As a former pitcher adding a body-jerk or any additional sudden movement to throw off a batter's timing was always key. The trick is not letting it interfere with your follow-through.

[@XxMidnightToker420xX]

It deff works if it's enough to throw me off as the viewer I can only imagine how much it can fuck you up during a big game under pressure tens of thousands of people shouting and hollering. Yeah that shit will fuck you up I'm surprised pitchers don't do weird little things like that more often. I'm not huge on baseball so I don't know what the limits are to how much you can move around or what kind of gestures your aloud to make can you wave your arms around can you take steps backwards forwards? Is there a time limit to how long you can stall until you have to throw your next pitch?

All of these pitchers have these things in common. They all throw off the batters rhythm or timing of a pitch and swing and they all are good at hiding the pitch that they are about to throw. Some pitchers will stand or position themselves or their arm a certain way when they throw a certain pitch. Each of these pitchers throw the exact same way Everytime and hide their pitches.

Why would it be?

[@marauderhd6885]

Plus there weren't any runners on base, it's impossible to call a balk.

[@rivzzietv521]

he only pitches like that with no runners

[@rootofallevi]

i think b/c it one continious motion

[@bmxtwentyfive7053]

Balks are possible with no runners on, example if you drop the ball while on the mound. It just counts as a ball instead of the runners advancing. But to answer the overall question, it isn't a balk

[@brads6304]

Allright Cueto was just brilliant though. That shoulder dance looking away from the batter, totally throws you off. My favorite I think.

[@hakon_brennus_wolff106]

It’s a miracle Jordan Walden’s elbow never snapped with all that jerking last minute torque he was putting on it. I cringe every time I see his mechanics and I bet a bunch of sports doctors did too.

[@hofifut]

You missed Charlie Leibrandt, and you included guys who simply throw side arm. WTF?

[@charlestonchewy]

Not exactly, they missed Terry Leach of the Mets.

[@eauhomme]

And Leibrandt didn't even have the weirdest motion of the Royals' rotation. How about Mark Gubicza, landing on his knee after each pitch.

[@carter2132]

Yea it's like if you don't throw overhand then your pitching style is wired

[@TeemoQuinton]

Carter I argue overhand is the weirdest, the mechanics they want borderline on injury, I swear

[@solocup4545]

Dontrelle Willis Looking like a Gymnastics Dude LOL!

[@bastigreen]

The "throws" of Hideo Nomo look fucking clean tbh.

[@JmAnHiLl54]

Kershaw? and Brad Zeigler?

[@greyk610]

I was expecting to see Ziegler forsure..

[@roguebot6132]

JmAnHiLl54 idk if Kershaw's delivery is all that odd, besides that goofy way he comes to rest in the stretch. He works uphill, but I don't see much else that's weird.

[@JmAnHiLl54]

Randall P. McMurphy the video is called pitching styles for a reason. not pitching deliveries. even then it's still different dude😂

[@Waytogo200winsWaino]

I such remember that Mike Gonzalez is also pitching weird like K-ROD and Mitch Williams

[@roguebot6132]

JmAnHiLl54 pitching "styles"...is that a thing? Sounds like something my wife would say.

[@Sciguy95]

Dan Quisenberry looks more like he is playing softball than MLB.

[@poeter14]

He does. But submarines are hard to hit and hard to pitch.

[@celinagonzalez3911]

🚨!!!ALERTA !!!! 🚨REGALAN 💰💰💰POR APRENDER ESTA MUJER LO ESTA 📢🔊📻 👉👉👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoi4ZmObna52nMk

[@joewilliams6243]

He learned to pitch submarine from Kent Tekulve

[@washhtswarrior6411]

0:31 is the monty python silly walks version of baseball

[@idekbruh9932]

tim lincecum has perfect mechanics, not weird

[@SuperDuffyj]

Tim Lincecum wasn't in the video.

[@justinbrock7782]

+Jordan Duffy Yes he was

[@Snarfie]

he is at 7:35 it's just that uploader didnt put his name in there

[@CoochieMonster22]

Perfect mechanics IS weird, in the truest sense.

[@SuperDuffyj]

Justin Brock snarfadoodle nevermind, idk how I missed him.

[@rizzorizzo2311]

You gotta add Luis Garcia with his fuckin baby rocking salsa wind up.

