Charlie Hough Teaches the Knuckleball: Part 1

[@appa561]

Can’t imagine being that young and having a legend step down to teach you fundamentals. What an incredible experience for the young man.

[@respectdawildo_danjones508]

Yeah I would have loved to have had that experience lol

[@Brocktoon68]

What does Charlie Hough know about the knuckeball? Everything. And to also be taught by this guy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5expo2Kl6qnnck.

[@RH-cv1rg]

This kid is getting invaluable training and coaching. Thanks Mr. Hough for mentoring the next generation.

[@KnuckleballNation]

Well, I do most of the training with these guys but Hough taught me right always RA Dickey and it cracked me into pro baseball without ever having played in high school or college. Hough is kind enough to come around for my actual LA clinic to spend about 10 minutes mentoring each attendee. We'll do it again this January and all are welcome

[@remme6]

First Chris, thank you very much for these videos. They're terrific! Secondly, Mr. Hough is a national treasure. What a great teacher. Patient. Generous with his knowledge. Please keep teaching.

[@KnuckleballNation]

Thanks for the kind words and I'll protect Charlie the treasure as much as possible

[@KnuckleballNation]

25 years pitching in the show and another 6 years as MLB pitching coach... all he knows is the bigs, and he still works for the dodgers

[@treyray2]

How much fun is it to watch Mr Hough teach. I really feel the teacher watched the student and tailored this lesson to this pupil. I’d love to see this young man get good at the knuckler.

[@Sharpbevel]

What an outstanding teacher. Kind and patient. Gets his teaching points across in a nice manner. Legend.

[@KnuckleballNation]

Charlie is a great guy and his teachings cracked me into pro baseball. He taught me right alongside RA Dickey and I later learned extensively from Phil Niekro. Those guys are legends

[@chrishensley6745]

This Boy is sooo Lucky......Been my dream back in the day to learn the knuckler from a man like him.

[@KnuckleballNation]

This is my LA clinic last January and Hough helps out ever year. I've also put on clinics with RA Dickey, Hall of Famer Phil Niekro, All star Steven Wright, MLB knuckleballer Mickey Jannis, and MLB infielder coming back as a knuckleballer Alex Blandino. You, your friends and family are welcome to attend any of them

[@4nik8]

Absolute gems here. Normally, with this generation I'd say "why bother with these kids?", but these kids could possibly bring the best pitch in baseball history back into play. Good on them for soaking in everything Charlie has to teach. Wakefield was already an MLB pitcher and he seeked out help from the Niekro brothers

[@KnuckleballNation]

Wakefield first went to Hough in Florida during Spring Training. Hough said that Tim brought a pen, pad of paper, and a tape recorder. Hough also said that he never pitched as well as Timmy... or as bad. He's got some great quotes.

[@KnuckleballNation]

But the next great knuckleballer is out there, so I'm hoping my small business -- Knuckleball Nation -- brings them the info they need because that's all that's required to make it happen. I've been working with Alex Blandino -- former first rounder and MLB infielder -- as he's currently making a comeback with the Reds as a full-time knuckleballer. He's got a shot. Look out for him.

[@deetrain13]

Learned this pitch all by myself from 10-25 now. Wish I had gotten some lessons, because the amount of people I taught how to allow the ball to sit in the hand and come out correctly comes back to mind so hard!!😊

[@bbrooks34]

Charlie is a great person, met him as child in 1972 winterball in the DR. Always been one of my favorite MLB players!

[@KnuckleballNation]

Charlie is a great person. He took me under his wing alongside RA Dickey and it turned me into a pro knuckleball pitcher... after never having played in high school or college

[@Dr_Taco_MD]

I could sit here for hours and just listening to Mr. Hough teach pitching. This is awesome.

[@KnuckleballNation]

Mr Hough took me under his wing years ago and I learned the knuckleball right alongside RA Dickey. I broke into pro baseball as a knuckleballer after never having played in high school or college. The first game I ever pitched on a regulation diamond was at the AA level. Of course, Dickey had a little bit better of a career, but I did play an entire season with an average spin rate of 65 RPM and I haven't seen any better data from anyone, so... I got that going for me. Essentially, I throw the best classic knuckleball in the world.

[@phaedris]

I remember watching him throw that knuckleball when he pitched for the WhiteSox. He was amazing.

