I know that everybody calls his "sinker" a sinker, but it really doesn't act like one...Kluber's "sinker" runs in like a 2-seamer, and typically belt high sinkers that run across the plate are called homeruns...
It's kind of hard to grasp just how much movement that breaking ball has. According to some PitchFX measurements I've seen, it has 9.4 inches of horizontal movement on average. And that doesn't even count the vertical movement, that's just straight-up x-axis. Crazy.
jonathan wright a Slider is a “breaking ball” (curveball, slider, screwball) where the ball “breaks”. Hits a peak in the air and moves vertically or laterally. A cutter is in between a slider and a fastball in terms of average velocity but Is a variation of a fastball. Cut-fastball. A cutter runs in the way you throw it but doesn’t “break”. A cutter is usually faster than a slider but a cutter and slider and be used almost interchangeably by some pitchers. Like Jake Arrieta and now Cole Hamels. :)
Location and movement play a big part as well. Kluber's 4-seamer can be a bit "flat" if you know what I mean. When we think of movement on a fastball, we typically think of sinkers, and rightfully so. That said, take a look at some of the better 4-seamers in the game: Cole, Scherzer, Verlander, even Charlie Morton these days. Those fastballs DANCE.
The grip is the same with two fingers along the narrow part of the seams. RHP it will break in on a RHB. Much of the variation in the pitch is due to varying finger pressure.
+MVPFLF You can call it a slurve if you want but it's simply his curve. His 2 seam fastball is really tough on lefties because it backs up a few inches.
Kluber's said it's simply a "breaking ball". So technically we're all wrong in his eyes. He won't call it either but it's all in healthy disagreements between us I suppose...
His sinker is absolutely filthy. Reminds me so much of Doc Halladays' back in the day... but with even more juice on it!
Sean L R.I.P.
The sound when it hit the catcher's glove was so satisfying
The way that sinker moves, its just too much. One of my favorite pitches in all of baseball.
That 2 seam makes me feel so nice inside when it tails back in to the lefties.

Now this is on the Yanks.
That sinker is wicked.

I miss baseball so much
He’s the reason I was terrified of growing up to be a baseball player, as a kid you only have to worry about fastballs but those damn curves are hell
Super Queer!!!!! Oaklawn Baby Dallas,tx
Cutter probably his nastiest pitch, can use it for getting ahead or for a strikeout.
Tensa Miza I like the sinker Alot more
Masahiro Tanaka
Do Noah Syndergaard !!
He only tops at 89-90 now
then why does he even need four seam fastball???
What is the difference between a Slider and a Cutter... They look to have the same movement...?

@@MVPFLF ...Ok. But his first three pitches look the same. Lol
Cutters and sliders are very similar, same movement. But sliders have more movement than cutters. Cutters are like mini sliders.
Damn a 94-97 mph 4-seam only gets you a B- nowadays? It’s probably true. Guys are throwing HEAT now.

Can you do Madison bumgardner

U forgot his best pitch
What's the difference of a sinker and a 2 seam fastball?
#Dat Boi With Dem Vlogs And Skits A sinker has a little bit more downward movement than a 2 seam
FilthyCuck thanks
I think that sinker goes left when you are RHP and 2 seamer goes right when you are RHP
The grip is the same with two fingers along the narrow part of the seams. RHP it will break in on a RHB. Much of the variation in the pitch is due to varying finger pressure.
His stuff is nasty.
What is the stuff?
Could you do a Zack Greinki

The Slurve is a Slider.
Dude, that's definitely not a slider. Do you see the mix of vertical and horizontal break? It's a slurve.
It's actually more like a curveball than a slider, according to most pitch-tracking computer systems. Sliders just don't have that much movement.

+MVPFLF Fair enough. Whatever it is it's filthy.
My neck hurts from watching this. Filthy.
