The Funniest Pitcher in Baseball

[@AndThatsBaseball]

He struck out Jose Ramirez the other day and it was one of the filthiest sequences I've ever seen. He's so smart on the mound.

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

I'm a Yankee fan. He's my favorite player currently. Recent quote I loved: "Underneath this body, there IS an athlete."

I absolutely hate the Yankees, born and raised in Massachusetts. This character makes me laugh though!

@@ninetysnano6071 I live in Massachusetts. But I grew up in NYC and lived in the Bronx for 10 years. So... Yankee fan. Looking forward to watching him pitch tonight.

Nasty Nestor is a stud, also he’s been getting that fastball velocity up I’m not sure what he’s averaging on the fastball this year but he’s been consistently hitting 94 as opposed to the 90 or 91 from last year

[@ca24denyt5]

Eh hes still around 91-92

[@keianroth2669]

@@ca24denyt5 eh I didn’t say that he’s averaging 94 just that he can hit it

[@Shingerrr]

@@keianroth2669 u literally said consistently 94. a few times out of hundreds isn’t consistent lmfao

[@keianroth2669]

@@Shingerrr I’ve seen him hit 94 multiple times every game he’s pitched this year, so that would mean he’s doing it with some consistency lmfao

[@derekwang7330]

Either way his average fastball velo is up

[@mikebraun9942]

As a yankee fan I’m so happy you did a video about our beloved mustachioed turtle tamer. Whenever it’s his spot in the rotation I make damn sure I have a tv close by because not only is he so fun to watch but we usually win when it’s his go too, not only does he shut down other teams but I swear our offense hits better for him.. I think he just makes the whole team n all the fans just happier and it makes us play more loose and have fun.

[@bmac4]

Cortes feels like a pretty cool pitcher who knows he's not a freak and succeeds via trickery and gimmicks, but trickery and gimmicks work. Like as a Giants fan I get to watch them send out Tyler Rogers in the 7th or 8th every other night to retire the side with his submarine delivery, which he himself says something like "It's a gimmick but it's what I got and it's what works". I feel kinda similar for Cortes, he's got his gimmicks but they work, hardly a freak but he finds ways to be effective by being outside the mould.

[@scottnotpilgrim]

Nasty Nestor! He has such a personality and the Yankees need that

[@micahlangford76]

Nester is a Genuis,My Guy Found himself as an All Star without overpowering anyone,It's a treat watching him

[@CaptainLog]

Not only did he pitch an inning in the All Star game, he got two strikeouts. The man, the myth, the mustache.

[@wapSski]

As a Yankees fans I must say I’ve always waited for the moment Cortez shined and this season he is, love his antics on the mound

[@tinyboi_]

Nestor is such a treat for us Yankee fans. We just love him 😍

[@CaptainLog]

These are the league leaders in strikeout rate as of this morning. Nestor is the absolute Man. 45% - Cortes, NYY 45% - Carlos Rodón, SF 44% - Shohei Ohtani, LAA

[@shyrickman3289]

I swear my three fav baseball channels have dropped videos in a 24-48 hour span lmao. It’s a good day

[@jameskreisler6083]

Nestor is actually the man, easily one of our most reliable arms and just so smart out there he will never beat himself.

[@mylesmac34]

you didn’t even mention the fact that he takes the subway to home games lol

[@EnriqueReyes]

The San Diego Padres have a crafty pitcher similar to Nestor Cortez without the funny leg kick deliveries. His name is Nabil Crismatt. He has pitched great.

[@nickA231]

I’m a Yankee fan and he has been my favorite pitcher for the past 2 years and my personal favorite Yankee out of the last few teams

[@sniperguyAZ]

>Never seen anything like this before Has everyone already forgotten about Johnny Cueto lol

[@HallucinatingHedgehogs]

I was looking for this comment. Put some respect on the boy

[@kaijubasementtonyc7331]

Love him. He signed a ball for me down in Detroit last week. Super stoked.

[@Sam_on_YouTube]

Nestor looks like my Uncle Jimmy and pitches like Satchel Paige.

