Part 2 of the interview is here: • Yu Darvish & PitchingN...
He’s a very smart pitcher. Crazy how Yu can throw the ball
Losing him was the literal turning point of the Rangers. We've been laughable since.
@@stevenhetzel6483what about now lmao 🤣
@@ethank-l4930lol Rangers have won a ws before the Padres 😂

Thank you for leaving his Japanese speaking part
It was enjoyable since I’m a Japanese and English is my 2nd language
A lot of time Japanese speaking part would be trimmed on this kind of interviews
Though your English was easier to understand even for me
It's cool that he understands English perfectly, and the English that he does speak is still really good.
The craziest part is that he has enough confidence in all of them to throw them in game.
Darvish is one of those pitchers that makes me feel sympathetic toward hitters...
My favorite pitcher of all time. Wish he was still here with Texas.
This is an amazing conversation. Such a great resource for developing pitchers. His mindset of being a continual learner is the most important lesson of all.
15:30 thats why pitching is such an art... thanks so much for the video
Eijun is basically Yu Darvish, don't you think?
What an amazing video, thank you very much for bringing Darvish into the show!
Yu Darvish is a gift from the baseball gods. Amazing pitcher and amazing human being. Bet he can win the Cy Young this year.
Didn’t age well but It’s something for the future!
@@cantripleplays what happen a few loses ?
he's like a character from a baseball anime. just trying new pitches in the middle of a game. so cool. hope he continues his success this year.
Sawamura Eijun 👀
@@namrin9006 I mean Sawamura's new pitch is the supreme
He's real life Sawamura Eijun
@@putraditya1931 Nah Eijuns an amalgam he doesn't throw harder enough or any breaking balls yet to be yu though he might be goin forward. If you want direct comparison in ace of diamond its Houngou=Tanaka, Amahisa= Maeda, and Mei=Yuki Saito.
@@ussbridgefour4666 well rumour said that Sawamura will throw breaking balls soon. I said that Sawamura = Yu coz both of them can find new pitches just changing the grip. Plus i think another comparison is Furuya = Ohtani
i love these videos man. As a baseball coach who has a 9 year old just starting to pitch, this is some knowledge thats going to last a lifetime and hopefully my kid can teach his kids this stuff.
YAS DOOD. You're killing it! Great get and so awesome of Yu to do this. Thanks esp for getting us a look at his eephus, that's insane. I also loved the look on yr face when he unlocked that cutter. Such good content and from arguably the best pitcher going today. I hope the Padres know what they're getting in him, both on the field and off (from a totally biased Cubs fan). Take care of my boy, SD. And thx again, Ninja
I'll miss him in Chicago, but I hope he has another monster season in san diego.
God I love watching Yu pitch. This is gold Rob, thanks.
You two (PN and YD) are really delightful in this enjoyable video!
San Diego loves Yu! Let's have some fun, boys!
D3 pitcher here, this is crazy. I already have a bunch of rotation on my 4seam but with this new idea of his cutter, it could add so much variability. Thank you so much.
first of all, amazing interview...Yu has always seemed like such a nice, interesting person. second, love the live footage especially Smoltzy correcting himself on the splitter / slider strike out. Thank you Ninja!!
also, I love when non-english speakers can understand a sentence then respond in their own language.
Miss you Yu. Thanks for coming to the Cubs. Really love to watch you pitch
as always, great video! thank you 4 ur work Rob!
Wait... how does channel only have 16K subs? Is this guy famous or how does he get great pitchers to show up on this channel?
Channel is underrated. 👏
I thought I couldn't be any more hype for San Diego Opening Day but I was wrong. This is great, it gives me a lot to look for during Daru-san's starts. That two seamer moves like a lefty slider!
Thank you for growing the game Rob
Fantastic vid! Interesting way to think about the hand and the cutter at the end!
I know...I had never thought about that, and I teach a cutter all the time.
Darvish is one of my favorite pitchers in the game. His knowledge and dedication to the art is so deep. He'll make a great pitching coach one day if he wants to
Remains my favorite mlb pitcher. More personality in one finger than a bullpen of peers. Recall early AS game appearance where his Rangers teammate mocked as his translator, saying ‘he glad to be here to show off his beautiful hair..’ with Darvish smiling and nodding in agreement next to him. That’s a ball player.
