The catcher is the player that works the hardest physically and mentally he needs to study every single player his like the qwaterback and is one of the most high paying player
On the grounds I only see the ball just before the red area and then that one one thousands of a second later when its going in the catchers mitt. Ya I would not make a good catcher as a matter a fact ill just admit this right now. There won't be, never has been, never will be, any position in baseball for me. I would try coaching tho. 😊
So true! I feel like people don't appreciate the fact that most of the time the catcher is deciding what pitches the pitcher should throw! Not only is it one of the most physically demanding positions in baseball, but also the strategy of pitch sequence and controlling base runners too! I believe it is a tie between catcher and pitcher for the most impactful player on the field
Nothing compare to this... 150 kph is the time when they release the ball... When it reaches to batsman speed drops down to 110-120...baseball it goes on 100 mph.. So speed is much more higher... That's why it's tough to hit though it is full toss..

Think how good your hand-eye coordination has to be to see the hand release, undserstand the pitch, and make contact. This is why I never agreed with steroids, they can’t solve the biggest problem for a hitter - that you have .2 seconds until the ball is past you.
@@rasing5529The MLB guys that took steroids could already handle the speed/reaction time. The steroids help them hit it farther and recover sooner. Some can improve reaction time.
a top hitter will make contact with these pitches about 70% of the time and put the ball in play. And roughly 60% of those balls he hits will be fielded for an out, leaving him with about 40% that will count as actual hits. That's how good you have to be to get a .300 average.
Barry bonds would get one pitch over the plate in MAYBE one GAME and he would hit it for a HR. During 01-04 . Oh and the pitch was many times 95+ mph up and in on his hands lol
I think catcher is the most underrated position in professional sports. This dude is responsible for catching 90+ mph baseballs consistently and also have the arm talent to throw a ball to second plate at a record time.
It's crazy because catchers are like the bottom of the totem pole for baseball positions too. Like if you have a decent arm to make the throw to 2nd and tough but aren't athletic enough to play in the field or outfield and you can't hit then you play catcher lol. But they really are under appreciated, they control the entire game from behind the plate
And he's got to be flexible enough to come out of his crouch to chase foul balls or bunts. I played every position except Pitcher and Short-stop growing up, catching was the only one that I couldn't get the hang of within one or two practices. I could not stop blinking when the batter swung.
Catchers and Hockey goalies are both highly underrated. Catchers are more appreciated then you think, if you can throw guys out and block bad pitches, it doesn't matter if you bat .200 you have a place in the majors
Excellent idea. They could just add a camera with the right lens and a glass screen and aimed over the catcher. Not too innovative, better than the zombie runner in extra innings!
Unfortunately theu will never use this angle bc those professional cameras they use cost around $200,000.

It’s take an average of .5 seconds for the ball to reach home plate in that time the player has to acknowledge the pitch make a decision and then execute. Or less than a half a second to make three decisions and then by the time you make that swing, you’re already losing .1 or .2 seconds… it’s really incredible when you think about it

Hitting a baseball is one of the most difficult things to do in sports ….coming at you 90+miles and it’s moving,sliding,curving not just straight line. Hat’s off to the both batter and pitcher, I love baseball.
I have always said this. Will probably get a lot of heat for what i say next in regards to steroids. all steroids did was allow them to hit the ball further they still had to hit a round ball with a round bat coming in at 90+ miles an hour.
@@catherineveney6293 well they play 160 games so they are going to get balls their way eventually. the thing is - you have to be ready every pitch, because you just don't know if its coming your way. it's also a big mind game and numbers and strategy game. they have to know exactly what to do with the ball if it comes... and that is based on various scenarios like which bases are occupied. anywho, i wasn't a fan, but i'm learning and liking it more.
@@nofurtherwest3474I don’t like baseball. But I do admire the pitching aspect. It’s basically a 1v1 against the batter, until the ball makes contact with the bat. I like the mental games from Pitcher to Batter.
I love this camera angle. It really puts into perspective how fast a pitch is actually coming, sometimes from a distance. It doesn't seem that fast, but when you're having to have an almost batter's view, it's really awe inspiring.
I played every position except hind catcher!!!! I have mad respect for anyone who can do that!!!! It’s serious hand eye coordination there! You’re watching the ball , the bat , the people on base, & trying to remain calm & in control the whole time!
Considering pitchers & catchers have better relationships then QBs and WRs it’s not that surprising. His job is to know his pitcher/pitchers. That means knowing speeds, angles, tendencies, all the above. Doesn’t make it easy but Catchers are trained for this.
Well the grunts just like in martial arts or a fight force you to breath and not hold your breath so you create more power and don't get gassed as quick. Pretty much any sports player, power Lifter etc does it.
@@dannygjk if you can compress a snowball enough so that it doesn't disintegrate being thrown at 95-100mph, then it is an iceball at that point and you shouldn't be throwing it