[@jakexou812]

[@KnuckleballNation]

@@nunyabidness7547 No, he not only doesn't throw a perfect one, he doesn't throw it under the turbulence threshold. It's gotta be under 250-300 rpm depending on conditions to actually Knuckle. I'm assuming his average spin rate is 700-ish. It's a forkball held like a knuckleball. Sure, he squares one up occasionally that actually knuckles, but the catcher doesn't even use a custom mitt. That's all you need to know.

Charlie was the starter for the very first game of (then Florida) Marlins history at Joe Robbie stadium in Miami, 1993.

[@chadmckeighan8626]

Matt Waldron played for NU, he was a great pitcher back in the day and now has elevated his game by utilizing the knuckleball. Im a Coach and instructor and believe that the antidote for defeating the FB first big name schools is the knuckleball. The difference in speed freezes batters and hardly anyone utilizes the pitch.

[@tomcole4736]

when I was 10 and starting my Little League career if you will, my coach that drafted me, yes we had to try out and the coaches drafted us, I was very lucky and my coach had actually played baseball in the minors for the Cardinals organization. He was a stickler for fundemantals and it served me well in my baseball path. He taught me how to throw a knuckle. Back in the early 70's kids trying to throw curve balls and the like can ruin their arms, this was before tommy john surgerty was even thought of. So he tried to teach other pitches that would not hurt our development as we grew older. By the time I was 12 and I had a really good knuckle ball, as long as I did not chew my finger nails, which was had to do and really pissed him off. but I developed 4 really good pitches, fast ball, he taught me a slider, which I though was a curve but the hand postion and release was much better for my elboe as well as it looked like one of my regular pitches. things we did not think about that back then, chnage up and the knuckle ball. After my baseball career was ended in High Scholl with a catastrophic ankle injury I went on to sow pitch softball and some fast pitch for awhile where my knuckle ball was very prominent. I sucummed to the slow pitch lifestyl with beer and the dugout during the week leagues and then traveling on the weeknds to tournaments. Knuckle ball in tow. Funny, you can make the ball move in slow pitch softball

[@frankfarklesberry]

Young man is all over the place. Charlie is being kind. More leg explosion, less arm. Be more compact, with a consistent delivery. If he did those things, he'd throw with more heat and accuracy.

[@MichaelLabriola-f8s]

Billy Loes of the 55 Brooklyn Dodgers used to attend my little league games and watch us play stick ball. He never gave me advice. I got everyone out anyway plus all the adults, coaches, hoboes, passer byes, punks, grand dads, etc.😅

Youth we all been there

[@RoosterHeadd69]

playing catch with Charlie Hough...

[@KnuckleballNation]

Charlie could really throw it when he first taught me the pitch alongside RA Dickey in Orange County. Despite 6 shoulder surgeries and the inability to lift his arm above his shoulder. It was surreal watching that thing sail in with no rotation. Then his mentorship cracked me into pro baseball as a knuckleballer where I averaged 65 RPM one season (I believe that's the best ever recorded), so I get to put that kind of awe into kids when I play catch with them now.

[@davidperez909]

Charlie's still gotta be chuckin' it somewhere!

[@KnuckleballNation]

In his car. He keeps an MLB ball in there so he can hold the knuckleball while he drives and he tosses them into his other hand at stop lights. This is real.

[@KnuckleballNation]

Finally, someone understands. The internet likes to hold these kids accountable for being RA Dickey -- nasty movement that hits the catcher -- when they are just starting to learn the craft and won't be "nasty" by big league terms for years. These kids are good.

[@hpblack1953]

I'd love to see the knuckleball make a come back. When your team needs an out, putting that wiffle ball in the face of an unsuspecting batter will a) get a whiff or ground out or b) clear the benches.

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

Really cool. What about kids with big hands? Also do you keep the wrist locked the whole way or do you allow the wrist to flop like in basketball? I noticed Hough did that at the very end. Snapped his wrist like a shooter would

[@KnuckleballNation]

Charlie has big hands. It's helpful. And there are two ways to approach the wrist. Charlie was taught by Hoyt Wilhelm and then Charlie taught me the loose wrist. Wakefield and Niekro used a stiff wrist, but the stiff wrist is foreign to me. I feel like you can micro adjust DURING the throw with a loose wrist and you can gradually clamp down with just enough force. You have to be mechanically perfect with a stiff wrist because there are no in-throw adjustments. You're literally wrist locked in.

[@MichaelLabriola-f8s]

Charlie does events with Reggie. They sign baseballs together, so he's got a good sense of humor about it.

