You should see the players warming up playing "catch" a couple hours before the game. Balls hitting gloves sounds like a target range. They play major league "catch" every day. That's why they can make these incredible throws.
runner: I should try to steal 3rd base here
Me seeing Pudge Rodriguez: U fool
I thought surely they wouldn't make a video without him in there. They almost did. He was the master arm behind the plate.
I spent a good chunk of my life playing organized baseball. There is no way to explain the thought process behind a throw. You just do it. You just zero in on your target and your body does the rest. There is no thinking i can possible describe that goes into it. As for knowing where to throw the ball, because there isn't enough time to think about it, fielders are taught to go over the potential scenarios before the ball is pitched. So they know before it happens if the ball goes here, I throw it there and so forth. I was a catcher for 15 years. I took it as a personal offense if someone tried to steal and a nothing made me happier than gunning down a base runner.
Back when I played youth league, I was an outfielder and first baseman. During one game, I was playing center field when a screamer came my way. I would've caught it had it not fallen short and taken a short hop, which clocked me in my left eye. I was knocked out as a result, and I had a decent shiner for a couple of weeks.
I was a pitcher in college so occasionally they would put me in left field (non rotation day) when we knew the opposing team had fast runners. Always gotta love a strong crow hop and gunning someone down! Still doesn't beat striking someone out in embarrassing fashion... but it's close.
@@sandorclegane6844 I became a pitcher because I was not a good hitter but I had a very strong arm. As happy as I would be able to conserve my energy and get three outs on three ground outs on three pitches, there was still the satisfaction of blowing a fastball by someone or fooling him with a breaking pitch.
David Levin Completely agree. Our goal was 10-12 pitches or less per inning. Pound the strike zone and force the ground out. The satisfaction of a K is just so sweet. In a scrimmage I once made a teammate swing and fall over on my split-change.. my coach made him run for an hour haha
@@sandorclegane6844 I was primarily a reliever. I once closed a game by getting three outs on three pitches. I said to a teammate who complimented me on my quick work, "It's hot out, I'm hungry, and I want go for lunch already!" That got a laugh.
As to the split decisions as to where to throw the ball, you’re taught to think ahead of the pitch as to where you’re going with it in certain situations if it comes to you; it helps with the speed of the decision.
There are two rules: Don't try to steal on Yadier Molina and don't think on extending a run on Rick Ankiel.
These throws are absolutely amazing, my left arm hurts even thinking about it.
I hated left hand pitchers ngl
.Use your right arm. :)
Bo Jackson throwing out Harold was the most impressive thing I've ever witnessed .
Those throws where the ball seems to float are the most satisfying throws ever
Courtney...these are the plays that we all live for. Sometimes they occur while we are at the game, but many are shown on the evening news and we go nuts watching them. Glad you posted these, they are great and it is a treat to watch your reaction because you truly appreciate what you are seeing
I'm still in awe of the two throws Dave Parker made at the 1979 All-Star Game to nail Jim Rice trying to stretch a double into a triple and the throw to Gary Carter to get Brian Downing at the plate. Great throw and great tag from both players.
Trust me, that ball hurts. My home field in high school (I played 2nd) had a nasty bump. Not once did I stop a ground ball with my glove... always my body.
That was my technique at third. I had a good arm so I could make most of the plays. Not sure I would recommend this technique but I wasn't going to let a ball get by me.
You all must have played at Weber field in dove creek, co😂. You'd cringe when you got the sign to steal cause you're sliding on sandstone .The wind blew all the dirt away. On ground balls, a very fast playing surface to say the least.
That throw from Bo Jackson is the best I've ever seen. Blows me away every time I see it. And Yadier Molina (cathcer) is the boss, love watching him hose runners.
