Ah, right he did 😂😂😂 Well sawamura is talented but he just didn't know. I am really happy he got his ace number in lastest chapter. My baby has grow up 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I am not sure if change up is that hard to throw. You find a grip that you can throw accurately with and throw it the same way you do a fastball and it should come out of the hand a few MPH slower to mess with the batter's timing.
Matthew Marin no man I’ll take mine down it’s not your fault and it did look like he was dabbing 😂 but I’ll take mine down. Sorry man. Edit: wanna be internet friends
My favorite is that screwball. I used to throw that pitch in high school. It was like my secret weapon. Those guys, a lot of times, wouldn’t even swing at it. My friend, who was actually catcher, threw this crazy knuckleball. That’s still the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen, haha!
Cristiaan Aguilar he throws 2 curves and 2 sliders, he throws his slow curve around 70, and a faster curve around 80. With the slider he throws 1 at 84 or 85, and one at 87-88. With both he throws the slower in 1-1 or 0-0 counts, and the faster one for strike outs.
I think he's basically grouping them because your wrist typically has the same motion in all those pitches just different finger placement. But I agree with you
If you're going to count the Slurve, basically a curve changeup, as its own pitch, then you should count 2 seam (sinker), 4 seam, and cutters as their own pitches. The splitter is just the 80's variation of the historic forkball and should be combined. It's sad that the top 3 hardest pitches to throw are all pretty much extinct in today's game
Corben_ Peach I’ve got a 4 seam, a sinker, a slider and a 12-6. I’ve never really needed a change up since my sinker works like one with it being about 9mph slower. But it’s always been annoying that I can’t throw a change to save my life.
Eli Pascual ever hear of kenley Jansen? David Robertson? David price? Justin Verlander? Those are all pitching right now. How is Mariano the only one to perfect it?
Baseball Worldwide because he only threw the cutter for 20 years and everyone knew what pitch was coming and they still couldn’t hit it. The others mix in 4 seem fastballs along with their other offspeeds
It is a very hard pitch to throw and it is very hard on your arm. Cutters puts tremendous stress on the ulnar collateral ligament and so it has ended a lot of pitchers' careers due to needing of TJS
IMO, it is much easier to throw a mediocre changeup than to throw a mediocre curveball. Now a good changeup, on the other hand, is much harder to throw, so I guess if youre ranking by hardest to throw well its correct, but any joe schmo can put 3 fingers on the ball and take a little off
a changeup is NOT just putting an extra finger on the ball and taking a little bit off the pitch!!! There are several different grips that are used ie a "Circle Changeup" google the grip, and the arm velocity and angle stays exactly the same as throwing a fastball. Guys on the MLB level would water at the mouth if a guy only slowed his arm speed down and used 3 fingers on the ball. its way to obvious for a professional. It may work in Little League but wont work at very much of a higher level than that.
Im late, ik. Not neccesarily a balk. If he does that every single time, its no balk. If he changes it during that game, for example he does it only once, it IS a balk.
not sure if this guy doesnt watch baseball, but a good changeup is rare in baseball. Not sure if this guy has ever pitched, as throwing an effective changeup is insanely difficult to get down pat.
@@baseballworldwide9439 Why? It's a normal pitch just with less effort. I mainly play golf, but I can hit 3/4 shots with ease (they're actually easier than full shots).
Joe Blow lol I’ll assume you mean fastball when you say normal pitch. The 2 and 4-seams as well as the cutter and splitter each have different grips but are all thrown the same way. The change up has its own grip as well (a few of them) and the key to a good change up is to be able to throw it with the same arm angle and arm velocity as a fastball but then having the pitch basically fall of at the end of it. A good change up is a hard pitch to throw.
Yeah and it took him a month to get back up to that this year, he dipped so much then exploded back to form only to lose the game again. It's weird I feel like all of a sudden there has been a curse put on whoever wins the cy young for the Sox first Pom won it barely then sucked the year Sale won it now Sale sucks. Though none of them are even decent this year We've had what five or so dominant performances? Most end up with a choke from them, reliever or closer I think there has been at most two three great one that ended up in wins, we easily could be at least tied with the Yanks and if a certain guy who wants a Payday would be playing like he wants it we'd easily have won 15 or more games.
I think many could pitchers could throw it if they wanted to but not many pitchers would dare to throw it regularly due to the damage it does to your arm. Kinda like the splitter
I used to throw a sidearm screwball. Much easier pronating your forearm from sidearm IMO. I used to throw a forkball too but I don't understand how the ones displayed had no spin.