[@mrmalcolmone]

Watch the footage of Charlie Knuckleball at the 86Allstar Game. You will notice he has a ritual of grabbing the rosin bag then a handful of dirt from mound and tossing it back down while still bent over. IMO.... This is to keep his hand free from directly coming into contact with the ball minimizing as much friction as possible upon release. I began throwing the knuckleball since Little League and throwing it correctly since my senior year... And conscious of what it was I did to throw them correctly. What makes the knuckleball difficult to learn is it os one of the few pitches you have to make up your own rules of thumb to master. *if the one's floating around out there don't work for you or you have never heard them. The most important part of a knuckleball grip is your hips and your big toe. Your thumb is 8-11% as important as the other 2, 3, 4!? fingers gripping the ball. One should manifest the abandon of throwing a dart accurately enough to hit any partbof a dartboard from ~35-40 feet away 5 feet off the ground. because.......one is perfectly conscious of throwing a dart without making it tumble, etc. without having to short arm it or push it upon release. It's being conscious of where one's particular release point is where one needs to already have the maximum inertia one's arm and !!!!HIPS!!!!!HIPS!!!!!!HIPS!!!!! can comfortably manufacture in time. That is why I suspect he had him throwing them half speed. To "feeeeeeel......." the release point. And most importantly. When someone throws their firt successful knuckleball, one that performs the optical illusion of a corkscrew*. or takes a wrong turn at Albuquerque then dives straight down like a nail hitting a knot while being hammered onto a post, etc.... STOP Let it sink in what it was you did on thst particular throw to make it happen. Write it down. Then the next day warm up throwing fastballs adequate enough to make that soft hiss even if indoors but never so hard your going "balls out". Then start applying all them rules of thumb you wrote down and..... NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU THROW IT YOU GOTTA BE FASTER AT SLOWING YOUR ROLL! use the fource.................. its not so much flicking it as it is your thum agreeing with your fingers as they agree with the ball getting heavy with momentum. Any torque you create with your arm makes your release point shrink to near impossible far as successfully releasing the ball void of spin. One must be conscious of creating torque with their hips and having their release occur as this is st it's maximum potential and or just beginning to retard. A window of ~just less than a second. One must compartmenta lize everything one must be focused on throwing a good knuckleball and getting into fielding position as 2 separate, independent souls. Like catching a football then...... running for the touchdown! don't you hate it when they start thinking touchdown a second too soon then drop it wide open!? Your hips take 3/4 of the spin off for generating

[@KnuckleballNation]

Charlie talks about why he did that in this video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJS2nWx5jtutppo

[@maxpuppy96]

You got to be committed to the knuckleball, its all or nothing and there will be days that you will struggle but it can be thrown in the majors. Finding a manager that will sit on his hands is another problem they have no patience for it.

I was a bit too young to really appreciate Hough growing up, but I grew up in Boston watching Wakefield as much as I could. In fact, I would get on the train into Fenway without a ticket on the night of his started hoping ticket window E would cough up a few after the first or second inning. It usually worked. I've seen Wake live dozens of times and took notes in a notebook on how to throw it. I didn't know what I was looking for back then, but I was obsessed. And he was the only knuckleballer I didn't befriend before is passing.

[@KnuckleballNation]

I threw for Hough years ago and he called me "Horse(bleep) with potential." It was the best compliment I've ever received. It earned me an invitation to his house where he mentored me on the knuckleball for months alongside RA Dickey, and his tutelage earned me a spot in professional baseball after never having played in High School or College. And I leveraged that pro experience to work extensively with Phil Niekro for years before his passing.

[@wheelinthesky300]

This kid has a decent arm. But his motion is violent and he hasn't perfected his release point or body elevation so his fastball is too high. I would also add it has has no natural movement on it at all. Its straight and as he faces better competition will get crushed the rare times he gets it in the zone. Charlie correctly discerned that his current mechanics are not conducive to throwing a knuckleball. So he had him slow down, not just his arm speed, but his delivery. And he starts tossing a quality knuckleball. A decision must be made: Either he's a mediocre conventional pitcher with a praying mantis herky jerky arms and legs sprawling delivery, or he decelerates and exclusively throws knuckleballs. His motion will evolve to support the pitch. When he throws a fastball, he's just THROWING. When he follows Charlie's advice and goes full knuckle, he starts PITCHING.
