@@Optuhmistthat’s right, his first few seasons in the league he threw almost exclusively fastballs. occasionally he’d throw a little wrinkle slider or cutter, idk what you’d call it, to keep them off his fastball.
As a fellow short man i by default am team Billy, his being somehow developed by throwing with his opposite hand while dominant broken makes me jealous I couldn’t have had the same happen
Apparently Wagner would be a nobody in today’s game because all the pitchers “throw harder and with more movement” than he did. Or maybe they’re just showing juiced up readings now 🤔.
Billy was such a pleasure to watch. He will always be my favorite Astro.
Hurts throwing arm
"No problem, I've got another one"
Dude just casually drops 90mph sliders in there. 😂😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember when the rumors came out that he was developing a slider and the whole league started groaning noooo. 😅😂
Billy just threw gas. For 16 years. Second best closer of all time imo.
Third. Hoffman.
@@davissae
Certainly debatable. I was never a Hoffman guy, although his stats were fantastic.
@@davissae Trevor has longevity, Wagner has a better peak. And then there’s the Sandman.
A fucking DOG.
Billy Billy Philly Dilly
I miss hearing those guys on the call. No matter the situation at end of the game I had to see Billy pitch. My nickname for him was "curtains".
That’s a great nickname I’m surprised hasn’t been taken yet.
4:01 is this even possible; a 90mph slider breaking INTO the zone that causes you to miss it by a foot WOW
We’ll look at deGOAT now lol
Crazy to say it just “slides” right in there at 90. WOW! I wished my fastballs were 90 LOL
He learned how to throw the slider from Randy Johnson when Johnson was on the Astros. Once he refined it it was almost unhittable

Billy Wagner is a HALL OF FAMER
Lidge taught him that slider. Nasty.
Wags needs to be in the HOF
He will.
God I loved Billy Wagner.
Why?
やっぱりアストロズの頃が一番だな。最後のバッターが松井か～懐かしい。
これで元々右利きってのが恐ろしい…
Billy "The Flamethrower" Wagner!
I remember watching this game just randomly and it ended up being what it was. Great bullpen no-no.
my right ear be like 🧐
billy is my baseball coach
Lucky you! That's awesome! Soak in as much knowledge from him as you can
Listen to him.
Billy is the only player I would want to meet someday.
@@leakyjeep5.9 Shit I still haven't met him and I'm related to him
Dude throws fuckin gas and is so dialed with accuracy
Unlike Chapman
You gotta love how JD and Bill Brown keep mentioning that there have been no hits even though most don't mention it due to the superstition.
jermster17 while a pressure situation, it’s not as much pressure as when a single pitcher is going for the no-no.
his fastball teleports to the plate
Wagner💪💪💪
Did Billy always pitch from the stretch without anyone on base?
I believe so
Yes
There was a year when he was with the Mets where he did a full wind up. 06 or 07? If you look, you can find the footage of him doing it.
Always pitched from the stretch.

How is anyone getting around on 100 mph to even put wood on the ball
Alexander Butler that’s why they get paid very well lol
They are pros
@@joeysbestfriend2614 doesn't matter how good you are... hitting a 100 mph fast ball is one of the most difficult feats in all of sports.
@g-mancollections5264 Elaborate please though...
astros beating the yankees..nothing new here

ランディジョンソンみたいなスライダー
Yep