Hector Santiago frequently uses the screwball. He was shown in the video throwing the pitch. The thing is, the standard angle for recording the pitcher makes a screwball thrown by a lefty hard to see. Here's a video of Yu Darvish throwing a screwball, he's a righty (but he stopped using it because it caused him shoulder problems). th-cam.com/video/ZCb4yS2T6EU/w-d-xo.html Here's a video of another professional righty who uses the pitch. th-cam.com/video/HpzsHVU4FZA/w-d-xo.html
This is a great video! Thank you for putting it together. I still don’t understand the pitches though because of the camera angles. Seems like directly behind 2nd would be better for the fans instead of an angle like this. Of course, I know there’s nothing you can do about that. Is there a video anywhere of a person showing how to hold the ball for each pitch, explaining what the ball will do, and then pitching it? Maybe with a camera behind the pitcher so we can see the ball activity?
Not at all. A slurve is pretty much just a bad slider. But a curve and a slider are completely different pitches. You throw a curve different than any other pitch, snapping your wrist down to make it spin forward instead of backward. A slider is thrown more like a fastball, but with your fingers outside the ball and with a twist of the wrist to make it spin sideways.
Lol I stopped taking the vid serious when 4 pitches including cutter n spiltter were considered the easiest pitch to throw. Most major League pitchers cannot throw a legit spilt finger.
Everybody who’s saying change-ups are easier to throw than curveballs/sliders have clearly never pitched. At least not at a high level. People need to understand that a change-up is not simply a “slower fastball” it’s gripped very differently and to be effective has to be the same arm action as the fastball to fool the hitter into swinging too early. Simply lobbing the ball up there and calling it a change-up is a good way of getting pulled in the second inning.
Kindve a vague order.. only the last 4 er so should actually be mentioned. IME, finding someone e who can throw a legit screwball is the most rarest find.. 3. Knuckleball 2. Fork 1. Screwball
AllyItachiSenju he’s got a pretty good one. Doesn’t work all the time as if you throw it too hard you lose downward depth, and it becomes a 2 seam fastball. Pedro Martinez threw a variation screwball changeup, as he turned his wrist over upon release, very damaging pitch regardless to the ulnar collateral ligament
A splitter is a type of fastball. Thats pretty much undisputed. Split your fingers, and snap your wrist downward at release. Throwing a quality splitter is difficult, but not harder than any of the pitches in front of it.
It's called a fastball, but it isn't really a fastball. It's an off-speed pitch that's a derivation of a forkball. A fastball relies on a lot of backspin to generate vertical lift. A splitter/forkball tries to remove that backspin.
Nastiest pitch I've ever seen was the circle change that Greg Maddux used to throw to left handers. Doc Halladay mastered it; Kyle Hendricks has got it, too.
Pixelated PEKKA at that age man don’t be focusing on velocity. Be focusing on executing your pitches and developing a good pitch mix. Learn to throw quality strikes with your stuff. Also, make sure you’re throwing your curveball properly so you aren’t hurting your arm. Throwing hard at your age truly doesn’t mean anything. You need to be able to throw quality strikes with all your pitches. Best of luck
You shouldn’t be throwing a curveball. You’re 12. It also doesn’t matter how fast a curve is, it’s about how much it breaks. Just because a pitcher throws a fast curveball high in the zone doesn’t mean the batter doesn’t crush it. It’s about how you can make it move low in the zone north to south
Good video. I would have shown Jamie Moyer throwing the change up. He reportedly had a couple different versions of it even. The best slider I ever saw came out of the hands of Steve Carlton.
Well there only easy bc you Prob just take a lil speed of and call it s change up. ( no offense but that's what most people do) props to you if you throw it right.
I'm not sure what happened to baseball over the years but there seems to now be 1000 different names for the same pitch. The way it was (traditionally)...... is you had your *fastball* (which generally went straight and fast), your *curveball* (which made a long loop and broke both down and sideways), your *slider* (which was a "tighter", more compact curveball that was thrown at a higher velocity), a *sinker* (which looked like a fastball and was thrown with similar velocity but which the "bottom fell out of"), your *changeup* (a pitch thrown with a fastball delivery that was a SLOW pitch), a *knuckleball* (a pitch thrown with no spin on it which would break randomly), and finally a *screwball* (a reverse curveball that would break down and sideways with the opposite motion). In MLB history (at least in my lifetime), there have never been more than a handful of pitchers who could throw a knuckleball or a screwball at any one point in time. They are baseball's most difficult pitches to throw of all time. Period. - Now when you say "forkball", what you mean is SINKER. - When you say "offspeed" pitch, what you mean is CHANGEUP. - When you say "breaking ball", what you mean is any of the above pitches I mentioned other than the fastball (because they ALL break). - When you say "cutter", what you mean is a pitch that is a cross between a fastball and a screwball. - When you say "two seam fastball" (ie: forkball/pitch that drops), what you mean is a SINKER. - When you say "four seam fastball", what you mean is a FASTBALL. *Historical note:* For all intents and purposes, due to negative connotations surrounding the name, the pitch formerly referred to as a "screw ball" is basically today's "cutter". You will never hear anyone use the screwball name any more. So Mariano Rivera's deadliest and most famous pitch is basically what I described. He was a right handed pitcher who threw that pitch and it broke in towards a right-handed batter. Again, knowing that only around 5 pitchers in all of baseball could ever throw a screw ball, it was an extremely rare pitch and hitters basically never saw it and didn't know how to hit it. Of course today, many pitchers have a "cutter" as part of their arsenal now. So that pitch is now the most popular that it has ever been.

