I don't even like baseball but this guy style of pitches was out of this world, most elegant pitcher on MLB, glad I could see him perform as a kid on my hometown in Cuba ❤
Clase de animal en mi niñez solo iba al latino a verlo levantar el pie a esa altura, aún en el dominó cuando pongo la ficha número dos lo menciono como argot cubano el duque Hernández grande ❤️❤️
What an amazing story his brother and him making it to the U.S.A so they could finally get paid for their talents. Both win a World Series in their MLB rookie year.
Great video, thank you for posting. My late step-dad loved his nickname. I loved his pitching style, it definitely sets him apartment from most pitchers.
Técnica exquisita, inteligencia basada en los fundamentos del juego y un tremendo coraje para usar todos sus recursos en situaciones de presión, hicieron al Duke el mejor pítcher cubano desde el retiro del gran Tiant. Con el respeto de Rogelio y Vinent, este ha sido el mejor y lo probó donde hay que probarlo
I literally based my motion off this guy and it worked! Did the high kick and modified it. High kick and throw from behind my head and it helped a lot.
Yo jugué con el Duque, pero softbol jajaja y pelota de "manigua" después que lo separaron del béisbol en Cuba, si el leyera esto se acordaría del terreno en Boyeros , de Amigos como Pelusa, y los hermanos Palacios,.. Yoel "el cabilla", los gimaguas de la finca y muchos más ....que tiempos aquellos..!
Amigo el siempre da las gracias a ustedes en las entrevistas ,yo lo conoci en new Jersey cuando llego y empezo con los Yankees, yo era Mets y desde entoces me volvi Yankees solo por el ,grand personas, humilde ,buen tipo.
He was here in Costa Rica for a while after his escape from Cuba. He requested asylum before being picked up by the Yankees, while still practicing at the same time. You may find people here in Costa Rica who remember El Duque.
dude would pitch to a 3.8 ERA with 4-5 walks a game all season. then torre would wake him up from a nap and say "its postseason" and he became greg maddux.
No es ni el mejor pitcher cubano de la historia, pero es segundo mejor pitcher cubano de la historia y uno de los mejores en pos temporada y 4 anillos hablan por si solos
QUÉ HIZO EL DUQUE EN GRANDES LIGAS. (NADA).LO INVITARON A LLEGAR A GRANDES LIGAS. PARA MOTIVAR A TODOS LOS JUGADORES DE CUBA. DE TODAS LAS DISCIPLINAS..
Jajaja verdad que tú en pelota estás frito. El Duque ganó 4 anillos en las grandes ligas y en una ocasión fue el mvp de la series pero según tu no hiso nada en grandes ligas 🤣🤣🤣
JJJ PARA Q HACER PREGUNTAS YA M C LA RESPUESTA UNA SONRISA Y LO Q C T OCURRAPERO ORLY T GUSTA N LAS RUBIA LAS NEGRAS M REFIERO A LAS GOMAZ DEL CARROJJJ
El duque was a magician. Too bad we never got to see him in his prime. But we saw enough…one of the greatest post season pitchers ever.
Elite talent and nobody looked better in a uni
As a Yankees fan can we just go back to the late 90s please
I'll join you. My dad went to his debut game.
The best from favorite team, industriales. Blue blue 💙
Dude was a legend amongst us when we were kids lol we all would imitate his wind up
Uno de mis pichers favoritos,mucho picher tan bravo!!
I used to love watching him pitch. His wind up was the best.
Louis Tiant-esque.

@@iceman5552 pretty sure he meant this as a compliment
He was my favorite his first year .. he was perfect pitcher to me and loved every pitch.. him and Pedro Martinez were my fave
Excellent pitcher, excellent baseball player, but a very humble human being.....!
El Duque is a King.....!
My God I loved watching this dude pitch. He was a damn artist out there!! And he was SO CLUTCH.
I've never seen anyone perform better under pressure!
Nunca viste a Mariano Rivera hes a top
@@francopino1681🙄
God, I loved him.
Man, those were the days.
Yup I miss these days too I was a teen watching El Duque raising his leg 🦵🏾 high as hell hiding his pitch
La primera vez que lo vi quede hipnotizada, nunca había visto un juego de béisbol y gracias a él, hoy lo amo. Gracias Duke, eres grande!!
The movement on some of his off-speed pitches was incredible
Clase de animal en mi niñez solo iba al latino a verlo levantar el pie a esa altura, aún en el dominó cuando pongo la ficha número dos lo menciono como argot cubano el duque Hernández grande ❤️❤️
Peloterazo, lo recuerdo cuando yo era niño y venia al Victoria de Giron a pitchear contra henequeneros!!! tremendo pitcher !!!
I loved watching him pitch. Everyone did.
What an amazing story his brother and him making it to the U.S.A so they could finally get paid for their talents. Both win a World Series in their MLB rookie year.
Mets fan..El Duque is one of my all time favorites,loved the fans and was a real showman,commanded his pitches well and was most importantly,Clutch
A real warrior.....!
A Cuban - American legend.....!
one of the greatest!!!! El Duke.
One of my favorite Yankees of that era.
Just a asboulute pro in the post season🇨🇺🇨🇺
Orlando El Duque Hernandez del Guajay ,Boyeros Cuba para el Mundo !

