And that walk-off blast off Hendricks... that was a GOOD pitch, too, maybe just a touch high in the zone, but Buxton just timed it perfectly and absolutely drilled it.
I remember watching that and worrying about Munoz' control, turns out I was right to be worried lol, but hey at least yall got a very nice highlight out of it
When I saw the Rich Hill pitch, I was like ooh ok finally we're out of the position players pitching in blowout games but NOPE my man just throws slower than literal position players.
The last 4 were all on the first pitch. You obviously do scouting reports on what the guy throws before the game. You have to think he throws you a heater down the middle first pitch
@@ThankYouBroSports Dude. It's obviously MUCH easier for MLB hitters to time fast balls, than your average Joe's who have never faced fastballs in their life. It's still not EASY but most MLB players are good enough to time fastballs they know are likely coming. It's offspeed stuff being mixed in that makes it waay harder.
@Nothing Burger well no shit lmao. I played ball too. I can hit 100 if you gave me a few. What makes this incredible is from the other variables. You could also include spin and drop too.
Anyone else wondering why the Rays put Yu Chang in to pitch when they were only down 6 to the Tigers? I’m actually curious. I feel like a 6 run inning is more than possible.
He said his goal going into the season was to have a 30/30 season. He had 8 HR and 10 SB with an OPS+ of 86 in 130 games. Safe to say he fell a bit short.
This video is bull and didn’t include many of the longest homeruns in history. What about Jose Canseco’s 540 foot smash into the triple deck? How fast was that pitch going, 34 or 103?
Correct me if im wrong but isnt it easier to hit faster pitches farther out because the pitcher supplies the power? I think you get better EV on fastballs than on off speed pitches (unless you're Aaron Judge or Giancarlo Stanton)
Technically because there is greater kinetic energy but at the same time it’s harder to get perfect contact on a faster pitch. But with the same contact yes
Wait doesn't that go against projectile motion physics? Sending a projectile in the opposite direction of where it was traveling means you subtract the projectile's forces then add your own. So faster pitches have higher acceleration, meaning more newtons, so the difference in force to hit a homer with it should be higher than slower pitches right?
@@Junya01I think mostly because of the mass difference between the ball and bat, and also the relatively high coefficient of restitution the speed the ball rebounds relative to the bat would be proportional to the closing speed of the bat and ball.
Tbf they're not pitchers, they're just there to relief the actual pitchers so they get to the important/winnable games in perfect shape, it's just their prides getting hurt😅
So they were livid when Tatis hit a homer instead of taking a strike. But these teams are up 10+ and absolutely demolishing an overhand toss down the middle
@@fred_fotch_baseball Even though in a couple other places it's a capital L (SL)? there's just no way a pitch with that speed and arm-side tail is a slider
Why are the others throwing those slow pitches? Aren't those easy to hit? What's the reason for that? I don't follow baseball and only started to watch
The guys throwing the slow pitches are new to the sport and haven’t built up enough service time to throw hard yet. In MLB you have to have at least 2 years service time before you’re allowed to throw harder than 50 mph.
The people who are throwing the slow balls are non-pitchers who were put in the game to save the actual pitchers for later because they were up/down by a lot
How can a ball travel 399 ft, but land IN FRONT OF the 387 ft marker? Especially when the ball is almost dropping straight down or coming from such a high altitude.
The sign is for the wall in front of it not the actual spot of where the sign is. It's 387 to the outfield wall at that spot so if the ball went beyond the wall it was hit over 387 ft
can’t confirm if this is the reason but a lot of the time there’s discrepancies between the radar speed on the TV broadcast vs. the stadium radar speed and the recorded stat cast speed that’s put into databases for analysts to utilize. that might be an instance where the MLB database officially has the pitch at 100mph while the TV broadcast shows it at 99mph. This discrepancy may be due to a variety of factors, such as slight differences in the radar tech and the way speed is measured, the way the recorded speed is rounded (TV broadcasts like to round to the nearest whole number for simplicity while databases will round to one or two decimal places for better precision and accuracy)
The really slow throws ("pitches") are in games that are not close. The teams put in players who are not normally pitchers to save their pitchers for the next game. They are just trying to finish the game and aren't too worried about the other team scoring. Sometimes, real pitchers will throw slow pitches (eephus pitches) to surprise the batters and throw off their timing: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eephus_pitch.
The last 2 seasons it has ramped up 1000% of bringing position players in to pitch. It used to be a rare novelty act 5-10 years ago and almost none existent before that. I think it’s dumb. I get the strategy behind it, but it makes a mockery of the game. There needs to be some sort of rule set in place for it. That you can only do it once a season for emergency purposes. Idk, it just waters down the game in my opinion.

so what you’re saying is, the best way to prevent home runs is to always throw 103mph fastballs.
Or keep it below 35.

Ah yes, Albert Pujols being a part of the longest HR of the year compilation multiple times, just what we all expect from him.

Same thing with Schwarber…dude can hit absolute MISSILES

Judging by the hr distances, there appears to be a sweet spot (most energy return) at around 85 mph for a wooden bat..

I love how the pitchers look soooo devastated like they throwing some high heat 😂
Seeing these athletes crush homers off of slow pitches is so satisfying.

*Fun fact:* Not only has nobody got a home run off a 109 mph pitch, but nobody has ever made CONTACT with a 109 mph pitch in the mlb

All I see is that Daulton Varsho is a fastball hitting machine
to everyone asking- of course position players could throw a lot harder, they don’t because they/their managers don’t want to risk their arms.
These could all be inaccurate and I would never know.