Ryan H your right, I forget that he throws the two different curve balls
Jacob Geist Now that I look closer at how he throws them I'm pretty sure his first one is a slider, and his second one is his 12-6 curve.
Huge difference between a 2 seam and a splitter.

Great forkball there. Imagine if Steve Carlton or Nolan Ryan would have had a knuckleball. They would have had 50 no hitters.

A splitter is a type of fastball. Thats pretty much undisputed. Split your fingers, and snap your wrist downward at release. Throwing a quality splitter is difficult, but not harder than any of the pitches in front of it.
It's called a fastball, but it isn't really a fastball. It's an off-speed pitch that's a derivation of a forkball. A fastball relies on a lot of backspin to generate vertical lift. A splitter/forkball tries to remove that backspin.
You ever thrown a splitter? Definitely not an among the easiest pitches to throw.
Michael Patterson in comparison, yes it is
Nastiest pitch I've ever seen was the circle change that Greg Maddux used to throw to left handers. Doc Halladay mastered it; Kyle Hendricks has got it, too.
Pedro's was better
Um my main pitch is a a fastball and I’m 10
3:02 HOW TF
Am I the only one who doesn’t notice any difference between any of these?
You definitely don’t know Baseball ⚾️
My curveball topped out at 59 mph. My fastball topped out at 66 mph. I am 12 years old. Is this good?
Pixelated PEKKA how old are you?
It says it right there!
Pixelated PEKKA at that age man don’t be focusing on velocity. Be focusing on executing your pitches and developing a good pitch mix. Learn to throw quality strikes with your stuff. Also, make sure you’re throwing your curveball properly so you aren’t hurting your arm. Throwing hard at your age truly doesn’t mean anything. You need to be able to throw quality strikes with all your pitches. Best of luck
Thanks, man
You shouldn’t be throwing a curveball. You’re 12. It also doesn’t matter how fast a curve is, it’s about how much it breaks. Just because a pitcher throws a fast curveball high in the zone doesn’t mean the batter doesn’t crush it. It’s about how you can make it move low in the zone north to south
As a cricket bowler this was fun to watch
Good video. I would have shown Jamie Moyer throwing the change up. He reportedly had a couple different versions of it even.
The best slider I ever saw came out of the hands of Steve Carlton.
Your saying a changeup is harder to throw then a slurve?
yup
Change ups are easy to throw
Well there only easy bc you Prob just take a lil speed of and call it s change up. ( no offense but that's what most people do) props to you if you throw it right.
No, a bad change up is easy to throw
Circle change, and trophy change in my opinion are hard to throw and locate
I can only do cutter and slider
I'm not sure what happened to baseball over the years but there seems to now be 1000 different names for the same pitch. The way it was (traditionally)...... is you had your *fastball* (which generally went straight and fast), your *curveball* (which made a long loop and broke both down and sideways), your *slider* (which was a "tighter", more compact curveball that was thrown at a higher velocity), a *sinker* (which looked like a fastball and was thrown with similar velocity but which the "bottom fell out of"), your *changeup* (a pitch thrown with a fastball delivery that was a SLOW pitch), a *knuckleball* (a pitch thrown with no spin on it which would break randomly), and finally a *screwball* (a reverse curveball that would break down and sideways with the opposite motion).
In MLB history (at least in my lifetime), there have never been more than a handful of pitchers who could throw a knuckleball or a screwball at any one point in time. They are baseball's most difficult pitches to throw of all time. Period.
- Now when you say "forkball", what you mean is SINKER.
- When you say "offspeed" pitch, what you mean is CHANGEUP.
- When you say "breaking ball", what you mean is any of the above pitches I mentioned other than the fastball (because they ALL break).
- When you say "cutter", what you mean is a pitch that is a cross between a fastball and a screwball.
- When you say "two seam fastball" (ie: forkball/pitch that drops), what you mean is a SINKER.
- When you say "four seam fastball", what you mean is a FASTBALL.
*Historical note:* For all intents and purposes, due to negative connotations surrounding the name, the pitch formerly referred to as a "screw ball" is basically today's "cutter". You will never hear anyone use the screwball name any more. So Mariano Rivera's deadliest and most famous pitch is basically what I described. He was a right handed pitcher who threw that pitch and it broke in towards a right-handed batter. Again, knowing that only around 5 pitchers in all of baseball could ever throw a screw ball, it was an extremely rare pitch and hitters basically never saw it and didn't know how to hit it. Of course today, many pitchers have a "cutter" as part of their arsenal now. So that pitch is now the most popular that it has ever been.
while i'm here still stuck can't differentiate between those ball...what i know is i hit it and make it homerun....
