British Guy Reacts To MLB Unreal Super Nasty Pitches Compilation

British Guys react to MLB different pitches. I had no idea how many Baseball / MLB Pitches there are. How does anyone memorise all these?! Our First Time MLB Reaction. Watch Me take a look at all of the different pitches in Baseball, come on the journey as I look to grow our understanding in this sport. A First Time Reaction for our British Reaction Channel!

Watching compilations like this really helps show just how hard it is to hit a baseball. Frankly it's a small miracle anyone ever makes contact at all 😂

The ball moves because it's not perfectly round. It has a leather covering that is sewn on and the seams are raised. The pitcher then is able to make the ball spin in unique ways causing to curve and/or drop. On the other hand, there's a way to throw the ball so there's no spin to it, a knuckleball, that floats randomly like a balloon. And yes the pitchers know exactly what they're throwing.

[MattMichaelVO]

In answer to your question; pitchers know the intended location of a pitch but a pitch can miss based on may variables, such as - if their release point is off - they may not get the exact grip they've intended - fatigue. You'll hear announcers say, "That pitch missed", or, "That one stayed up in the zone." Batters love the mistakes.

Pitching Ninja would be a good channel to go check out. Especialy the videos when he interviews MLB pitchers

[Khaoki]

The ball moves because the seams are interacting with the air and distorting the pressure around the ball

[electrostatic]

Some pitchers know exactly where the ball will go better than others, but they all have an idea. If you want to see a master of control look up Greg Maddux.

Baseballs APPEAR to drop late because the spin causes the drop to accelerate while the speed of the ball is slowing down. It is really more how we perceive the ball and not what it is actually doing.

[scaredturtle]

Those pitches that drop out the zone. Baseball terminology would be. The bottom fell out. I don’t know why. Or the bottom fell out of that one. They know how it’s going to move for the most part. Like in sliders and slurves, they gotta get around ball, (either with hand position, or arm position) if that makes sense. And the more around they can get it to move more or gain speed or both.

In high school I faced a few pitchers that would then go onto minor league teams after college. 1 was drafted by the Cubs. Ill just say this…The 90 mph slider is the nastiest pitch Ive experienced firsthand. Looks like a fastball at first bc of its speed and you have no time to notice a spin bc of the velocity. By the time the ball crosses the plate you are covering your face bc you thought it was coming right at you when in reality it curves right down the middle of the plate lol. Buckles the knees.

[SkewtLilbttm]

That knuckleball that zero spin that didn't get any reaction from you was a beautiful pitch

[FizzyCape]

To answer your question about if pitchers know how the ball will move, they know exactly how it SHOULD move, but lots of variables can effect that.

They know exactly what the pitch does and where it goes when thrown perfectly, but many things can happen to prevent the ball from being thrown perfectly.

[anonymous__________________]

It's been proven that hitting a major league pitcher should be scientifically impossible - also 100 mph is about 160 kph

[SargNickFury]

The catchers that work with knuckle ball pitchers are unsung heroes.

[altlagg]

The movement of breaking pitches is a complex combination of factors, but mostly the rotation you're able to get on the ball. The seams (those red stitches that hold the white leather together) create friction against the air itself as it moves. The more it rotates, the more the pitch will move. While I think the velocity dropoff does play a part in it, I'm pretty sure it's not a very large part.

Also, the one pitch you mentioned that you didn't see looked like it was a knuckleball in slow motion. That's a pitch that's thrown so that there's very little rotation, usually only about one or two rotations for the entire trip to the catcher. The idea is to create very unpredictable movement by randomizing the amount of air grabbed by the seams mid-flight. It's sadly almost completely abandoned these days.

1:41 Knuckle ball - It has no spin on it so it tends to float about, tiny moves up, down, left and right. If you watch it, you can see the seams are barely moving. Those tiny moves throw off the batters perception (and the catchers) and make them really hard to hit (and catch).

[tedsmith]

You need to watch a video on spin rate if you want to know the physics behind breaking balls.

[josephmorneau]

The batter only gets to run after the catcher misses a third strike and first base isn't already occupied.

[Phoenix]

Each pitch works because of spin.

The more spin on one direction, the more it moves the opposite way.

Curveballs, the ones that drop down around 75ish mph work with spin on the top and sometimes side of the ball, it makes it cut down very hard and sometimes it moves to the side as well.

Sliders work with spin on the side, and give a huge sideways cut that is pretty much impossible to touch.

Each pitch is slightly different.

A pitcher throws each pitch tens of thousands of times, so they know very well how it will move.

However, sometimes they slip a little and it doesn't spin as fast, making it move less and usually ends up getting hit.

Throwing perfect pitches is something that nobody can do, it's too stressful on the arm and too difficult to get the same spin every time.

A perfect fastball every single time will tear the elbow or dislocate the shoulder very quick.

A perfect breaking ball will tear the elbow or snap a wrist.

It's not uncommon for pitchers to end their career with injury, because the arm is being used so much with so much force (the most force on the shoulder out of any sport on the planet) that it is very hard to continue using it.

The price for those injuries are usually amazing pitches, so usually the best pitchers get hurt, and it is never good to see

You should react to the fastest pitches in MLB and NCAA Baseball

To compare it to (I assume) your favorite sport, these huge hooking curveballs are nearly identical to *that* one free kick Dimitri Payet scored a few years back. The pitcher puts enough topspin on the ball, the ball will suddenly dip down with gravity about halfway to the plate. The stitching on baseballs cause them to move way stronger compared to that of a football, as the stitching creates much more air friction on the ball.

Should also be worth mentioning that, almost every major league pitcher has a similar breaking ball, with topspin as its main feature. Meanwhile, to get topspin on a football off of set pieces… only set piece specialists can truly pull that off. Payet was just most well known simply because he was able to get an absolutely absurd amount of dip on his shots, which (and this is no coincidence) froze keepers in their tracks, just like a brutal breaking ball can freeze or choke up a batter.
