Yu Darvish Throws 11 Different Pitches

[@Sanjuro806]

Houston Astros cheated. Darvish was the biggest victim. Let’s remember that, shall we?

[@LC-ik3we]

I was so sad for him when it happened

[@JMH3106]

Great video man. I lucked up with the algorithm today

[@tristantruitt1592]

Darvish was immediately my favorite pitchers I’ve ever seen when I first saw him pitch with the rangers, the dude is AMAZING. I’m hoping the rangers can either get Yamamoto as he seems very similar. But I’ll also be okay if we land Ohtani ! 😂

[@mcnos3820]

Rather have Yamamoto

[@luismiguelmayo]

​@@mcnos3820Yossy will cost $200M by a contract. Don't compare.

[@shaindaman13]

Of all current MLB Pitchers active, even though the numbers don’t show it, I feel like Darvish is the most talented. I was so happy to see him come over to my Cubbies and hated seeing him go.

[@romiarkan450]

It sounds quite neat when you have more than five pitches in your repertoire. You can kind of "pick your loadout" for the day and then depending on the opposing hitters you can add or subtract. Say you've been throwing fastballs, changeups, and sliders then after four innings you replace the changeup with the splitter since they've been making contact with it and add the curveball to tunnel with the slider.

[@Nick-lv8pn]

imagine being this guys catcher, bro gotta use his third hand to give him some signs

[@jrod100]

The great Juan Marichal Threw 15 different pitches. 5 over arm 5 sidearm and 5 under arm. This was stated by the late great Frank Robinson and several other hitters of the era.

[@arkay9789]

Sounds like counting every pitch three times over

[@jrod100]

Got that information from several interviews that I watched in the past including Frank Robinson, Hank Aaron, Pete Tose and a few others

[@MyLife-og2kr]

Cool info. But if you're trying to compare it to Darvish's skills, then not cool.

[@DP1AN]

somehow a 39 sub channel made the vid I always wanted to watch

[@dafttassia1960]

12:17 what's the conclusion from all this? It doesn't matrer how many pitches you have when your opponent is stealing signs

[@toxdazcubing]

how do you only have 35 subs? so underrated

[@chrislane1817]

Great video - I learnt a lot about Yu! What a pitcher! Subscribed too ❤

[@johnpablorojas4393]

god he is gonna be such an incredible coach one day

[@nomercyinc6783]

just because you played doesnt dicate youd be a good coach. i doubt darvish who barely speaks english would become a coach. american teams dont need foreign coaches

[@chihayaayase1299]

​@@nomercyinc6783 your sentence exposes your lack of research and narrow-mindedness

[@natemorris1399]

Slow leg wind up, more mechanical looking for any breaking ball, and faster leg wind up and delivery on fast ball, he’s nice with it tho

[@Shadow-yq8wg]

Bro I thought u were a big channel how in the world u only got 130 subs

[@reesedelr]

the last pitch is a splinker right?

[@luismiguelmayo]

Please get revived in next season, Yu. And see Yu at next WBC in 2026!

[@PrimarySweeper13]

Satchel Paige had like 18 pitches Bob Gibson had 12

[@swagmuffin9000]

Wait, the knuckle curve is way easier for me to throw than a regular

[@lxnavs]

5:25 I also throw that pitch lol

[@vanilla_kush]

good video from Japan🤙

[@nomercyinc6783]

hes had that many pitches since he was a dodger

[@ariberkowitz6886]

The amount of research you put in to this video is awesome and I commend you for that. But you have a lot to learn when it comes to pitching. Pitch categorization is different than grip manipulation. I'd be thrilled to help you understand these differences and intricacies if you're interested in learning. For example there's no difference between a sinker and a 2 seam fastball, by definition all sinkers are 2seamers

[@lukestutesman5609]

You’re a dawg I was diggin this video but as a pitcher myself I was a little confused by the hard cutter soft cutter slider combo I think it might be more gyro angle he’s looking for in creating literally every tunnel possible

[@poindextertunes]

there is absolutely a difference between two-seamers and sinkers. not sure where you heard that. they dont even have the same tail. sinkers break way early

[@ariberkowitz6886]

i didn't hear it from anyone. It's just a fact. A 2-seam fastball has only to do with grip, a sinker is just an adjective for how the pitch moves. All sinkers are 2-seamers, but not all 2-seamers are sinkers. Grip wise there is no difference, movement wise there can be. But pitches are categorized by grip, not by movement. There are a number of grips for a changeup, yet they are somehow all called changeups. Anyway, next time you want to doubt me, don't. @@poindextertunes

[@ariberkowitz6886]

Exactly, it's all about tunneling and pitch shaping. @@lukestutesman5609

[@isaacainslie2638]

show schwarber's home run vs darvish

[@evaneropkin]

I forgot he played in LA

[@matthewwilkinson2784]

Satchel Paige

[@CONNORGoofySTEVENSON]

I know you mentioned that the knuckle curve is hard to learn but I remember trying to figure out a curveball and I found the knuckle curve and it only took me a day or two to actually figure it out. To be fair though I was 12 at the time, shit was nasty af if I threw it right

[@nohacksjustchase879]

average dbats machine pitch arsenal

[@l.rongardner2150]

Not surprising at all. When he was young, he worked at a 7-11.

[@texanfournow]

As a Rangers fan, I was in awe of Darvish during his tenure in Texas. And 11 pitches is indeed impressive. But oh the numbers. His salary has averaged $15,000,000/year while he averages less than 10 wins/year. Not so great. His post-season record is 4-6, including two losses in his only WS. Not so hot. Nor was his 2023 ERA of 4.46 and 8 wins. BTW, he lost his last 3 starts in 2023, getting hammered for 13 runs in 16 innings. So the assortment of pitches is interesting, but it doesn't count for much if he can't produce wins commensurate with his salary, or win in the post-season. I will take Eovaldi any day, He went 5-0 in the 2023 playoffs. He racked up more playoff wins in one post-season that Yu has won in 11 years. When heat is on, Nate gets the job done.

[@MP5..]

And Kyle schwarber can hit 10 of the pitches 425 ft

[@Buns4]

Too bad your quantity doesn’t translate to QUALITY, all those pitches but where’s all those wins taking u ?? No where