Hey Courtney. In terms of speed of the throws, there are variables like distance etc. But the first one that they showed was the fastest outfield throw recorded at I think 105.5 mph. I was thinking with your interest in sports and your time spent in Japan a retrospective of highlights of Ichiro Suzuki would be good. He had a several year career in Japan and then got the chance to play in MLB. Set several records as a hitter, and had one of the best arms ever. If you do a YT search on Ichiro highlights there are a number of choices. I will leave it to you to decide which ones are the right length etc. Enjoy!!!
Nice suggestion!
I was going to say, really the video could be only Ichiro, Rick Ankiel, and Alex Gordon highlights and be phenomenal.
I'm a huge fan of baseball since I was 6! I still watch it now! Watching these videos makes you want to be a baseball fan!
If you haven't already, check out best shortstop throws/plays or best 3rd baseman throws/plays.
I don't watch baseball except for the compilations like these especially throws and nasty pitches. Loved the reactions!
On the first or second one they said it was the fastest throw ever clocked, and showed the speed at 105.5 mph, which is 169.78 kph.
I suddenly just had a thought about pranking in Australia, flinging a baseball past a speed camera at just the right time... hah, make it a bicycle or a scooter, reviewer gets the photo and "How the hell is this moped going 150kph?"
Normally, only pitcher's pitches are analyzed for their speed since they always pitch from the same position. Outfield players and infield players are much more difficult to clock. since they always throw from a different position.
I would advise weirdest pitching windups and nastiest pitches
You see how close all of those plays are, just think how radically different the game would be if the bases were 89 or 91 feet apart instead of the perfect 90 that the game's originators came up with.
I always get the “Japan is waiting for you” ad, and I find it so funny; it’s like a weird blend of 90’s training video and a travel ad.
6:25. Nolan being Nolan!
Hall of Famer Dave Winfield launched airstrikes from right field for years, I saw one his highlight reels from the 80s, and holy crap could he throw guys out at home
Winfield was a pitcher and a right fielder in college. He was an incredible all around athlete as he played basketball, was drafted in football, and held the intramural high jump record for awhile. We enjoyed him at U of Minnesota.
Yay more mlb!
11:55 oh one of those throws would do a lot more than knock you out...very high likelihood of serious brain damage if not killing someone. Amazing feats of athleticism.
Ichiro has his own video of long throws just like this.
The throw from third base over to first is really long. These men make it look easy.??? Good stuff.
If you love watching these you will love watching" MLB avoiding the tag"
Each team plays 162 games in a season (not including the playoffs or Spring Training). So 30 teams, at 162 games per pair, gives you 2,430 games in a season. With that said, these "cannon throws" from the outfield - particularly the deep parts of the outfield - that result in the runner being thrown out at home plate are very rare. It's decidedly not the norm. If you watch a lot of baseball, you will see it, but not often. Much more common are the slick double plays, or plays by the shortstop, or the catcher throwing out a runner trying to steal. Those are my favorite plays. Pitching is a fun part of it too. I like to see good pitching.
More baseball reactions please!
Great stuff again Courtney, love great defense in baseball. It's worth noting that Rick Ankiel started his career as a pitcher. He transitioned to the outfield because he couldn't throw the ball over the plate to save his life. Nailed it perfectly from the outfield though, many times. I'd suggest checking out Ichiro Suzuki. Amazing arm, which you saw there in the video, even better with the bat, and such a spectacular person on and off the field. His story is deservedly legendary.
I love when people don't understand how hard a ball is thrown that it is literally a flatline and barely drops... Especially with spin and wind resistance yet they hit their target from 200 ft away as they say on a bullet... (not at Courtney, just people who don't understand the game).
I can watch Nolan Arenado and Manny Machado highlights all day long
"Americas book of secrets " on the history channel is a informative show :)
What's impressive about the Bo Jackson throw was that he was essentially playing on an reconstructed hip. This was after his hip injury in football which ended his career. Even more impressive was that throw was flat footed and the runner while not exceptionally fast, had speed. A better throw when Jackson was healthy, was the throw from left to get a speedy Harold Reynolds (Who still is upset about it after all these years)
As a baseball/rounders player myself I’ve thrown over 375ft and I’m only 21 and that throw won the game especially catching a 100+ mph ball
Both of those Bo Jackson throws are still talked about to this day.
