zack greinke is probably one of my favorite pitchers, because he's one of the few pitchers that used that pitch in the modern era, i believe he had a competition with another pitcher to see who could throw the slowest ball across the plate, i think his lowest ever was 51mph, he also would get bored during games, and tip batters off to his own pitches. he also hit a home run with his eyes closed to prove to his manager that hitting was really easy, and they should let him be a designated hitter. greinke was really a once in a generation talent, unfortunately many people seem to forget about him, i'm sure he doesn't mind that too much though.

The downward slider used to just be called a sinker. I liked how the names they gave pitches told you either what it was supposed to do, or how they hold it. Now it's like every pitch is named a change up, a curve, a slider, a fastball, or a knuckle ball. There's a bunch of different types of change ups - the palm ball, circle change, fork ball, etc... I just liked it when they gave us those neat little details.

The way you grip the ball, the way your arm whips forward, and the way you release the ball can all cause the ball to spin in very particular ways. Pitchers figure out how to do two to four kinds of pitches and the pros get really, *really* good at it. That pitch is somewhere in between a curve and a slider, though more on the slider side than the curve side.

Maddux’s slider is filthy not just because of the break, but because he threw that right-breaking two seam fastball and painted the outside corner with it regularly. If you watch the whole at bat with Servais, I’m willing to bet he’d already thrown that two seamer outside for a called strike. With two strikes, you have to protect the outside corner or you’re going to get rung up looking. But instead of the two seamer breaking back over the plate, he hits you with a slider that you need an oar to hit.

Man that was Gorman Thomas my favorite Brewer. I always thought those early 80s Brewer dudes looked like a softball team. Nope dude obviously would not be a good softballer
1:27, an ephus that looks almost cartoonish. As for a lot of those hooks, sliders, and curveballs, gotta admire a pitch that makes the batter look like he is swinging from the wrong zip code.
zack greinke is probably one of my favorite pitchers, because he's one of the few pitchers that used that pitch in the modern era, i believe he had a competition with another pitcher to see who could throw the slowest ball across the plate, i think his lowest ever was 51mph, he also would get bored during games, and tip batters off to his own pitches. he also hit a home run with his eyes closed to prove to his manager that hitting was really easy, and they should let him be a designated hitter. greinke was really a once in a generation talent, unfortunately many people seem to forget about him, i'm sure he doesn't mind that too much though.

Part of what makes baseball so interesting. I feel that a lot of people don't understand the strategy that goes into pitch selection and type.

0:32 the man straight up started walking off the mound immediately after releasing the ball knowing what was gonna happen.
I'm pretty sure he just got taken off the mound because of momentum and then just kept walking but sure

RIP Tim Wakefield. I met a friend of his outside a funeral and he ended up meeting me family and giving us tickets to Fenway where I got to meet a few of the players and wear his ring. He was an unbelievable kind man, and so were those he spent time around. I am sure he is resting easy.

3:06 how in the HELL did that ball change direction at the last second. It literally was going straight until the last moment then "NOPE" I'm going left.
The key is to get a ball that has been hit really hard foul. The kids bring it back. If u feel any imperfections in the ball , like a flat spot. The knuckle ball is ON. And if the threads are at all frayed, the curve ball is ON

The downward slider used to just be called a sinker. I liked how the names they gave pitches told you either what it was supposed to do, or how they hold it. Now it's like every pitch is named a change up, a curve, a slider, a fastball, or a knuckle ball. There's a bunch of different types of change ups - the palm ball, circle change, fork ball, etc... I just liked it when they gave us those neat little details.

@@tylermunene1007 CGI
The way you grip the ball, the way your arm whips forward, and the way you release the ball can all cause the ball to spin in very particular ways. Pitchers figure out how to do two to four kinds of pitches and the pros get really, *really* good at it. That pitch is somewhere in between a curve and a slider, though more on the slider side than the curve side.
Editing
Maybe the ball was scuffed.
Great vid! You got a lot a nasty pitches on there but if next time you just put the names of the pitcher while the video is playing instead of having individual titles, the video would flow better.

