This Is The Weirdest Pitching Delivery Going Right Now

[@atomicgiraffe250]

Going from the White Sox to the World Series is wild

[@Wolf-wc1js]

You can technically also apply that to Michael Kopech

[@sandygarcia3567]

not only the white sox but the 2024 white sox the historically worst team in baseball

[@mlbwhitesox1320]

Exactly

[@twodumbcats390]

What an unlucky guys who went from the World Series to the White Sox lol

[@MythicWiz]

@@sandygarcia3567 not really, they went 41-121 while 1962 mets went 40-120 which is worse

[@violetnevermore5457]

Tim Hill has been unironically one of the Yankees best relief pitchers the last 2 months

[@opiniononion]

I remember first seeing this delivery from a pitcher in Japan and thought that was some voodoo magic

[@painperdu13]

Tim Hill is my favorite pitcher to use in MLB the show, so as a Yankees fan I was pretty excited to see him pitch for them.

[@PrimarySweeper13]

Padres legend Tim Hill

[@andrewyarosh1809]

Here is nothing “bizarre”a bout Tim Hill’s motion. He is a classic side-armer. Sidearm motions have been a normal part of baseball for more than 100 years, before the foolish drive for velocity and conformity took over and made baseball boring. Kent Tekulve, Jim Bunning, Walter Johnson, Satchel Paige, Don Drysdale, Ewel Blackwell, Kent Tekulve. The list goes on.

[@Engine33Truck]

Very true. But in the day of velocity and conformity, sidearm pitchers - or generally pitchers who focus on control and technique - are becoming a rarity. But a very welcome sight.

[@javi994]

@@Engine33Truck Lefty sidearmers in particular are extremely rare

[@therascals8237]

His delivery kinda looks like Randy Johnson

[@mt.bakerview]

Jesse Chavez couldn’t even make the roster for Chicago White Sox but was able to make it in Atlanta Braves 😊

[@AtomicRaven-zx2oj]

Glad I wasn't the only one, I love that old school type pitch of his

[@flumffdragon]

I hope he gets a good card in MLB The Show, i loved using his card in last years game since he was just the funky lefty who was fun to use

[@ozzyj01]

He’s a 55 overall, he deserves to at least be a bronze😭

[@flumffdragon]

@@ozzyj01 Ong bro, free my bro, make him a bronze plz 😭

[@chacmool2581]

I saw Tekulve, Quisenberry, and Eckersley pitch. This guy's normal.

[@Rusty-o1i]

Tim ROCKS!!! He'll help us in a big way to put rings on the New York Yankees fingers!!! Go get you some Tim!!!! GO YANKEES!!!

[@Engine33Truck]

I really hope he gets a good contract with the Bombers and stays with us a few years

[@ohiogyatrizzkaicenat]

my favorite player for life. been following him since his rookie season on kansas city

[@Johnfisher12345]

You mean delivery, not windup

[@madethecut]

That's a good suggestion, thanks! Changed the title accordingly.

[@Johnfisher12345]

👍

[@k29king1]

Technically its his arm slot. His delivery remains consistent with other side throwing pitchers, however what makes Hill unique is the arm slot he throws from. It has been near unbeatable with the Yankees. I saw him pitch live a few times this season at Yankee stadium and was glad they picked him up.

[@Johnfisher12345]

Arm slot is part of delivery my dude.

[@alexisrivera1650]

Terry Leach looking up he had the same wind up Pitch

[@Minkkyo]

His name is not Tim Hill...It's HIM TILL

[@JoeCasey-y5u]

There used to be a picher named Kent Tekulve, who pitched for the Pittsburgh pirates back in the late 70s and then Dan Quisenberry, who pitched for Kansas City Royals in the 80s, who pitched like Jim Hill

[@Engine33Truck]

I like Tim Hill a lot. He has turned out to be an excellent reliever for the Yankees. Plus I love sidearm lefties

[@GCLU]

Matt Blake masterclass

[@TheSolidSnakeOil]

I'm more intrigued by his strikeout hop than the windup or delivery.

[@randomcommenterheredontmin4390]

If y'all like this style of delivery look at Tyler Rogers or Adam Cimber. They are literally throwing from less than 3 feet off the mound it's actually amazing

[@Devon10_10]

Imagine Tim Hill and Tyler Rogers on the same team…

[@rodolfotayag1337]

These pitches were practice way back years ago.. its just now...

