SATCHEL PAIGE | Pitching Mechanics Through The Years [Rare Footage]

[@cesarbriones2419]

Vin Scully w a Satchel Paige story. Loved that you can rely on it’s validity

[@Jamestown-y9j]

Why?, because Vince Sully (who is a ⚾ treasure) word is the baseball gospel. That his statement validates this man abilities. There are stories of Satch's expoilts way before Vinny was THE Vince Sully and even in the show; Bob Feller and Dizzy Dean I'm sure had their share of stories also, whereas they actually barnstromed against Satch.

[@davidroberts7808]

OMG he did a jump scare on me from 65-70 years ago. Right at the end of the video, when showing his pitch mechanics, he threw that fastball and it literally made my jump when it took of on its trajectory. I guess I wasn't ready for it. I couldn't even imagine being behind the plate trying to catch him when he was in his prime, let alone as a 59 year old .

A fastball delayed spin.

[@TheBatugan77]

When he pitched for the AAA Miami Marlins, they drew crowds of 50,000+ at the Orange Bowl. Satch was in his 50s, and he went something like 11-4 against players less than half his age.

My god that fastball what a fade! Thankyou uploader for this! Ive read about him but never seen clear footage!

[@spcooper94]

Thank you and no problem

[@davidroberts7808]

That literally was a jump scare for me as I jerked when it went right. Couldn't imagine having to catch for him in his prime.

[@Buttermilkjug]

He was throwing a wiffle ball for that one~

To hear Vin Scully, a legend himself, tell a story about two other legends, is priceless. As a NY Met fan, I remember listening to Ralph Kiner’s stories and always had an appreciation to listen to his first hand accounts. Bob Garagiola, Phil Rizzuto, Harry Carry, Johnny Bench, and a handful of other announcers had amazing stories

[@Cyxodus]

Loved this and thanks for uploading it.

[@matrox]

05:00 Thats Steve Allen giving the interview. Who here remembers the old Steve Allen TV show?

[@matrox]

Those long arms gives those balls a lot of torque.

[@powertrip6426]

He ain't even using his legs all that much lol. That's all arm strength. His tendon in his right elbow was made from steel apparently! One of the GOATS

[@brandonconsalvo6154]

That’s probably because he didn’t throw as hard as people say with the pitching mechanics back in the day it’s possible but not possible to do consistently even nowadays it damages pitchers and we have science behind mechanics

[@Buteo14]

The GOAT

[@davidhayes7596]

It's so obvious that if Paige had been in the majors in his prime , he would be ( and still is ) unequaled. The Best.

They don't have great players like that now.

[@keithvlombardo]

All do respect to Satchel and yourself, your comment is entirely rooted in nostalgia. It takes nothing away from Satchel Paige’s place in history to recognize that there are tremendous hurlers in the modern game.

[@fzqlcs]

The greatest pitcher of all time.

[@spcooper94]

Despite not having all of his numbers, there are enough stories to go long with how well he pitched in the MLB past the age of 40 that maybe he could have been

[@ElrohirGuitar]

I miss Steve Allen too

[@Bandwithbrass]

Had a fist fight with his grandson Michael over a back yard baseball game... Around the corner from 18th and Vin and down he street from Municipal Stadium. #KCistheTown

Since you don't get to jump on folks and punch then until the other players muster the strentgh to remove you cuz you're the biggest ( second youngest ) kid in the yard.... Obviously the FIGHT ....

BLACK IMPERIAL EXCELLENCE

[@souperstar7050]

I think Satchel Paige would have won 400 games if he was in the Majors starting in his early twenties. He seemed like he had a rubber arm and could pitch forever.

[@steveschmidt6847]

Anyone think this bad-ass ever needed a pitch count?

[@simpleagain1]

Your music is DROWNING out the audio of Satchel talking and you can’t even hear what he’s saying 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[@spcooper94]

I didn’t think the music would make it too difficult for others to hear what was being spoken.

[@thommccarthy1139]

It's a song called "Xibaba" by Duke Pearson

これが人類史上最高の投手か！、金田と同じで体のしなりで投げてる、顔も殆ど動かずコントロール良いだろうな、45歳でメジャー12勝て62歳で年金貰うため１試合カムバックが３回無失点だと怪物にも程がある。

[@KlngVJames]

Satchel literally had every player on the field from all positions sit next him in a game to watch him shut out the rest of the inning cause someone ran their mouth against him. That guy was sure a monster. Plus him pitching at 62 really shows hes practically ageless

[@GeorgeSwift-qj1ik]

He was no super star like people claim. Just a mediocre ball player.
