sevenguiry that's how most Southerners are

@@dawgsfan1196 thats how nuckeballers are in general

I highly recommend reading his book, "Wherever I Wind Up". I've never played baseball, not even as a Little League-aged kid, and I thought his book was phenomenal.

@@Twister051 i have his strike out book, its most good , damn i miss R.A he was so awesome and seemed like such a great guy to have a beer with. would be cool if he could come back to the Jays or Buffalo to be a pitching coach

Had a few convos on Twitter back in his Mets days. Always very engaging and humble. Absolute legend.

That was pretty funny. Oh mercy

To Release is To Resolve 😂 fax

Maybe Position Players Who Are Turning Into Pitchers Should Give It a Shot

builds up ur dexterity a bit too, having to be more mindful and tactful with your hands on every pitch

@@19SantaMariaValley13 tim wakefield did it and had a pretty decent career

But who’s quote is that??

@@MikeConrow it's a parody of a Bruce Lee quote. Substitute pitches for kicks.

i mean.. he doesnt have to say, he shows us where the ring finger goes, emphasizing keeping his fingers off the seams. the sweetspot timing on the release is the secret here.

Too many people just want to throw heat. Then their arm burns out in 5 years and they wonder why they need surgery.

bro there is only 1 knuckleball release in 2020 :(( so sad dude

Evolution happened and all religions were founded on psychedelic drugs… u think the first person that tripped knew he ate some mushrooms and everything will be fine… nah he was like “dude I just saw god” to his buddy 😂🥱💀

He says it should spin quarter of a revolution during it's time of flight, that's just crazy

assmane999 I was a knuckleball pitcher through little league and all the way through high school. I threw a pretty good one. I would grip the horse shoe seem with the tips of my first 3 fingers and rest my pinky on the side. I'd throw it straight overhand and at the point of the release, "push" the ball out of my hand by extending my fingers. It's definitely a pitch that relies on feel and finesse

Tim White childs hand vs mans hand

@@blahblah8037 I was always big for my age. My hands were “man-size” by 9th grade and I never changed my grip throughout the rest of high school. Even now, at 28, I still grip and throw it the same way when playing catch or just messing around and still with the same results.

@@timwhite2680 You were throwing a knuckleball in HS and no college offered you a chance to go further with it ?

Lol

OMG! I cant believe I'd never seen that till I was today years old! Lol

first time an athlete used that word ever

thats so onomotapeia

me sports fan me no like big word

Intelligence is a commendable attribute. Most great pitchers are intelligent because playing smart is better than just playing hard.

sorry you're a mets fan

If you guys ever win the world series it will be the least controversial win.

Well the Mets have won two titles in 69 and 86

For the mets that was a steal, (coming from a Jay's fan) as much as I like R.A. he was kinda meh... in Toronto. Cost us Syndergaard......😔

Mets fan here too -- it hurt having to trade him, but Thor + d'Arnaud was too good a deal to pass up

Read more books. In 1933, 1833, 1733 and throughout about everything hundred twenty years society rounds up knowledge and Burns some of it off. It is imperative you use your library card, knowledge is the true currency. If a jock is high beaming your vernacular , you’ve got a serious deficit but you have the good sense to know it. I had the same sense, and I grew up homeless and couldn’t go to school. I spent most of my adult life reading. There is a reason language and knowledge is censored and people are dumbed down. Be well.

Nope! I totally used to throw a "knuckleball" every now and then in little league game... I too used my knuckles... I dug my front 2-3 fingers down under the horseshoe to where my knuckles were up against the seam, and I would throw it like that... took me awhile to be able to just throw it without the damn ball flying out of my hand way too early in the release... I had to throw it SLOW or else it would escape my grip... well, it was prob more like an extreme change up/eephus, but I remember having SOME success with it... prob if anything because I wasn't trying to throw it like Nolan Ryan, so I was actually throwing it in the strike zone LOL.

+alexreising85 all right! It may not have been as pretty as throwing a fast ball by him but watching them fumble around trying to hit it was golden. I agree, it took forever to get it right and I practiced with a softball which was way easier

You’re*

I throw a 80 mph fastball and an amazing curveball like Kershaw's and im 8

Alex Jauregui yeah well I throw 103 like Chapman and I'm 2 months old

Chandler Russell damnnnn, well you beat me

Hi 14, i'm dad... weird name, dude...

@@Mmeluso15 I throw 120 on weekdays and 140 on weekends and i's still sperm.

"Peter Griffin's grown a moustache....I KNOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!"

2 seam and 4 seam bro? Xd

+BeerAndWarcraft Wow...He won the Cy Young. Not bad for a scrub. You're dismissed.

Says the Hall of Famer known as BeerAndWarcraft

When you're pro, you only need to learn how to throw 2 pitches.

All you need is two pitches, hell a fastball could be it. Its about location mixed with velocity if I can get a 90mph FB in and up you its gonna be a strike or an easy out. Location is key not number of pitches. As Bruce Lee said "I do not fear a man who has practices 1,000 kicks once, but the man who has practiced one kick 1,000 times."