Makes me respect all parties a lot more from this angle. The thrower with that accuracy and pace. The catcher for being able to actually catch those balls. And it’s a wonder if a batter can have the reflexes to hit one of those balls.
It's a great angle to see the tail of the two seamer contrasted with the break of his off speed stuff. I have no idea how anyone can hit this level of pitching.
I vividly remember in high school when I saw my first 90mph pitch. You have a split second to make up your mind, swing and adjust to the incoming pitch. One of the hardest things in sports to do.
@Mcoth0990 the worst part is we were playing at a field without lights and it was getting dark. That 90mph pitch was hard enough to see without the added difficulty of dusk setting in.
You get that sense of speed and awe from this angle. Like how different it is to watch an F1 car from the stand compared to the car cockpit camera. They need to show this angle much more.
That’s Trevor Bauer probably heard of him getting thrown out of the mlb for a domestic violence case that he was suspended for being released by the dodgers in early January
I was a catcher in my youth. I was scared sh!tless at first. Didnt take too long to get comfortable but I wasnt the biggest of kids. I had a few tanks coming at me rounding third that made me prematurely gray......lol.😂😂
Walk up to the plate, talk trash, hear mitt being pounded Wait was that a strike? Ump: third in a row actually * I can barely see the ball before it's in the mitt lol that's insane
Deion Sanders just said the other day that he played football, basketball and baseball and that baseball is the hardest sport to play out of the three.... that ball can do some amazing things!!!
Basketball the hardest for another reason, they have to be.in shape.to run both sides ofcourt for 48 minutes, they are generally the ones in best shape, rarely see any out of shape compares to other sports
@kevinkwiatkowski7197 Nah, it's pretty much established that hockey players are the fittest team players. I don't care what level. I have never seen a fat hockey official.😄
When I was young, we used to go to the arcade batting cages down near the Jersey Shore. Their "fast ball" was ~ 60 mph, which seemed pretty fast back then. Pro-level pitching is a completely different universe. BIG props to the catchers, too, that`s a TOUGH job !
This should be the camera angle on MLB broadcasts.

Andruw Jones sawing his bat in half & still going deep to dead center is insane 😂
That slider was insane. So much movement.
Which one was a slider
@@Paul....... The 4th one and the 6th one kinda was too.
@@DankPeezy what was the third one called
@@truthseeker7322 Fork Ball. Curves towards the throwing hand.
@@DankPeezy6th one was more of a cutter but yea that slider was fuckin gross💨
Shout out to the catcher....id be ducking out the way😅