When the outfielders warm up they throw the ball to each other. However, there are three outfielders. The left fielder will sometimes play catch with a ball girl to warm up.
The third outfielder will play catch with either the bullpen catcher or one of the relief pitchers, not the ball girl.
David Levin well there’s a video of a ball girl doing just that. It’s a fun video.
The Bo Jackson throw needed some more attention. From the wall to home plate without a hop, or a bounce. Let's talk about that one a little.
When I first started playing baseball for the "Babe Ruth" league(teenagers), the players there were using metal spikes on their shoes for better traction. I was playing infield second base and had a ball thrown to me to get a runner out on second base. It was a force out with a runner already on first base so all I had to do was tag second base with the ball and the runner would be out. I stood above second base waiting to be thrown the ball, but the runner decided to try to take me out of the play by sliding at me with his metal spikes up in the air at my legs above the base. He hit my leg with his metal spikes and tore a big chunk of meat from my shin causing me to leave the base in pain. The umpire called him safe. I learned a big lesson that day. Anything or anybody blocking any part of the base paths with any part of their body is fair game for the runner to attack and knock out of the base path. If you watch the first base player, he places his foot on the side of the first base when another player throws him the ball and them quickly removes it after the runner is called out. He doesn't want his foot stepped on with metal spikes, either.
At 8:49 the throw from the catcher to 2nd base is Sal.
My new favorite video you've done, Courtney!
The players are completely and thoroughly studied and analyzed by the coaches before they are chosen to play a particular positiion for the team.
Court you may want to watch MLB best double players. Epic! Another video you would love is Sal the canon.
To your comment that "they always seem to make up for it":
I played 3rd base myself so I had to make long throws a lot. However, when you make an error, it instantly triggers so much adrenaline than you temporarily gain superhuman strength. I remember several occasions when I bobbled a ball and when I recovered and threw it I could feel my body bypassing all of its safety measures and using every ounce of my strength. Also in those instances, I cannot remember seeing where I was throwing, instead I just instinctively knew exactly where my target was and only locked on with my eyes after I had released the ball.
As a former first baseman, its high pressure to catch those sometimes
Bo Jackson was clocked at 105 mph. Most of those guys were the best pitchers on their team in college and worst case scenario would hover around 95
Some of those throws were very much “yeet” worthy
Forgive my memory, has Courtney reacted to BO? It's a must for baseball and football!
Good observation at the end. As a player you are taught from the beginning, if this happens do this.
Giancarlo Stanton hit by pitch will show you what can happen. Thanks for the vids!
Hey Courtney, for a Motorsport, you should definitely check out some Rally videos. If you search “this is Rally” you’ll find a bunch of videos. One of the craziest Motorsports there is. Maybe also check out Rally Group B
Love your vids courtney, you should react to MLBS most amazing comebacks by Exe Edits for your next mlb vid
I always wondered how umpires made calls the are so close, when they can't see the ball and the guys foot hit the base at the same time, my aunts husband works as an umpire says, they heard the sound of ball hitting the glove while they watch the foot and base..
Thank You for doing that! I recommended that video.. Yes ! You can get killed if those throws hit you in the head.. There are many highlights of players charging the mound, wanting to fight, because the pitcher threw at his head..
The pitchers throw in the high 90's..The infielders throw over 100 mph..Pitchers must have more control to be allowed to pitch..
FYI..The best baseball video is '' Baseball's greatest crowd reactions'' It shows how wild it can get..Baseball has very loyal fans.. Please watch it asap ! The one with 1.5 million views is the one to watch.. Thank again !
I always hate these videos because none of them ever put the video of Jeff Francoeur in his rookie year for Atlanta. Game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, twice a ball is hit his way to the warning track with Luis Gonzalez trying to tag up from third to score. BOTH TIMES Francoeur nails him with perfect throws to the plate. No hop, from the warning track! I had never seen anything like that before or since. At least not in the same game.
