- There are a lot of Great Pitchers who throw some devastating pitches in the Majors. But sometimes the best route to take is the simplest. Bill Ripken breaks down how effective the Fastball/Changeup combo really is on MLB Tonight.
"Hitting is timing. Pitching is disruption of that timing." -Warren Spahn
Yeah he just said that....
That is a quote attributed to Warren Spahn
U know Christ
it makes hitting (and baseball in general) sound SO easy. ha.
@@tomp4925 edited, thanks.
I feel like he's mad at me.
U know Christ
He knows what you did last summer
Normally I hate listening to Bill Ripken blabble his ass off, but this time was an exception. A very important video which should be talked about more in the game, along a lot of other stuff these guys go over while in studio 42
U know Christ
Not usually a Ripken fan, BUT this is the best use of video and camera placement to describe a changeup. It's kind of like "Changeup for Dummies" and it works. Great vid.
This was a very interesting and clear analysis. I liked the video comparisons of the effect on the batters of the two pitches. I watched this video twice - the second time at 0.75 speed, to study the difference better. Nice work, Mr. Ripken!
U know Christ
Mr. BR, i love your coaching style and how you explain things. Great work!
U know Christ
holy shit Cal Ripken crushed this analysis.
Isn't tunneling the pitches a huge part of this too? I feel like he showed it, but didn't talk about it.
Billy Ripken is fixated on the AL. How 'bout giving us a look at Kyle Hendricks, who led the NL in ERA last year with about as diabolical a changeup as you're likely to see?
rick rose exactly. Al is irrelevant bc they have DH who can’t play both sides of the games
when you throw a 90mph heater by someone it's an "educated" fastball.
I’m a Brit so I’m new to this great game but it’s about the pitcher getting his craft right and learning to have absolutely zero changes in their action regardless of what pitch they’re using
An important fact to also point out is that the pitcher's arm speed is identical on both pitches, so there's no chance you'll know what's coming until it's too late...
So a change up is a slow fastball pardon my redundancy.
Great analysis!
so good
U know Christ
Former Giants gm Brian Sabean always said 90mph is plenty of fastball to get guys out. So many pitchers today are throwing in the upper 90s and sit at 98 even 99, but without command of the heater and their other pitches they're just throwers, not pitchers.
Well Done.
this is very nice, thanks for sharing
If there late an a fastball shouldn't you attack them again with another one because there late, or a breaking ball going away from the hitter or back door
changeup makes fastball faster
Show this to someone who doesn’t watch baseball.
That was awesome. Great views.
so good
Excellent. Finally I get it
Hitting homers looks effortless on TV. Hitting is not easy.
his explanation is very helpful. from japan
Let's go mets
We suck #fireterry
Great Stuff
so good
Ths was awesome

Explained perfectly by Bill Ripken
I'd like to know *why* the well-pitched fastball is the best, but okay...
He said well-placed. If you hit the perfect spot with the right speed, the hitter is utterly helpless.
Very educational..
I have really short fingers and could not grip the ball enough for changeup. Can I use split finger as my main off speed pitch? need help
whatever works, if you can locate it, why not?
The Splitter is a retirement pitch. Just get the ball's center away and off your dominant Pointer finger in whatever grip you can control without putting stress on your ligaments. You dont need more then a 6 mph difference in speed to induce poor contact from batters. The Changeup is truly a Magic thing as no two Changeups are the same but before you find your Magic you should Perfect a main Pitch from the Fastball Family of Four-seam; Two-seam; Sinker; Cutter as those pitches can be effective in more places of the strike zone then where the Changeup can be effective which is predominantly Down in the zone and if setup properly - Outside.
Valentin Slavov Thanks man! Ill do that
Not that in to baseball, as of matter of fact, more into fotball (soccer) if anything else. However, what i know from baseball is that if you have an breakball that sticks, and use your fast balls well, you can be an devistation in the field. Best of luck with your sports cariee, no matter what sport you want to do and always do your best and you will be reconised as an athlete
Marco Estrada the best change up and fastball
Far from the best fastball. But his Change-up has the most vertical drop of anyone I baseball.
kyle Hendricks has the best changeup
Estrada's fastball is only so good because his change up is phenomenal
+GIGANTES 19 David price? Salazar? Scherzer? Cole hamlels? Gausman? Bundy? Tillman?
Hamels*
change of pace
ask Tom Glavine
Yankees
theres no way that batters box is 6 feet long
preach it
U know Christ
What was Billy's lifetime batting average? Oh I forgot: His father was the coach!
He was a .250 hitter and played great defense. Your point?
@@Caruso_is_king The only reason he was on the team or even got scouted was that his father was the coach/manager. You know the type! These guys often end up psychotic when they start to experience life without their old man leading the power sweep for them.
@@karamazovkid71 he still hit lifetime .250 against big league pitching. Not spectacular for sure but also not the worst. He played from 1997-98 for many teams not managed by his father. Your comment is bs.