He is just the BEST!!!
Mohamad Suleiman so dominant in his career in the postseason
La Poopy is an overrated POS; his name alone represents what he really is
The smoothest delivery ever.
Orlando el Duke hernandez. From cuba.🇨🇺 👏🏻👏🏻
I literally based my motion off this guy and it worked! Did the high kick and modified it. High kick and throw from behind my head and it helped a lot.
Where’s the clip when el Duque shout down Cleveland in game 4 of the 1998 ALCS ?

De lo mejor bonitos recuerdos picheo muy bueno.
If you have never seen espn 30 for 30 brothers in exile it's a must watch
Thank you
La Leyenda !!!
Un gran picher y grande entre los Yankees
He makes other pitchers look mechanical with how smooth his pitching motion is
El duke hernandez era mi pitcher favorito en los yankees
I saw him to many times in my hometown Santa Clara Cuba pitching vs Rolando Arrojo the good all times of the Cuban baseball.
So stylish...I miss seeing him pitch. Thornton with the Blue Jays obviously watched El Duque pitch but he doesn't have the tight high leg kick.
Best windup in mlb history
Luis tiant cough cough
He was here in Costa Rica for a while after his escape from Cuba. He requested asylum before being picked up by the Yankees, while still practicing at the same time. You may find people here in Costa Rica who remember El Duque.
Left Cuba and lived in Alajuela, Costa Rica in 83 before coming to the U.S. and what a wonderful place. We remember Costa Rica fondly. Pura Vida!
Legend!big cojones pitcher!
The best Cuban pitcher.
Luis tiant cough cough
This is the baseball from my childhood
Mi isla llena de estrellas love
Orgullo para los cubanos. El Duque Hernandez.
El duque grande entré los grandes
dude would pitch to a 3.8 ERA with 4-5 walks a game all season. then torre would wake him up from a nap and say "its postseason" and he became greg maddux.
Para mí el mejor pichel de la historia
No es ni el mejor pitcher cubano de la historia, pero es segundo mejor pitcher cubano de la historia y uno de los mejores en pos temporada y 4 anillos hablan por si solos
El mejor de todo los tiempos
I wish he did the high leg kick when throwing out the first pitch! Haha all time favorite pitcher
Was def. Thinking the same!
Is funny when he threw the glove to firts😂😂
GRANDE “EL DUQUE” 👏👏👏👏👏
His throws seem so effortless lol
lo recuerdo cuando jugó en Venezuela con los Bravos de Margarita
I've never seen an umpire go down on one knee like that
Congratulations Duke
justice for el duque n all Cubans, fidel is dead!! glad el duque got out of there safely
I met him! He came to my job
彼のドキュメンタリーを
見た時は本当に感動したな。
EL DUQUE!!! 🇨🇺
THE BEST
he would have been so much better if he wasn't like 50 years old when he made his debut
that is my people
Wow 👍🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺
1:52 Joe Torre nodding answering the question he asked himself in his head. Are we gonna win the World Series in 1998? Ummmm yes YES we are!!!
he lived off of offspeed pitches
Que Lanzador el Cubano
ORLANDITO .SALUD2S.
That thumbnail lol Looks like a Bethesda NPC glitch.
Has he ever hit himself in the nose with his knee
A White Sox great. 2005
Si no es el mejor esta entre los dos primeros

1:06 not even close. Nice job ump
It’s all in the leg lol
LLEGO L K TENIA K LLEGAR EL GUAJIRO DL WAJAY.
Man some of those calls by the umpire were atrocious. They are lucky they didn’t have the strike zone on tv back then or people would riot
@Lighthouse in the Storm some of those pitches called strikes were way out of the zone.
MLB the show anyone?
???)投げ方のクセがすごいんじゃ❗
Big time cojones in big games!
SR ORLANND2
wtf why is everyones pants so tight lol
Jimmy Hopkins
That was the style then...just like showing their "stirrups" used to be the style.
El duque tremendo piche y guapo con su bolita muerta pero tremendo guaino El mejor piche que a salido de Cuba El nino no tenia miedo
@@JesusPerez-uu6vk el mejor pitcher que a salido de cuba es luis tiant… pero si es uno de los mejores pitchers de la historia se cuba
