If Sale is back to throwing those crazy sliders and getting swings and misses on it, hes going to be tough to hit. Was starting to question if he was ever going to regain his previous form
A term used on this channel that I hadn't heard before: sword. Judging by the context clues, sword means a batter striking out on a checked swing, right?
You should look at Casey Jansen when he was the jays closer. Had a cutter that wasn’t too fast but got many ks from. Always wondered why it worked so well
Hi Pitching Ninja - can I make a request? I'd like to see a segment or video on how pitchers/catchers choose what pitch to throw. Perhaps a bit on pitching psychology. Maybe some examples of pitchers setting up batters. Kinda wanted to know if there is a method to the madness. I know some things like 0-2, make em chase something out of the zone for example, but a lot of the time the pitch choices seem random. Is it based off a scouting report whether or not to start a batter off with a fastball or a breaking ball? Thanks.
A lot of it has to be random, otherwise hitters will sit on the predictable pitches. Course then pitchers will do a I know you know I know I’ll throw this so I’ll throw that mind game
Jhoan Duran threw a sinker to Mike Trout on Saturday that sunk like it was only 88 mph. It was 100. Ok. Premature comment- you got it here at 8:03, I shoulda known you would.
If Manoah had been able to keep himself under control, they never would've needed the second visit. I trust a guy like Garrett or Lynn when they're talking about going back and fore with a batter. Manoah just looks like a 12 year old that wants to be tough, like his big brother.
@@wink_butterdog There was so much they could've done to actually connect to atlanta, but they chose an already used uniform. The mariners are worse honestly. They could've done so much, but they chose to become the brewers/pilots.
90% of these the way they swing they had no chance. You gotta keep your head on the ball. They were all pulling away from the pitch. Go into the pitch with your head on it or your done. That's why Nolan Arrendo had such a horrid start. Now his head is on the ball and he's raking.
lmao that only works if you can tell which pitch is coming, all the overlay breakdowns on this channel and you still don't get why the best hitters in the world look like fools. It's not bad hitting, it's good pitching.
@@frankguy6843 i don't think you understand what I'm saying. Watch there heads they are either looking at the pitcher or in the stands. No matter what was thrown unless they got lucky they weren't touching the ball. They are not tracking the ball at all.
Two takes on Joe Kelly. One, amazing how much stuff he has especially for his size. Filthy. And two, WHY can't he seem to find a home? How many teams has he been on now? He's too good to be living out of a suitcase.
joe kelly is absolute dog crap. his stuff is never on and hes always missing the zone. how hes been in this league this long shows how bad MLB has deteriated as a sport.
How cool is it that Chris Sale is back!?!?!? Went out for another inning at 99 pitches and got a 123 inning. So fun to watch!
I'm excited to see his FASTBALL is a lot quicker even late into his start.... let's go SOX....
Sale being back is making my heart so happy!!!
As a BOS i can relate.
Giolito does the old pro ball saying, “high pie” aka elevated change
Love when the NINJA has the breakdown overlays....makes u wonder how a hitter can hit the DAMN ball with the NASTY stuff these pitchers have....😮
I really wished that the Red Sox kept Joe Kelly, since he’s so good again
I really wished that the Cardinals kept Joe Kelly, since he’s so good again
@@chesterrogersjr1737 I really wished that the Dodgers kept Joe Kelly, since he's so good again
I really wished the Jays signed him because he's so good again
I really wish Joe Kelly had kept the Red Sox because they're so good again. 😂😂😂😂
already subscribed bro....here to see what's on the NINJAz mind....1:15 love the BOB ROSS CLIP
Seeing Sale back with his velo and nastiness is great.
I love the Bob Ross spliced in every video
Glad to see Joe Kelly doing well.
Wish the Sox had kept him.
So sad Joe Kelly’s mom just died last week😢
Omg. A video with no ad at the start 😮❤

1:25, I like the old guy in the back.
2:09 Excuse me Mr Ump I have a couple of questions
John Schneider speed running the unemployment line SMH…
Ohtani: 8+ Ks
Greene: 8+ Ks
Steele: 5+ Ks

Yep!
Don't swing the bat like a sword!

Bro that non called strike is all the Robots need for a argument and in an Angels fan 🤣🤣🤣 I was like wait what did I just see
extra ball on field at 2:06
It's like it this point human umpires are trying to get replaced
Anybody know where to find spin rates for pitchers? I’ve been trying to for a while now but there’s so much stuff now it’s hard to find.

It was 100.

That was great framing by Contreras
WE NEED ROBO UMPS!
I hit my strikeout parlay thanks to Nola, H. Brown, B. Garrett, J. Gray and M. Keller
Castillo was throwing those 100mph 2 seamers vs the Jays in the playoffs last year as well. So nasty
Counting to two is almost as hard as counting to three.
Just ask Valve Software. Or King Arthur.
Is whiff rate out of all pitches or pitches that the batter swings at
Only swinging pitches
It’s only a whiff if you swing and miss.
Always loved Kelly’s stuff. And he just looks tall cuz he’s skinny but hes 170 and he is NOT 6’1…..he’s Pedro sized.
He’s 6’1 and 174 lbs.
WILD THING

Liked subbed
Lets go joe!!
I still can't tell if that braves uni is their cc or throwback. It's an absolutely terrible cc choice.
it’s a cool jersey but it’s basically the same as the throwbacks

The change up was 90😂baseball has moved up in speed for sure

Head on the ball. So simple! You should let these clueless hitters know!

Kelly used to be my uncle
Lmao joe kelly.
Was Joe Kelly stoned as fuck? Look at his eyes. MLB players are ALLOWED to smoke look it up that's nuts! He's blasted haha
Wow, so many bad calls. Sheesh.
Two takes on Joe Kelly. One, amazing how much stuff he has especially for his size. Filthy. And two, WHY can't he seem to find a home? How many teams has he been on now? He's too good to be living out of a suitcase.
100mph and 20 inches of run.. well boo-hooooo.
first
Is the worst.