[@billcosby668]

Nestor is my precious pitcher and he’s such a huge part in the 2022 Yankees. He’s unbelievable and so much fun to watch

[@joegti10]

Nasty Nestor is the kind of pitcher who will be in MLB until hes 47.

[@zayotru]

I'm just here to say that Adam Dunn deserves some spotlight on this channel. Crazy consistent power with oddly consistent numbers.

[@Blankford777]

“Mustachiod time-altering menace” was really great.

[@rashiroselin]

And if you wanna watch him from outside the New York area, he’s staring against the Royals on Friday Night Baseball on Apple TV+

[@DrAnarchy69]

Nestor Cortes Jr. is a great pitcher, very excited about his future for the Yankees.

Who's the mustache faced guy from Super Troopers? Because that's the vibe I get from him

Nestor is what baseball needs. Funny and good player.

[@lazycatchphrase8148]

As a newcomer to the channel, I’m loving the face reveal. Also, watching Nestor pump his right leg at Otani in that ab made me an instant fan. Also also, I’ve always “hated” the Yanks after hopping on the D-backs bandwagon back in 2001 ;)

[@baldsportsfan9368]

Mets fan here, gotta say Nestor is amazing to watch

[@PantsofVance]

I've always wondered why pitchers don't incorporate the variation of pitching windups, it really throws off a hitter's timing. Maybe because it's hard to be consistent with it?

[@theconservativechristian]

He has 25 strike outs in 15.2 innings this year with a 1.15 ERA! Unfortunately he doesn’t have any wins or losses yet but that’s not his fault need runs to win the game! Also he has only given up just 7 hits! Nestor is on start to a supremely good season!

[@snerdterguson]

Most of the no win thing is he's just had like 2 starts where he qualified for the W. And while he doesn't have a win, I'm pretty sure the team is unbeaten in his starts so far this season.

[@Itswebbgaming]

He’s a new era Johnny Cueto when to the gimmicks and tricky stuff

[@dvon1097]

[@coopersepulveda9872]

Damn yo back when I was younger I was Nestor before Nestor. I probably couldn't even throw 75mph but I threw from like 5 different arm slots and would change my motion several times an inning to mess with the batters heads and I was one of the top pitchers in the league cuz I threw so goofy. P.S. Im convinced Nestor is related to Luis J. Gomez

[@waxknucklebearingjuice5592]

glad your also not so stoked on universal DH. next step , catchers get a DH too... then short stop , then first base... then you've just got a team of monsters .... oh yeah , mlb wants 3 true outcome ball...laaaaame

[@snerdterguson]

Just had his worst start of the year, and it was 5 innings 1 earned run. Just gave up a lot of hits, 7, and only struck out 3. But man, if that's him when he's off...

He has a insane 1.43 era rn just nuts

[@jordangallin6434]

I really wish he was on literally any team that wasn’t the Yankees. Maybe not the Dodgers. Preferably an ALC team so I see him more often, and I’d love to have him as a Guardian.

[@someloser2847]

First timer to the channel. This video earned my sub.

[@ZazzleFraxx]

I'd love to see a how good was Roy Halladay. He was on notoriously bad Toronto teams but with a team that could score more than 3 runs his win record would have been even better.

[@a_grizzly55]

I think I speak for all of my fellow Yankees fans when I say Nasty Nestor is the true ace of our team

[@snerdterguson]

He's on his way, but I need to see him consistently going 6+ before I would call him an ace. As I recall, and I'm not considering the first couple starts (shortened spring training) he's only gone 6 1 time this season. If he keeps pitching like this and can string together a few games where he goes 6-7 innings, then I will join you in calling him our ace. What he DEFINITELY is, is the most entertaining to watch pitcher we've had on the team in a couple decades. At least going back to El Duque.

I think you mean the best pitcher in baseball. Yes he is the best. Also Cortes throws 91-94 and he tops at 95 now.

His average fastball velocity this year is 90.4. That is below his 2021 average velocity of 90.8.

@@Mayunholdup True, but he can still top at 94, when he previously couldn't come close.
