    Hearing the phrase, "Take the pitch," made me irrationally happy. I find it so funny that baseball and fighting games have almost exactly the same phrase.

    • @DazIsBambo

      Somehow, despite following baseball for years, I never noticed the obvious similarity in phrasing. But while I was writing this video, the connection kind of went off like an explosion in my head. I can't believe I never picked up on that.

    It's funny that I actually recently got into baseball myself as a lifelong fighting game player.
    A few more interesting comparisons to make:
    Intentionally walking could be seen as something like forcing a use of meter to close the round. Similarly, hitting the batter could be something like using EX DP on the opponent's wake-up, fully unhinged Ken-style.
    There's also the "character select" aspect of things like righties vs. southpaws, knuckleballers, underhand pitchers, a hitter's stance, and, lest we forget, the man behind the dish calling the pitches, the catcher.
    Overall a really cool comparison with a lot of parallels to draw.

    The most interesting part of this video to me as an American is the idea of positioning the pitcher as the attacker. I've always viewed the batter as the attacker since he's the one who actually scores points. But this analogy works better than I thought the other way

      Baseball is the only sport (besides cricket) where the defense holds the ball. For the casual viewer, it’s a few moments of action minutes apart. For the avid viewer, it’s 54+ mental chess matches back-to-back.

    Another fun little parallel is the goofy-ass jargon that both of them have. Worm-burner, shift beater, can of corn, high heat, cheese at the knees, oppo taco, bloop, The Maddux, perfectos, no-nos, TOOTBLAN, FARTSLAM, NOBLETIGER, The White Castle Special, swords, The Mendoza Line, painting, the eephus. All those terms come from baseball and hold meaning to the kinds of people who are as in deep with baseball as you are with fighting games. Just to keep me occupied, here are what all those things mean:
    Worm-burner: a pitch or hit that goes directly into the ground between the pitcher and hitter with great force
    shift beater: a weak hit to the opposite side of the field from where the batter is positioned, to the space the defense would usually occupy but has chosen to leave vulnerable by shifting defenders towards the areas the hitter is more likely to send the ball
    can of corn: an easy-to-catch fly ball. This term apparently originates from a practice common among store clerks in the late 1800s.
    high heat: a difficult to hit rising fastball thrown at or just above the top of the strike zone
    cheese at the knees: the opposite of high heat, a fastball thrown right at the bottom of the strike zone that is extremely difficult for a hitter to recognize as a strike until it’s too late. I think this term was coined by Pitching Ninja.
    oppo taco: an opposite field home run
    bloop: a ball that is hit just hard enough to go over the heads of the infield but light enough that the outfielders have no chance of catching it. Almost always results in a single.
    The Maddux: a performance in which a pitcher throws a complete game shutout in fewer than 100 pitches. Named after Greg Maddux, who accomplished the feat nearly twice as many times as any other pitcher has in their career.
    perfectos: perfect games (games in which a pitcher did not allow any batter to reach base across nine innings)
    no-nos: no-hitters (games in which a pitcher did not allow a hit, but may have allowed batters to reach on an error or walk)
    TOOTBLAN: Thrown Out On The Basepath Like A Nincompoop. A facetiously named stat for when a baserunner just completely fucks up and it’s entirely his fault.
    FARTSLAM: Fielder Allows Runner To Score Like A Moron. Like a TOOTBLAN, but when a fielder completely fucks up instead of a runner.
    NOBLETIGER: No Outs Bases Loaded Ending (with) Team Incapable (of) Getting Easy Run. With the bases loaded and no outs, a team is expected to score about 2.25 runs before the inning ends, on average. If they manage to end the inning having scored 0 runs, that’s a notable failure. The acronym is a stretch, because the person coining the term wanted to name the feat after the Detroit Tigers, who did this a lot.
    The White Castle Special: a pitcher striking out a batter with three nasty sliders.
    swords: another Pitching Ninja term, refers to a swing that a batter tries but fails to check, resulting in a very awkward-looking strike.
    The Mendoza Line: a batting average of .200. In reference to Mario Mendoza, a player from the 70s who usually failed to bat above .200 in any given season. (For reference, a good batting average is about .250)
    painting: reliably throwing pitches that just barely touch the edge of the strike zone for a called strike.
    the eephus: an extremely weak, slow, very hittable pitch thrown with a high arc, intended as a bizarre mixup. From the Hebrew word “efes”, meaning “Nothing”.

    hi. at 19:10 the al leiter conversation about pitching "in" is more than just about throwing in the strike zone, it's about pitching on the inside of the strike zone closer to the hitter.

    • @TheDrEinhorn
      @TheDrEinhorn 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +12

      came down here to say this as well. The risk to this is not just that hitters can turn on the pitch and pull it to their strong side, it's also that you're risking hitting the batter and giving them a free base (and also maybe starting a fight). Bambo's point still stands, but just a bit more nuance

    • @KevinHenke
      @KevinHenke 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Also, a southpaw pitching a right-handed batter has a greater risk of hitting the batter with an inside pitch.
      I like how you highlighted the top row and bottom row, and thought you were going to highlight the right-most column when referring to inside pitching (as most batters are righties)

      It can also include a pitch out of the strike zone, as long as it's closer to the hitter. Just like a pitch outside can be a ball or a strike, so long as it's on the side further from the batter.