[@BaseballLegionUnite]

W video, keep it up

[@aljon5947]

Billy, this is Chad Bradford. He's a relief pitcher. He's one of the most undervalued players in baseball. His defect is that he throws funny.

[@shmavster4209]

this dude would’ve fit into 70s baseball like a glove

[@Zahrul3]

91-93mph from a submarine slot is insane.

[@gopre518]

This delivery is ideal if it works for them... Often i would mix up angle of deliveries, a two seam fb delivered somewhere between side arm and 3/4 doubled as a screwball, a slider/change up can act as an ephus, and a curveball at sidearm was just like a tailing sinker aka death pitch ti each their own lets go yankees lets go

[@ozzyj01]

Wouldn’t that make you tip your pitches

[@gopre518]

​​@@ozzyj01yea for sure but my wind up was a mix of satchel paige and orlando hernandez so lots of distraction like I said to each their own lol

[@mrlafayette1964]

He definitely needs more pitches, he throws fastball after fastball. Anybody can hit what they know is coming.

[@bobholly3843]

I don't know why the Yankees didn't use him more. Every time he was up, he gave the Dodgers problems. His weird delivery I think also throws batters off.

[@eytonshalomsandiego]

was it Carl Hubble or Walter Johnson that had that delivery some very great PITCHER of the olden days

[@curbside_prophet6457]

That’s the Matt Blake effect

[@jjflo5147]

Yessir Tim Jim

[@nymets1104]

Tim Hill looks like my high school math teacher

[@VoiceOfA100Colors]

0:58 Did I just see Tim field a chopper back to the mound and then throw it side arm/submarine over to the first baseman ? Maybe the camera quality fooled me because almost no sidearm pitchers I can think of field and throw to first like that because "confusing opposing hitters GOOD.. confusing your first baseman BAD... in fact VERY BAD if pitching in a world series. I pray as a Yankees fan I didn't just jinx the guy but unless he has some yips like issues which make throwing it to first that way for him " the lesser of two evils" so to speak it seems like a future disaster from him doing that is inevitable

[@Engine33Truck]

No, Hill tried to field but it went over his head, Gleyber Torres fielded from the gap

[@eytonshalomsandiego]

what is the Carl Hubble or Walter Johnson that had that delivery some very great PITCHER of the olden days

[@JayGeezus]

Him & Kopech left the white sox, instantly became good and are competing for a championship. Going from the outhouse to the penthouse.

[@mrlafayette1964]

He needs another pitch besides his fastball, they totally sit on it that's why he gets hit sometimes. Needs a good changeup at least.

[@Supreme896]

Always one of these guys in every bullpen who wins a championship

[@christopher19894]

Kinda reminds me of Chris Sale, but obviously way more dramatic of a delivery.

[@Johnny.1965]

Kent teculve pitched sidearm decades before this guy.

[@hiramnoone]

Delivery not windup.

[@azathoth0820]

Yankees had a reliever Mike Myers who had an even weirder delivery than this guy, also left handed. Look it up.

[@Wolfeson28]

Kind of a lefty Tyler Rogers.

[@michaelanthony4750]

Our (White Sox) coaching is so bad Eloy, Moncada, and La Pantera are probably All Stars and no one would ever know.

[@rp3569]

Yankees were so desperate to win, they sign a reliever who was cut by the literal worst team in baseball

[@Ty420]

Is been pretty good though!

[@LinkGT835]

He’s actually really good thought

[@RIP_Greedo]

Hill has been very good with the Yankees. The org has as knack for unlocking value in bargain bin relievers. Weaver was a washout starter for years before.

[@madethecut]

I think they saw the potential.

[@Steven-yn1vt]

​@@RIP_Greedo Exactly

[@rodolfotayag1337]

That kind of pitch is delivered way back then so many years ago. Seems like the uploader has just seen this kind of pitch lately or it is click bait..

[@frenngarod5820]

EL JUGO PARA LOS PADRES EN LA TEMPORADA ANTERIOR NO PARA LOS WHITE SOX

[@gm2723]

So what did we learn? The white socks are a disaster of an organization, and the Yankees have a very good pitching coach. So nothing we learned nothing

[@quiteright623]

Tim Hill should have faced Freeman instead of Cortez who hadn't pitched in a month .. Bonehead Baboone strikes again !!

[@thebambino4728]

Yeah and OTS THE REASON HES PITCHING GREAT !!