Man how dont you have more views. Your content is awesomw
Deserved to win CY Young, hopefully this season
If he doesn’t then this world deserves the infinite tsukuyomi.
@@namrin9006 that makes no sense
Sadly not, DeGrom is too good.
DeGrom...
*DeGrom has entered the chat*
For the life of me, I can't believe that it is now that I am discovering pitching ninja. This is incredible. As a kid I used to eat up those baseball instructional VHS videos. This is absolutely fantastic.
Ninja hat, ninja shirt, fascinating just talking about his fastball in the first 60 seconds. Yu is the man. Stand up guy and a student of the game.
Why does this vid not have 1M views
Super interesting!
Thanks Yu and Thanks PitchingNinja!
So cool video. Rooting for Darvish
Having Yu explain how he manipulates the ball is like having Wayne Gretzky explain how he sees the ice, Kelly Slater explaining how he feels the waves, or Carole King thinks up a song!
Totally agree
or how Houston Astros relay the signals to batters
That cutter explanation is golden. Let’s go Yu!!
The content on your channel is insane.
the cutter explanation was an amazing example of yu’s understanding of pitching, master of his craft
Rangers fan, but I always watch Darvish starts. He makes every game fun to watch. Can't believe we let him go.
as a cubs fan i feel your pain :(
This was an amazing video. I did not know he threw 11 pitches. And he can throw all of them with consistency.
Always root for a guy that loves the game as much as Yu does. A true scientist
yu doesn't need a translator, he can perfectly describe the technical aspects of his craft perfectly
Love this guy, Yu FTW.
My fave pitcher right now
Honestly Yu is the most intimidating pitcher in the league to me. His wind up and delivery with the pitch mix makes me uncomfortable just thinking about it
Might be the best all time at putting a hitter off balance. Crazy that he can do all that and be accurate.
Great stuff! I just know you start uploading in youtube. Gonna check other videos.
how does this channel only have 13k
He started off very popular on twitter and he just recently started pumping out a lot of CZcams videos
@@matthewbreier861 Yep. And I'm gonna keep on putting out stuff here! [It's fun]
@@PitchingNinjaVideos thanks for the reply I’m hoping to try and get the white camo hat tomorrow🤞 keep grinding
It’s now 16K after Yu Darvish
Is this host famous or something? Definitely under appreciated channel! Great stuff!!
I find that baseball isn't very popular, people don't really like watching. Idk y. I just started watching last year and it's been really hard for me to find content on CZcams.
GREAT interview
Thank you!
Yu is an example of elite pitcher mastering his craft, and there aren't many pitchers like him. Average starter has about 4 or 5 pitches in his repertoire. Yu has ELEVEN! I hope he can stay healthy and reach 300K+ in a single season.
Rob: pick a pitch, i'll follow with you
also Rob: show me the splitter
love the video, keep up the great work
He is a good reference. I was told we should master only 4 or 5 pitches, it would be enough.
How amazing Darvish is! 😲
11 OMG!! The 🐐 Goat. His English is great also👍
From NHK world sport tonight. Super interesting.
I've never been able to throw a good cutter, either it's straight or I can't control it. Never thought about it the way he explained it. I might try it
It's crazy to think that he knows all those pitches, AND can throw them well
Would love to see Framber Valdez or Seth Lugo’s curveball!
this man throws 11 pitches, and each of them also have variations of their own
Texas misses you Darvish!
Love how multiple times he tells Darvish to pick a pitch and then immediately picks one for him
Crazy repertoire
I think it’s safe to say Yu can make a baseball move any way he wants
Love that he's a Padre
Brilliant pitching mind
who's here to rewatch this after Yu Darvish having another great start?
more pls.
No wonder he had his own personal catcher come over to San Diego with him.
This is awsome could you get Gerrit Cole on here too?
ダルビッシュ選手はフレンドリーだから、メジャーリーグファンからも愛されてるなって感じます。
i love this goob job
////
3:10 He is so geniune lol Really counted it all
This shit is amazing
Is the translator same guy as who used to work for Masahiro Tanaka last year? His voice and way to translate look similar, probably.
Dear Friedman, this is awesome. I'm a CZcamsr from Taiwan. Can I translate this video? I will upload this video to my channel with subtitles but will not turn on the profit function. And I promise to recommend your channel. Please.
Slider: 7:25, 16:05
Cutter: 14:50
Still can't believe the Cubs let Yu go.