Yes. Wakefield threw basically 3 pitches. 95% were knuckleballs (maybe 99%) he also threw a slow fastball, and a change-up, to keep guys honest. I'm sure someone can find a clip in some game of him throwing breaking balls, but almost everything he threw was a kunckler. And he was one of the best ever at it.
You can see (pause at 1:21) that Darvish's curveball is a ball, but his catcher does a great job pulling the ball back into the strike zone.

Holy SHIT that slow hook was amazing!
Alexei Ramirez face at 0:50 was like "Ok, yeah. He got me"
the Knuckleball is such a nasty pitch. I could watch em all day
Much respect for the catchers!!
I used to pitch and still have no idea how some of these are done with so much ease. Beautiful.
Those pitches are like beautiful works of art..The practice and skill is off the charts
The Orioles had a closer years ago named Gregg Olson who had the filthiest curveball ever. It was his out pitch. Hitters knew it was coming and they still couldn't hit it.
How could you not include Rivera’s Cutter? That pitch was a nightmare.
King Felix's change-up should have made the list from his perfect game. That thing was absolutely unhittable!
How did Clayton Kershaw’s curveball NOT make this video? His curve is quite possibly the nastiest curve ever.
I know right??
Nolan Ryan has entered the chat.
Those Wakefield pitches were knuckleballs, not curveballs... how can any baseball fan not know that?
obsCuber those were curveballs. How can you not see that, just because he's a knuckle baller doesn't mean he doesn't throw other pitches.
He only threw 2 different pitches. A fastball of about 80-82mph and a knuckleball that he would throw anywhere between 55 and 75mph.
Curve and change to
Look at his arm angle.. it's obviously a knuckle
Stephen McNeil Have you ever watched baseball, buddy?
I played ball my whole life from teeball all the way up through High School. A nasty curveball is terrifying when done correctly even at the high school level. I can't imagine how difficult they look in the major league. I look at bits like at @2:39 and get frustrated just looking at it.
Knuckleball, dam. I'm a Boston guy, watching the knuckleballers is crazy, some of those pitches dance.
Who's the crowd chanting Wilson for at around 1:15 ? Their chanting along to the song Wilson as if it's a Phish show. It's pretty cool to see it used in other places like that. I'm assuming it's for a player named Wilson?
Maddux’s slider is filthy not just because of the break, but because he threw that right-breaking two seam fastball and painted the outside corner with it regularly. If you watch the whole at bat with Servais, I’m willing to bet he’d already thrown that two seamer outside for a called strike. With two strikes, you have to protect the outside corner or you’re going to get rung up looking. But instead of the two seamer breaking back over the plate, he hits you with a slider that you need an oar to hit.
*2-seam fastball
Greg had a way of getting guys to swing at pitches that were very difficult to get the bat on. For years.
You missed the Fernando Valenzuela screwball
yep
I fondly remember watching Steve Carlton pitch for the Phillies in the 1980,s . LOOK IT UP !!
I need some Barry zito curves included, awesome vid
"The same pitch as last one by a different pitcher."
I would have added Pedro Martinez with his change up the thing was legend
You tossed in some old footage. Vintage '81 Fernando Valenzuela's screwball should be in here. Wicked.
The Koufax curveball is the filthiest pitch in baseball history.
4:31 Never seen something like that.
yeah what is that, a reverse curveball.
@@simonsays6307 No idea.
@@simonsays6307 The gripping makes it look like a knuckle ball. Not sure though.
@@jorgeponce5512 maybe the ball was scuffed, or got a cut on it, cause that's something you see in whiffle ball.
That is one of the best knuckleballers of all time, and probably one of the best ones he’s ever throw
How do you forgot the nastiest pitch of all time? Mariano's cutter.....not only did it dominate lefties and righties but it broke like a thousand bats in the process. 😳
Facts
That ephus pitch is on every pitching highlight real. Legendary.
Great Compilation! One suggestion i'd , I'd like to have seen Mariano Rivera's finisher.