    Great video! Small correction. "Throwing inside" means throwing towards the batter's side of the box. He talks about it being a risky pitch to a left handed pitcher is because at that angle against right handed (majority) batters, if you're off slightly to the left, you've just thrown a fastball right down the middle. If you are off angle slightly to the right, then you run the risk of hitting the batter and just outright losing the at bat.

    ALSO! Baseball is very heavily influential on shonen anime. There's obviously the baseball sports anime but a lot of that story telling dynamic within baseball transfers over to your dragon balls and your narutos and so on. Large gaps in action for tension with quick bursts of action and the entire course of the game, no matter the score, can change in a heart beat.

    Fighting games have taught me so much about game theory, and I think that Northernlion bit at the beginning describes game theory almost perfectly. Since getitng more into fighting games, I've been looking more for these strategies in sports, which makes them so much more fun to watch.
    I think these things aren't always apparent to everyone at first because we have to spend so much time just learning the game and honing our skills in the first place (how to throw or hit a ball, how to do your input combos and learning the matchups, etc). Only after you have an appropriate skill level does game theory start to make all the difference between plebs and pros.

    My dad took over coaching my little league team after our first coach was unreliable and he taught me mind games really early. He taught me that generally a lot of batters like to take the first pitch, which is absolutely valid...but when the others take the first pitch the pitcher gets comfortable and tends to throw his best pitch first so "if you can see it, and can hit it...might as well" which makes pitchers aware of you stepping up to the plate as threatening. You can also crowd the plate and dare the pitcher to control their throw enough to not clip you which can net you a free ball or base and if they call you on it you can pull the ball for a base hit.

    For a ubiquitous example in SF of having a threat create mental stack: jump-ins. 99% of the time, good players especially pros, will anti-air you but if busy their minds with grounded options, the unexpexted jump-in will at least give you plus frames as they take the safer option and block rather than try to anti-air.

    At 19:44 he also may be referring to "Inside" as "close to the batter, in the strikezone" ie the 741 on the numpad - to a righthanded batter. Still, an inside fastball in THIS case is a strike, but an inside pitch can be too far inside also be a ball. This pitch a "brushback pitch" or "buzzing" the batter throws him off and dissuades him from leaning forward to catch an outside pitch.

    I could make a similar video on racing, sales pitches, music or story-telling.
    Strategising skills carry over to pretty much anything where strategising occurs.
    You have to make someone believe and take advantage of the story you're telling them, that's pretty much all of it.

    • @DazIsBambo
      @DazIsBambo  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      From what you mentioned, music is the most interesting one. I agree with you, but I can't immediately put it into words. Hopefully someone (YOU) does actually make that video eventually - especially since fighting game players love using music for analogy

    • @EU_DHD

      @@DazIsBambo I'm not gonna make that video, way too much research for my brain.
      Maybe it's kind of a moot point to make but improvisation takes a lot of thinking ahead and playing off of both what you play and what others play. Often you think ahead together through cues and body language which can be likened to conditioning except you're cooperating rather than trying to catch someone out.

    Watching this made me realize how often I try to take back a life lead and scramble in sf6. I play Manon and I've been hit with way too many fireballs to rush my pace when my best pace is play slow, get a grab and only press if I smell blood.

    An inside pitch does not mean that the pitch is inside the strike zone. Inside pitches are closer to the batter, outside pitches are farther away. And inside or outside pitch could be a strike or a ball. If a pitch nearly hits a batters knee it was a "ball inside." If it passes four feet away from the batter it is a "ball outside." A pitch that barely passes through the left or right edge of the zone is an inside or outside strike, depending on whether its closer to the batter or farther. Excellent video, you have a good grasp of baseball considering its rather foreign to you, but I felt a need to make this correction.

    Pitching ninja is a great TH-camr to watch if you want to learn more about how pitchers attack. He did a great video about Ohtani vs Trout in the world baseball classic.
    Down to their last out and the go ahead run at the plate, it's the captain of the U.S. team vs the captain of the Japanese team who both played on the same team in the MLB at that time.
    It's such a great game and the mental battle is crazy between pitcher and batter. High-low mix ups, working in and out, messing with timing, pitch tunneling (an absolutely crazy concept but you wouldn't really catch unless you're well versed in the sport but pitching ninja does overlays a lot that make it very easy to understand)
    I would also argue that it has overlap with card games as well like magic but that's a whole different topic.

    this was a fantastic video, i am a lover of traditional sports and esports.
    finding the parallels between them is so much fun to explain to people.
    I recently made a new friend and she introduced me to valorant and its a 5v5 game so I always compare it to basketball and my Time as a point guard.
    When i play, i am there to set up my teammates for success. You can't tell me grim-walling my raze up so she can shoot ppl on the plant site is the same as an olley-oop cause i fucking feel like chris paul when i do it lol.
    or when I load up with randoms and if we all know to play our roles we can communicate without explicitly talking.

    great video. one nitpick: i think leiter talking about pitching inside is not "inside the strike zone," but on the "inside" of the plate, the side closest to the batter. that's why he said lefties think it's risky and you can see them motioning to the side of the strike zone closest to the batter. pitching inside is not always a strike. they can be off the plate "inside" on the batter's hands. it's risky because you can hit the batter or you can not pitch inside enough and give up a big hit.