I wonder how someone like him would use the Pitching Comcast device they’re starting to use in the MLB if he has more in his arsenal than the device could hold😂 or perhaps he’ll just stick to the old ways. Even then, how would the catcher and him communicate such a wide array of pitches ?
Can't forget that voice
I'm surprised he's giving all his secrets! What will the batters be able to do with this info? Who is the one guy who gave this video a thumbs down!?!?! I wonder what his thoughts are in retrospect with the Astros and 2017 World Series. Its scary that he thinks he's getting better and still understanding and developing his knowledge of the craft.
No problem! He also didn’t keep his pitching secrets and grips when he was playing in NPB. But he was dominant.
I think he never worried batter knew what kind of pitches he's throwing.
On contrary, I think it'll put a fear to the batters whole league even.
Guys has 11 pitches for god sakes. And he has confidence to throw them all in a game too. It's like "pick your poisons" situation.
Anyone else just waiting for a Jacob DeGrom pitch grip video?
The real question is, how does his catcher relay signals for pitches with only 5 fingers. And that many pitches?
Could be something as simple as catcher calls for 4 seam, down and in and he lets Darvish decide which one he is throwing. Or it could also be 1 finger is fastball, but not the catcher touches his knee twice for the hard cutter or soft cutter or whatever
The catcher could either use a sequence or a combination of fingers. Bauer had the same problem a while back and the catcher would put down index and thumb making an L for cutter
he change his arm swing for his mechanics , you should ask him , about this
Modern Greg Maddux
I’m a cubs fan and I just had the realization that maybe just maybe we traded yu to avoid paying his interpreter.
There are few baseball players today who seem to be as likable as Yu Darvish! San Diego's got themselves a winner
Wrong!, all the LA Dodger Fans hate him and blames him for not getting the World Series
@@The_SCC Luckily I'm not a Dodger fan lol
this man really invented a pitch because he was bored during lockdown
I didn't know Yu's english pronunciation is that good.
I thought so too
3:09
Pitching Ninja: "How many pitches do you throw right now?"
Yu: *reciting pitches* "...Lemon?"
Shoutout Yu’s translator
Shingo is a great dude.
Is that du yarvish showing pitch grips ?
Yu Darvishes translator sound like Bruce banner from Avengers lol
19:34 Doesn't it cause premature pronation?
He patched 89mph fastball or knuckleball when he was 15
Hope yu can have another breakout season
I wished he would’ve stayed in LA
ダルビッシュが普通に英語話してるところ、初めて見た
普通に全部英語で聞きたかったけど、専門用語は流石にダルさんでも難しいのかな？
質問はちゃんと理解できてますし、そうしたいと思えば全て英語で答えれると思いますが細かいことは少し伝わりにくい感じですね。なので、必要な時はネイティブレベルの通訳の方に頼れるのはいいことだと思います。
阪神のチェンもそうやな
日本語普通にしゃべれるけど、インタビューは通訳ついてる
ナックルスライダー！？
a pitcher with 5 pitches gets to have an "arsenal"...he's got 11 LOL
俺も英語できるようになろ
It's sad that Darvish's career was damaged a little by the Astros cheating. Pitch-catcher should develop new ways to signal the pitch, especially for Darvish with so many different pitches. First and third base coaches can signal batter and runner in the open without tipping off the opposing team.
One possible way is to remember a number sequence like a date 12-25 (Christmas). For each pitch, many signs are sent but only 1 is real. In this example, first pitch the first sign is real, 2nd pitch the 2nd sign is real, 3rd pitch 2nd sign is real, 4th pitch 5th sign is real (1-2-2-5) then repeat 1-2-2-5. A new sequence can be used for every batter making it difficult for the opposing team to decode even with electronics.
Another way to use the number sequence is to number the pitch type and add. For example, 1=fast ball, 2=splitter, 3=change up. For the number sequence 1225, first pitch you add 1 so if fast ball (1) is signed, add 1 then become splitter (2). The 2nd pitch is 2 so add 2 to the signed pitch, 3rd pitch add 2, 4th pitch add 5, and repeat. If the sum goes above 3 or whatever is the highest pitch number, roll around to pitch 1.
I thought Darvish didn’t speak english?
he can something is up
Just nasty!
英語喋れないのかダルビッシュ
That slider grip is just off the table filth 🤢