I think the problem is that the video is damn near impossible to find, but I distinctly remember seeing it on Baseball Tonight and Sportscenter when it happened. He had an absolute cannon of an arm!
The baseball players practice for hours on how to make those split-second decisions where to throw the ball. That's why they make the big bucks.
When you are seeing these fast throws youre missing out on one major detail... The catches from the first baseman with those throws. Down from a full split and bringing up 1 or 2 bounce throws. Check that aspect out.
Check out one of the rareest plays in baseball "triple plays"
Throws like those can be between 95-100 mph.
I like your reaction, you know your sports. I live in L. A. and go to several Dodger games. Check out throws by Yasiel Puig, no better arm in MLB
In high school, the girls used to love the baseball players for some reason.
You watched 6 outstanding plays by Josh Donaldson with the Oakland A's and the Toronto Blue Jays.
MLB trick plays are fun too. You should watch some of Brandon Philips plays at 2nd bass
Base*
Many of these throws are within a step or two. It is like I heard an announcer say once play the game. Now you see why these men are in the majors. Notice the ball is often are the side that makes the tag easier.
Man they didn't even show Rick Ankiel's best ones.
A couple of the throws at least were over 105 mph. If you notice they told on those.
Unrelated to the content of the video itself I just got to say, "Holy smokes, you are gorgeous!"
I had such a school girl crush on Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners.
Shame they didn't show Alex Gordon at all. The guy won the platinum glove for a reason when playing LF.
Not surprising that the aussie cricket teams have learnt from baseball players.
Realize their arms do not hurt because most of the torque generated comes from their lower half their arm is just the fulcrum
compile best base stealers of all time
Hey Court,
I love your reactions. At approximately 8:53 the catcher making that throw. Is Sal. He has a cannon of an arm. He is exceptional. Check him out..
You should really react to mlb not so serious moments it’s so funny
Baseball guys are the best guys😋😁
If you want to mix sports and the military in 1 reaction you should have a look at the Royal Navy Field Gun competition, you won't be disappointed. just make sure you look at runs before the year 2000.
you should react to Nolan Arenado Highlights he is the best third baseman in baseball right now.
I played shortstop on a traveling softball team as a teenager. One of my teammates' brother was watching a game and later asked me out on a date after seeing me make one of those deep throws from almost behind 3rd and getting the out 😆
please react to Calvin Johnson highlights
Luv it ...but Andrelton Simmons is the best defensive infielder in MLB ....u gotta do it. i know its a long vid ..but my god. The man is very ..VERY SMART.
Short video but perhaps the best coordinated play to get out one of the fastest runners in baseball: th-cam.com/video/i0iN59vldDo/w-d-xo.html
Baseball is such a great sport. Unfortunately, it's not for everyone. I'm just happy they got my boy Vlad in there with the last highlight.
But I caught a ball and I caught it with my palm instead of the webbing of the glove and my palm was on fire!!!!
BOATLIFT: an untold tale of resilience about 911 made by Tom Hanks. Attempt 4
u should react to Mike Trout highlights he is the current best player and is on track to be easily the greatest of all time
Mija (Spanish) what is the meaning of the New Zealand phrase Hunty ?
Henry Ortiz it’s just a spin off of “honey” or “hunny” I don’t think it’s NZ slang though :)
@@CourtneyCoulston Ok . Gracias ! I'm Native American and Mexican . In the Mexican culture some of the Spanish used in America by people of Mexican descent use slang . The Spaniards hate the way we speak . They say we don't speak Spanish ! Kind of the way the British say Americans don't speak the King's English ! Anyway some day when you come to the USA visit the Great State of Idaho . I live in what is called the Treasure Valley . Minutes away from mountains and rivers and lots of country scenery . I love your channel can't start my day without watching your latest video . Keep up the great work hunty ! Love ya Amiga !
You're my type of gal