First thing I said when I saw this "respect to the catcher"
I hope he's an MLB catcher.
New found respect for any and all catchers!! 🍻👍🏾
I will no longer yell at my Red Sox anymore for striking out. Lol. That’s fast as hell
Hahaha 😂
Is that a pitcher for real..A MLB pitcher..a is it this fast in MLB..I am going to watch some MLB highlights..if this is real!! Respect to Derrick Jetter..I am soccer fan, I heard Abt Jetter though and Dominicans
@@dwaynesmith6278 that’s trevor bauer
Yooo, who’s your top 3 favorite current Red Sox players?
@@MaxThrills well. Two are gone now’ in Vazquez and Bogerats. But now it’s Devers, Verdugo, and I would go with hopefully are future that we keep in Casas
I could never even begin to think about making contact with any of those 😂😂😂😂
Just to think Barry Bonds use to send these out the park. Hand/Eye Coordination was flawless
Steroids helped as well
@@wickedwood04 awww you still crying😢
@@wickedwood04steroids don't help with hand eye coordination.
Hitting a baseball is one of the most difficult things to do in sports ….coming at you 90+miles and it’s moving,sliding,curving not just straight line. Hat’s off to the both batter and pitcher, I love baseball.
My son be hitting 80mph and he 11…
IS* the hardest thing to do in all major sports.
Love hitting
In cricket these guys are throwing the ball at 161/162 kM per hour at face length
I have always said this. Will probably get a lot of heat for what i say next in regards to steroids.
all steroids did was allow them to hit the ball further they still had to hit a round ball with a round bat coming in at 90+ miles an hour.
The older I get, the more respect I get for the MLB.. these guys are super athletes too. I didn’t think so when I was younger
Yeah standing around for hours waiting for a ball to come your way is really talented
@@catherineveney6293 well they play 160 games so they are going to get balls their way eventually.
the thing is - you have to be ready every pitch, because you just don't know if its coming your way.
it's also a big mind game and numbers and strategy game. they have to know exactly what to do with the ball if it comes... and that is based on various scenarios like which bases are occupied.
anywho, i wasn't a fan, but i'm learning and liking it more.
@@nofurtherwest3474I don’t like baseball. But I do admire the pitching aspect. It’s basically a 1v1 against the batter, until the ball makes contact with the bat. I like the mental games from Pitcher to Batter.
The top sport for hand eye coordination. Next level tier tbh
@@andrescaiced2993 i'm kinda opposite. i like to see field action. the pitching and batter 1v1 to me is kinda boring but it's interesting.
Every pitch had its own battle cry.
I love this camera angle. It really puts into perspective how fast a pitch is actually coming, sometimes from a distance. It doesn't seem that fast, but when you're having to have an almost batter's view, it's really awe inspiring.
I played every position except hind catcher!!!! I have mad respect for anyone who can do that!!!!
It’s serious hand eye coordination there! You’re watching the ball , the bat , the people on base, & trying to remain calm & in control the whole time!
Considering pitchers & catchers have better relationships then QBs and WRs it’s not that surprising. His job is to know his pitcher/pitchers. That means knowing speeds, angles, tendencies, all the above. Doesn’t make it easy but Catchers are trained for this.
Yeah staying calm is key lol ball hits dirt runner takes off ,, you panic you ain’t never lifting that ball off the ground 😂
I played every position on the baseball field no position is more challenging or important than the catcher... pitcher is second to me..
The catcher pitcher synergy is crazy, to know how each pitch is gonna break regardless of pitch location is insane
I would like to see from this angle Chapman throwing 104, Verlander 105 and so on.
His animalistic karate grunts are the scariest part!
Not funny
@@traviswilson36it wasn't supposed to be...
Do mlb pitchers make those grunt sounds in a real game? Im curious lol because that shit will throw me off
@@Ari_Adventures most of them do.
Well the grunts just like in martial arts or a fight force you to breath and not hold your breath so you create more power and don't get gassed as quick. Pretty much any sports player, power Lifter etc does it.
If I ever get in a snowball fight again I would want that guy on my team.😅😊
He’s definitely got that Elf cannon.
Snowball will just dissintegrate
@@glywnniswells9480 Nope, your hands compress that snowball till it's hard as hell. People didn't like me involved in snowball fights.
only if you want a bunch of dead neighbor kids laying around
@@dannygjk if you can compress a snowball enough so that it doesn't disintegrate being thrown at 95-100mph, then it is an iceball at that point and you shouldn't be throwing it
One hit to the knee 🦵 and it’s over

