to through a 27 K true perfect game, where you strike out every hitter on 3 pitches
9 immaculate innings
The odds of that happening are 1 in 4.434 * 10^38
How about 27 first pitch outs?
@@BigChuck525. thats good, but 27 K's on 81 pitches is the dream. throwing an entire game without a strikeout is kinda disappointing
True but the same could be said for no balls in play. But it would be very impressive. But also impossible with the batter knowing that pretty much every pitch will be in the strike zone.
The movement on his 2 seam fastball is absolutely fucking insane.
I'm a Reds fan but this dude's break is amazing.
Most underrated pitcher
Go Cubs

Might wanna change your pfp
@@josephtaylor2085 no
What kyle did that day so absolutely special but after watching this it makes it even more special.
What a great in depth breakdown. Thanks for this!
Breakdowns are by far my favorite videos on this channel.
This was Dope.
The actual event and this video covering it.
These vids are the BEST
Great video with great insight, very well put together
Love these!!! Keep it up
This is done so well, not only in the editing and cinematography but also how the story is incredibly well thought out and mixed with the knowledge of the staff and players behind the scenes.
Thank you for this amazing piece of baseball media Cubs.
I enjoy the X's and O's breakdown. Baseball is so intricate!
these vids help out so much on like the approach
I’ll be looking at Hendricks differently when he pitches against the Reds tonight! Awesome video
I watched that game, nice breakdown. Having said that, wow this edit knocked it out of the park.. err.. pitched a shutout. Great production value here, wonderful watch.
plz upload more breakdown videos !
I absolutely love them its like watching a mini documentary
I love these. You could put one together about any ordinary game (preferably a W) and I’d enjoy it.
Super interesting video, I had no idea how much research went into this.
Definitely underrated. Continually snubbed in All-Star vote.
Really well done!!
I was at this game along the first base line. The best-pitched game I have seen with my own two eyes.
This is my favorite baseball breakdown video of all time, bar none.
Definitely in my top 5 of cub pitchers
AMAZING
Wow! This is baseball at it’s best!
Awesome performance will never forget it. Hendricks has helped my fantasy teams over the years and hoping for many more
Oh man the Zobrist catch call made me tear up
I’m learning this right now in High School
Great job with this by the Cubs media department! Super interesting
I think being a pitcher is one of the coolest positions in all sports. a lot of that game is decided by you as the pitcher. You are the captain of that ship and it's up to you to help keep it afloat. Seems like the Cubs often have good pitchers. I'm not exactly a Cubs fan but I'm still glad they finally won their World Series. I probably could have been playing on the opposite team and I still would have been glad
Hes my favorite pitcher of all time.
More of these breakdowns please. Don’t trade this man. PS!!!!
Nice. His stats this season are actually super good if you count everything except his games vs the Braves.
Legendary game.. I was watching this with a 6 pack of budweisers.
I REALLY hope he comes back from that injury and has a 2nd half to his career
My favorite team any day bro
this is a very well edited video give your guy a raise lmao
thanks kyle
CUBSSSS I LOVEE YOUU!!!!
won 8 straight starts this year, so good
It is because he is one of the best right now
this breakdown lasted longer than the game did
I was there for it👀
Love me some Kyle
I don't usually watch the players talking about their approach to playing. I've found this enlightening. It kills me to see Rizzo and Zobrist, knowing they won't be back.
I saw the entire breakedown live
Honestly, even though he’s allegedly a horrible person off the field, Trevor Bauer has a lot of really detailed explanations of pitch tunneling on his channel.
Bauer is definitely a piece of work but his TH-cam channel does have some absolute gold on it.
Really well made and edited. At first couldn't stand the tech conceit since it was kind of like that cheesy TED, psuedo-intellectual, vibe but it was so well done and the content was so good that I have to admit it was awesome.
The Cubs need to do a breakdown or Arrieta’s first no-hitter. Wild love to see what Jake and Miguel were thinking that game.
Maddux-like. Im not much of an NL spectator, but id tune in to watch him pitch.
imagine having to walk back to the dugout as a big league hitter after being gassed by 87
this just goes to show you don't need to be a 90+ mph pitcher to be a major leaguer, its all about consistency and doing your research as well as how you micro manage every pitch you throw. It's like preparing for a test, you study and everything should add up, if not you improvise.
Mind Blowing. Kyle Hendricks got ripped off so many times, All Star, etc. kills me. But great video, thanks.
I like the Cubs
The Hendricks trade and the Arrietta trade are lore round here.
What do you think it will take for Kyle to make the MLB HOF? 250wins? 2500K? sub 3.40 ERA? He's about to turn 32....could do another 8 years. Look at Jamie Moyer and Rich Hill (both ex-Cubs btw)
Hendricks!
FINALLY A BREAKDOWN
DONT TRADE BRYANT PLZZZZ
to late :(
He’s damn good
This is some Yoda level mind tricks here
I think this video really shows why they call him "professor" he doesn't pitch to overpower, he pitches smart. It's a very effective, very underrated pitching style these days.
Love this. I hate blindly watching sports. It just makes me sleepy
You better stay with bud.....us fans need your talent in the rotation even though we've lost a lot of great players
This is a long shot... but does anyone know the music playing when they're discussing the strikeout of Goldschmidt (starts at about 11:08)?
Can the next one please be dexters game 7 lead off homer?
OMG! Please, someone tell me the name of the song playing when they’re talking about the Goldschmidt AB. Starting at around 11:30 and especially at 12:10. Please!!!
Great content. Beautifully put together. Maybe the cubs can trade their digital media team and get some top prospects back
he really is a professor
Similar to Hyun Jin Ryu, Hendricks is under appreciated simply because he doesn’t have upper 90’s fastball and a high K/9, which doesn’t make sense because there is so much more to pitching that those two. Don’t get me wrong, seeing high heat is satisfying and entertaining, but we musn’t neglect this part of pitching as well.
Cool
💪
Who here would like to see a breakdown of Kerry Woods 20 strike out game against the Astros? I know I would love to see that for sure.
How about Jed hoyer and Tom ricketts breakdown the disaster of July 30th
Coming from a Cardinal: This man is easily my favorite pitcher. Watched this game live, and although frustrating, it was an absolute masterpiece by Hendricks.
It's a mix and match game
The Professor took the Redbirds to school that day.
W I D E H E N D O
That’s why he’s called the professor. This seems like a lot of work with the computer.
lol, i was at that game and thought: "hm, 55 pitches through 6... I'd better not say something and jinx it"--sure enough, my superstition was rewarded
dude was literally greg maddux
the slowpitch god himself
it sucks how hard hes fallen
81 pitch complete game shutout with 0K’s is 10X better than a 110 complete game shutout with 15K’s
Just please tell us that you're not giving him all this attention and hype just to get good money for him and trade him off too
