The single most important take home message is what Guru Martinez says at the 5:40 mark. When a pitcher drives off the rubber and is able to PROPERLY transfer all the kinetic energy and momentum up the chain towards the ball, the arm ends up going for a ride with almost no effort whatsoever (analogous to a ball effortlessly exploding off a bat when it connects with the sweet spot). Power control pitchers like Martinez, Ryan, Verlander, and now Cole have built their careers on mastering those mechanics. Amazing.
All due respect to Ryan it’s pretty impressive he could throw any strikes with his arm moving that fast but he was no control pitcher he just had absolutely killer stuff

Every time Pedro starts teaching about pitching I feel like I owe him money because that quality of instruction is rarely free. Truly an all time great

Wow, I wish I would have learned this growing up, I was a pitcher and by the end of my playing days my shoulder was killing me. I wonder how much this tip would have helped

Anyone else confused why pitchers weren't always interested in the spin of the ball? We've known about gyroscopic stability and the magnus force for over a hundred years...
the analyst has it wrong. watch Nolan Ryan. his arm to slows down in as controlled manner as any - not letting it whip loose - like Pedro. that, along with his daily exercise regimen might be the keys to his longevity. there was also an operation early on. Pedro is a terrible example to use. Pedro's velocity dipped in the latter years so considerably, it led to his ERA climbing; there was arm damage. velocity drops with age, because of internal damage that never repairs. so, any damage that can be minimized is absolutely critical - that's why off speed change ups are gaining in popularity...they work for two good reasons; effect, and longevity.
i could listen to pedro talk about pitching for hours.
one of the best pitchers ever
and im a NYY die hard fan!
Jonathan Emiliani yup me too
Jonathan Emiliani hated his guts back in the day but love him now. Along with Ortiz
same
My son is a pitcher I wish I could have Pedro teach him !
Thanks. Pedro made me watch baseball in the 90s. Awesome pitching....👆👆

Carlos Rodriguez easier said than done

@@wv4776 Ryan was a freak. There won’t be another human built like him, insanely strong, and the most flexible right arm I’ve ever seen. Made no sense
@@senor-yak3222 No one said it was. That's why I'm in awe of what they can do.

Pedro looks short there, he was amazing, I believe of all the players with 300 strikeout in a season he's the only one under 6 foot to do that.
What’s also crazy is that there’s only like 5 ( I believe) starters in the MLB under 6 ft

I don't even play baseball but I can't get enough of these videos
Pedro is amazing. He's intelligent and I enjoyed watching him back in the days.
Wonder why he got more spin when he went to Houston
it must've just been the good vibes

Pedro is a school
This is one of the best pitcher commentary ever. Hope alot of pitcher can ged these advices
I love these breakdowns
Can he just become a pitching coach already. Every big league team would love to have him.

Such a good explanation by Pedro of the decceleration stuff that I screen recorded it 🙏
Pedro has the best inside explanations
And is a great translator
01:28 the way he brings up Pedro and makes that comment cracks me up every time. Watched this video a million times. Love it!
Pedro is so easy to listen too

His footwork on the rubber was underrated. I'd like to see him talk about it in relation to drop and drive.
This is why Pedro is Top 5 all time pitcher imho.
Notice how Pedro's always on the mound. He's so short for being such an amazing pitcher.
now I see why at the end of each baseball season my shoulder felt like it was gonna fall off
I have no clue whay Pedro is talking about but i dont want him to stop, you can tell he knows his stuff!!!!
I think what sets Pedro apart from all other pitchers is his fro...not anything to do with race, just love the fro!
Pedro's masterclass
It's the spin rate that is helping Cole. Sticky substance.
Higher spinrate you say… it was fun while it lasted, 2019 Cole was a beast
I wanna play in their studio field so bad
0:30 no Tom. You had it right the first time

if only they waited until 2019 to do this
he also put his hand on a great pine tar recipe in houston.
Really interesting.
Using the sticky stuff in Huston.
Especially with spider tack
Funny part, Gerrit was an All Star with Pittsburgh
0:46 1:19 1:25 1:30 1:36 1:41 1:46
I wonder what caused this spin rate increase…😏
higher spin rate?! peculiar 🤔 i wonder how he achieved the increase
pedro wasnt an over the top guy the big unit demonstrates that way too but didn't pitch that way???
Why there was so little seen

I wish Cole was on the astros
Because he's cheating
no one Pedro's size got as much out of his arm than Pedro the same for bigger guys
SPIDER TACK
not needed when he just threw a 129 pitch 12 strikeout shutout game :)
@@johndamario2546 when u strike out 15
Cole must stay in Houston
hhaha NO way after he saved that banner about being a NYY forever, HOpefully 7 -8 yrs wth him we can get a few more World series RINGS
Michael Ceraso, like the same rings from the last 10 years? yeah right
Second lolol
I call clickbait. Where the phuck is GC ?
I thought the whole point of a 2 seamer and changeup was not to have a high spin rate