For good
Not really
@@au8363 oh brother….
You mean to the eye socket?
First ball had me on the wall
Even hear the catcher talking the pitcher up ,, Come on 😂😂😂 love that stuff
The fact that players get hit in the head/face with those pitches and don't die is remarkable
That because they have skin to soften the blow
If I ever took a pitch like that to the body I would get very emotional.
I’m pretty sure I would be bleeding internally!
Now we know why the batters are ready to fight that shit is coming in hard 😂😂😂😂
How many miles per hour he throwing?
As a non baseball guy. Seeing a baseball coming at me at even half this speed would fuck me up. 😂😂
Bro shit fucking me up and I’m not even there 😂
Try getting hit in the mouth with it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
Trevor Bauer’s indistinguishable grunt..
I love that guy.
It’s the same noise he makes while punching snatch.
😂 🥊🐈
@@ericcrabtree7404 Ask and you shall receive😅
God bless that catcher and that glove. 🙏
Legend has said. Every jutsu has weakness. And player has weakness. Every style has weakness. Every technique has weakness.
Makes me respect all parties a lot more from this angle. The thrower with that accuracy and pace. The catcher for being able to actually catch those balls. And it’s a wonder if a batter can have the reflexes to hit one of those balls.
This looks like Trevor Bauer pitching (and sounds like him) and the hitter in the red helmet is Eric Sims.
It's a great angle to see the tail of the two seamer contrasted with the break of his off speed stuff.
I have no idea how anyone can hit this level of pitching.
Baseball players have Jedi reflexes and demeanors.
Catcher is freakin amazing
settle down now lmao
Simmer Donna
Le cricketers findins this the worst ball in cricket 😂 the full toss 😂
Should've started his swing yesterday 😳🤯
Yep! The only way to be able to hit it.⚾️
Half the pitches the batter just stands there. And right down the middle.
Maybe at his practice he gets a walk.
@@Kidbucked pretty sure a lot of it is for the pitcher. It’s a lot different without someone standing at the plate.
Catcher’s are a special breed respect 🫡
I vividly remember in high school when I saw my first 90mph pitch. You have a split second to make up your mind, swing and adjust to the incoming pitch. One of the hardest things in sports to do.
Facts as a 1st baseman when I was in high school so ture
And the 1st time you just get a piece of it and foul it off you feel like you've hit a HR to win the World Series!!
@Mcoth0990 the worst part is we were playing at a field without lights and it was getting dark. That 90mph pitch was hard enough to see without the added difficulty of dusk setting in.
It's definitely a skill sport. As someone said, you have to hit a round ball with a round bat squarely.
Lol
These catchers in the MLB are catching bullets
You get that sense of speed and awe from this angle.
Like how different it is to watch an F1 car from the stand compared to the car cockpit camera.
They need to show this angle much more.
Bro that is so much heat. It's amazing what these guys can do. Pure talent. Holy shit!
That’s Trevor Bauer probably heard of him getting thrown out of the mlb for a domestic violence case that he was suspended for being released by the dodgers in early January
Amazing that hitters get 2 or 3 hits outta 10 ab's😅😅😅
So much heat I was expecting Neil to show up asking the pitcher if he wanted to become the get away drvier for a score he got coming.
That catcher got just as much skill
Indian cricketer can't be on this😂😂😂 they are crying in the corner 😂😂😂😂
When you hear the ball you know it's heat.
Man If I was the catcher, my hand would have fell off. Much respect to the catcher. That pitcher throwing heat 🔥
If you catch the ball correctly..your hand won't be affected that much.
Got a lot of extra padding in the glove.
The catcher is the real MVP
I was a catcher in my youth. I was scared sh!tless at first. Didnt take too long to get comfortable but I wasnt the biggest of kids. I had a few tanks coming at me rounding third that made me prematurely gray......lol.😂😂
Cricket batsman smiling in corner
When the batter glares at the ump and gestures like it was outside, and normal people would be like "did you hear something go by?"
You can definitely hear the wind off the ball before it gets to you
I'd still be trash talking "You ain't got nothing... oh it passed me?" lol
Walk up to the plate, talk trash, hear mitt being pounded
Wait was that a strike?
Ump: third in a row actually
* I can barely see the ball before it's in the mitt lol that's insane
The pitcher's voice is what distracts the batsman because he swings the bat after the shouting sound.
This view would put baseball on another level
The umpire is in the way😢😢😢
Like a gopro on the umps shirt😂
Bruh and a smooth pan transition to lower ground (looking up) when the bat connects?!?!? On some wii sports shrt?
Deion Sanders just said the other day that he played football, basketball and baseball and that baseball is the hardest sport to play out of the three.... that ball can do some amazing things!!!
The smaller the ball the game. The reason golf for those who know is the hardest sport involving a ball.
Basketball the hardest for another reason, they have to be.in shape.to run both sides ofcourt for 48 minutes, they are generally the ones in best shape, rarely see any out of shape compares to other sports
@kevinkwiatkowski7197 Nah, it's pretty much established that hockey players are the fittest team players.
I don't care what level. I have never seen a fat hockey official.😄
Legend has it that he is still trying his luck to hit the ball
When I was young, we used to go to the arcade batting cages down near the Jersey Shore. Their "fast ball" was ~ 60 mph, which seemed pretty fast back then. Pro-level pitching is a completely different universe. BIG props to the catchers, too, that`s a TOUGH job !