[@seanno9744]

Lincecum’s destroyed his body but god damn it was a work of art

[@okuyasu4033]

Seann O Dude has completely busted hips now

[@mitchrc3]

Same for Pedro Martinez.

[@AGKaiju]

Reason why he was dubbed "The Freak".

[@demonreturns4336]

What happened to him??

[@Malibu1515]

Greatest pitcher I ever saw pitch. In his prime NOBODY could touch him. Had the greatest changup I've ever seen.

[@joshwood5215]

...does the catcher have his nails painted at 4:17?

[@glowingman3435]

Josh Wood yes, many catchers paint their nails so pitchers can get a better view when he makes hand signs. The yellow nails help pitchers out a lot

[@brycevant31]

Yes that is correct

[@carlcushmanhybels8159]

I was waiting and hoping Juan Marichal would be in this. He is. With his whoppingly high kick. Very cool looking. I remember trying to pitch like him. But pitching that way takes a lot of time. So base runners can do.... And that high kick didn't (for me) add much speed, and worsened control. Looked cool though.

[@NickPR87]

Duque's high kick looked so badass! By far my favorite pitcher to watch and I'm not even a Yankees fan.

[@adang9948]

Alex wood probably has to have the weirdest delivery it's so uncomfortable like if he wasn't left handed.

[@theForrestGalantey]

Looks like hes going to have a lot of shoulder and elbow issues.

[@dizpark8546]

V

[@dizpark8546]

It was weird

[@Waytogo200winsWaino]

such like he is drunk

[@briefmichael]

Well he is 7-0 with a 1.90 ERA this year (2017) so he must be comfortable.

[@Tam0de]

Jason Isringhausen should have been here. I remember him having his own funky way of setting his lead foot down that threw off many batters' timing. It's as if he's setting his lead foot down TWICE in the same pitching movement - the best way i could describe it. As for pitchers that are still active & pitching today, Nestor 'The Molestor' Cortes has his own way of odd movements designed to mess up hitters & their timing.

[@edcevo3052]

I was about to say. No Hideo Nomo but he’s in there. I loved watching him pitch!

[@nacoran]

Nice list! When I saw Quisenberry on there I thought, what about Tekulve! (but you got to him!) Only two, off the top of my head, that could have been on there that weren't, were Fernando Valenzuela (he didn't look as he delivered, his eyes look up at the lid on his cap) and Mitch Williams, who would nearly be standing backwards by the time he finished delivering.

[@Son-Of-David1990]

if you pause at 8:35 the big guy in the stands with the black shirt with a lanyard around his neck just to the right of the umpire impersonating craig kimbrell. there is a guy sitting down looking over to the right of him that looks to be in all black and white like hes from a 1920s picture.

[@thedude4922]

Omg that's creepy

[@ianfransen944]

I just love Walden’s mechanics. A pitching coach from Australia(I’m from the Netherlands BTW) learned me to push off of the plate to gain more power and speed and this is why I love his mechanics. He does the thing I learned

[@POOPGOD999]

Taught me or learned me

[@daverotes2115]

For some of these pitching styles, I wonder how they keep their balance it’s very impressive lol

[@Imalrightma]

1:58 i could not watch him pitch a game without losing focus to lmao...that little shimmy shoulder shakes kills me

[@tommy_casual]

Hideki Okajima had a weird as hell head-move when he'd pitch. It was almost inhuman lol.

[@pei9365]

not look pitching

[@kohashiguchi1454]

So happy you included slo-mo of Satchel Paige :)

[@imsonotandy]

1:22 bro playing softball. all these goofy pitches

[@spartan1347981]

Idk why Luis Tiant was my favourite out of all of them, maybe I like just how much extra body rotation he gets? Something about it is beautiful to me anyhows

[@wildcat314]

Tiant was fun to watch. He would occasionally not turn his back to home plate, and use a more normal delivery which threw the timing of the hitters off as well.

[@natedizzle2321]

Forgot Fernando Valenzuela looking up to the sky lol

[@sunghaneul]

Maybe it’s bcoz I’m new to baseball but the pitcher in 5:32 his pitch seems like it kinda... goes still mid air for a lil too long... what do u call that??? It’s so fascinating to me? Can sm1 explain it??

[@nyirobiojulu3743]

I always loved Neschek, Capps, and Lincecum’s pitching styles all of these styles are dope tbh
