The essence and beauty of the game starts with pitching, not hitting. I always admire quality pitching when watching a ballgame.

[@rickyricardo4331]

Lord a mercy. It's already hard enough to hit a 3-inch ball of cowhide coming at you at 90+ mph with a two-inch stick, but when they're tossing the equivalent of video game cheat codes at you? Much respect for batters who can actually make contact with that and to the pitchers who pull it off! That pitch at 6:18...my god.

[@markb20]

My favorite- a pitch by Seattle's Dan Altavilla broke so much that after the Red's Jordan Patterson swung and missed, the pitch continued breaking, went between his legs and was caught by the catcher. Incredible.

[@jordansmith6600]

Crazy af

[@martinpye549]

For someone who played a lot of baseball in the minors in Australia , I truly appreciate the art of these balls. I was no great achiever in the game, and often came on as a relief pitcher. MY fast ball wasn't fast , my curve ball didn't curve, and forget about breakers etc. But I actually enjoyed the challenge of being on the mound, knowing full well I had none of these in the locker. Still did OK, though.

[@karlnystedt3111]

What people often forget,is that the previous pitch is usually what makes the killer pitch unhittable.One of the best two hit sequences I've seen is Alec Manoah throwing back to back pitches almost the same speed,but the first one broke hard and late to one side,the second broke hard and late to the other side.When the videos pitches were overlaid,there was no discernable difference in the delivery or trajectory until about ten feet in front of the plate,but then there was a split,and the two balls crossed the plate almost two feet apart,and hit the catcher's glove almost three feet apart.

[@jayp.6166]

Manoah is a freak. Broke in to the Show at 23 and immediately began throwing at near Cy Young caliber and still hasn't had a stretch of bad starts. The evolution of his two-seamer has made him eve more dominant this season. He's been using it as his out pitch a lot this season forcing hitters to have to guess between three pitches instead of two....and, all three of this pitches (4-seam, 2-seam, slider) all look the same out of his hand....which is what I believe you were eluding to in your comment

There are very few videos that I watch more than once but this was an exception. Almost feel sorry for the batters.

[@agwbcfjc2]

This level of pitching is what helps make baseball baseball. Nuttin' like it.

[@agwbcfjc2]

@Lighthouse in the Storm Sure, one way to describe an aspect of pitching, in baseball, would be "action at a distance". (You may have heard that term before, applied to other activities.) The pitcher pitches the ball, and depending on his talent, the ball will make dramatic movements (action) near home plate, sixty feet six inches (distance) from the pitcher. This causes the hitter to swing and miss. There are names for the different kinds of movement such as curve or slider, just to name two kinds of pitches. There are numerous videos to explain better than I can about pitching in baseball. I hope you'll look into them. Cheers!

[@DavidDeelLoco]

When I was a kid I either wanted to be a pitcher or MLB or a goalie for the NHL. BUT, I couldn't get near the plate with any consistency what so ever and I couldn't skate. Glad I'm flexible with my dreams.

[@Brian_Patrick]

At some point you're committed to the swing and the best you can hope for after the ball drops a foot and a half while you're swinging is chase it for a foul tip.

[@eway4455]

Whiffle ball is spot on. These pitches are dream killers

[@The_Irate_Penguin]

Growing up in Central America, I recall my parents taking me to Miami for a weekend holiday, some time around 1970 or 71-ish, and as luck would have it, there was a big event at some venue, where visitors could line up to "challenge" famous basketball, football, golf, et al. players. At the time I was transitioning from being a die-hard Big Red Machine fan (did a double-year as exchange student in Ohio), to becoming an Amazin' Mets groupie (as I was accepted by NYU), so I lined up for 2 hours to try to hit a pitch thrown by Nolan Ryan. I've been shot (at) twice: 1968 in Panama City and 1979 in Managua, but never was I more terrified than seeing a Nolan Ryan 12-6 curve thrown right at my temple. The question of somehow hitting that pitch is ridiculous, one is simply concentrating on not assuming a fetal position in the dirt or wetting oneself (I managed to avoid the latter, not the former). Obviously, this was not Ryan's iconic 12-6, but just a tired lob, but please leave me a bit of dignity while I brush the dirt off.

[@mckay91095]

Chris Sale's Slider is absolutely insane

[@omni201]

The thing that I respect about pitchers in general is that the overhand throwing motion is unnatural to begin with. But these guys perform this motion as hard as they can, over and over and OVER. Many of them for YEARS. These guys are no joke- the sometimes accidentally beam the batters. Can you imagine getting beamed by a pitcher who INTENTIONALLY tries to hit you?! I remember playing Wall Ball with kids my age who played baseball and when they nailed you it was accurate and painful.

[@Alternatedimension2]

[@tvd-theremedy2515]

In a video full of insanity, the most insane (to me, sitting here trying to imagine hitting these pitches) might be the Rays pitcher (Alvarado ?) at about 0:30. That might be the nastiest 2 seamer I’ve ever seen. As impressive as all of these pitches are, there’s just something extra satisfying in seeing the ball “back up” like that, especially when it’s already coming in at 100mph.

[@vmcmark7578]

@6:20; The guy swings at a pitch that after he missed it, the catcher stopped it behind the batter AFTER IT WENT BETWEEN THE BATTERS LEGS!! Pitch coming DIRECTLY AT YOUR CORE, you swing & miss & it drops down enough to slip thru the 5 hole, AWESOME PITCHING!!!

[@dodgers4life244]

4 seams travel straight. Pitches like the sinker/two-seam, cutters, and running fastballs move a ton

[@kodalycat906]

@@dodgers4life244 That's right. Laugh at what they call a change these days (a 2-seamer, off-speed w/movement) 'cause it's so different from a "straight" change of yore. If I recollect correctly, it was thrown at the ideal moment after heaving gas (~ 94, 95 mph) on several consecutive pitches using the exact same delivery as that 4 seamer but slung about 78 - 80 mph.

[@DeereX748]

Back in the day when we had only three channels and black and white tv’s, there was a debate if the curve ball actually curved on the way to the plate. Baseball players all said the ball did change direction. Others tried to prove it was impossible for a ball going that distance at that speed to curve. That a curve ball was an optical illusion of some sort. High Def. and super slo-mo replays put that argument to rest.
