That's a popular way in America to describe the absolute best and almost unimaginable talents. "Nasty" curveball. "Filthy" changeup. "Sick" fastball. All of those pitches were absolutely disgusting. Bravo OP
@@egcgc7125 Trust me. Nasty for a Major League Pitcher is a compliment. Watch these pitches and pay close attention as to how silly they make hitters look.
Man that was Gorman Thomas my favorite Brewer. I always thought those early 80s Brewer dudes looked like a softball team. Nope dude obviously would not be a good softballer
1:27, an ephus that looks almost cartoonish. As for a lot of those hooks, sliders, and curveballs, gotta admire a pitch that makes the batter look like he is swinging from the wrong zip code.
zack greinke is probably one of my favorite pitchers, because he's one of the few pitchers that used that pitch in the modern era, i believe he had a competition with another pitcher to see who could throw the slowest ball across the plate, i think his lowest ever was 51mph, he also would get bored during games, and tip batters off to his own pitches. he also hit a home run with his eyes closed to prove to his manager that hitting was really easy, and they should let him be a designated hitter. greinke was really a once in a generation talent, unfortunately many people seem to forget about him, i'm sure he doesn't mind that too much though.
roy seibel No, that would be Football⚽ (or may be even Rugby🏉) where pitch is the entire field. In Cricket, pitch is just the playing strip (although probably the mostly important part of the Cricket field).
Part of what makes baseball so interesting. I feel that a lot of people don't understand the strategy that goes into pitch selection and type. If people understood more about what makes baseball complex they would probably enjoy it like they do football but on the outside, baseball looks so simple when it's really not.
When you see a MLB batter smile after a nasty pitch you know it deserves a spot on any list. Goes to show how much a batter truly respects these top level pitchers
I remember Barry Zito early in his A’s career had one hell of a curveball that would start almost behind the head of a lefty hitter and end up at the foot of the opposite batter’s box. There was also The Big Unit’s slider and Pedro’s changeup that made hitters look downright silly at times. 🤔
@@jacfalle27 just saying. Can you say-Domination! Lol. Yeah that rotation (then sub in Avery or Millwood as the 4th) was just awesome. Even in the series, which they seem to lose EVERY year lol, but it was more than not because no run support or on one/two freak bang-bang plays. But damn those guys were good.
@@jacfalle27 imagine if Oakland (and the players of today in general) actually wanted to win like the guys from seasons past. Oakland could have secured Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder, ,and Barry Zito for a decade. They maybe would have been able to add to the championship trophy case 🤷 ah well what if , what if what if lol
4:31 Good Luck hitting that. The ball is literally all over the place coming in. Even the catcher couldn’t reel it in. One of the best Knuckleball’s ever thrown.
Guys, HERE is Our Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
I was 15 years old playing Babe Ruth baseball and was in the playoffs. I hadn't struck out all year, and the whole league knew it. An epheous pitch ended my streak. We still won, but damn was i pissed.
RIP Tim Wakefield. I met a friend of his outside a funeral and he ended up meeting me family and giving us tickets to Fenway where I got to meet a few of the players and wear his ring. He was an unbelievable kind man, and so were those he spent time around. I am sure he is resting easy.
The chuckle from the announcers says it all. Priceless. Love it. Seeing Chapman in person throwing 105 for The Reds was Priceless and seeing him throw every pitch above 100 for an entire save outing multiple times was priceless. Those were Great years with Dusty on the bench HC, Votto MVP slugging and The Cuban Missile Crisis closing out the games. Fun fun string of 5years there.
The downward slider used to just be called a sinker. I liked how the names they gave pitches told you either what it was supposed to do, or how they hold it. Now it's like every pitch is named a change up, a curve, a slider, a fastball, or a knuckle ball. There's a bunch of different types of change ups - the palm ball, circle change, fork ball, etc... I just liked it when they gave us those neat little details.
Yea bet you would think that Kershaw would have been the first pitcher to come to his minde wen he was maken this video. If i made a video like this Kersh would have been tbe first pitcher featerd.
3:06 how in the HELL did that ball change direction at the last second. It literally was going straight until the last moment then "NOPE" I'm going left.
The key is to get a ball that has been hit really hard foul. The kids bring it back. If u feel any imperfections in the ball , like a flat spot. The knuckle ball is ON. And if the threads are at all frayed, the curve ball is ON
@@allthingscroatia no man, I'm watching the ball it is dead center of the screen and then it LITERALLY takes a hard left tun. That is the sickest pitch I have ever seen.
Vegas Proud Boy Watch it in .25 speed. It drops a lot more than it moves to the left. Definitely doesn’t take a hard left turn. The catchers glove gives it that appearance tho
@@Ragnar_Helsson Still has nothing on Mariano Rivera's cut fastball. If you remember or heard of Mike Scott of the Houston Astros, he threw the sickest forkball ever. The drop on that ball was jaw dropping.
Great video. Love how you give the knuckleball the credit it deserves... one critique though, I think those two pitch's from Wakefield were also knuckleballs. He had one of the nastiest in the game. Love your videos!
HERE is Our Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
Yes. Wakefield threw basically 3 pitches. 95% were knuckleballs (maybe 99%) he also threw a slow fastball, and a change-up, to keep guys honest. I'm sure someone can find a clip in some game of him throwing breaking balls, but almost everything he threw was a kunckler. And he was one of the best ever at it.
Who's the crowd chanting Wilson for at around 1:15 ? Their chanting along to the song Wilson as if it's a Phish show. It's pretty cool to see it used in other places like that. I'm assuming it's for a player named Wilson?
Great vid! You got a lot a nasty pitches on there but if next time you just put the names of the pitcher while the video is playing instead of having individual titles, the video would flow better. Please don't be discouraged by this tip because I know it takes a long time for you to get all the clips together for all the videos. All in all, Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see what you do next!
The way you grip the ball, the way your arm whips forward, and the way you release the ball can all cause the ball to spin in very particular ways. Pitchers figure out how to do two to four kinds of pitches and the pros get really, *really* good at it. That pitch is somewhere in between a curve and a slider, though more on the slider side than the curve side.
0:29 -- My favorite, and really respect the professionalism of the pitcher (Yoervis Medina), when he could've let his ego show itself. All class leaving the mound.
100% agree. I watched that entire game live on tv. Never seen such nastiness by any pitcher, ever. He was in a league of his own that day. He made the Astros' killer B's look like little leaguers. Best pitching performance I have ever seen, by far.
@@ThatMeansHesMad The metrics agree with you. According to Bill James' 'gamescore' stat, it has the highest score of any game ever pitched. Twenty strikeouts while allowing only 1 hit and 0 walks against a very good Astros lineup for a game score of 105. I think only Scherzer's 104 in his 2015 no-hitter against the Mets is close.
Been watching baseball anime and reading baseball manga, One Outs, Diamond No Ace, Major, and the latest baseball manga forgot the name but man witnessing this pitches and those ball movements makes me want to watch MLB used to watched NBA and it's been 4 years since i stopped watching and caring whose going to win the finals was just busy and the fire or my passion for basketball died but after i saw this pitches it lit! Gotta keep it alive this time and this time it's in baseball thanks! For this
@@johncollins7423 Arch is completely legal in MLB. The reason most MLBers avoid using Lalob is simply- you miss and you'll never see that ball again. LaRoche was a master at mixing it up.

Colin McMasters id like to agree with the guy who corrected you, and also add that there are tons of “technical pitchers” that can also throw heat. They are alive and well
They weren't bad...I used to throw a knuckleball as one of my off speed pitches from Little League all the way through high school...luckily my catcher was my little brother (a year behind me). Mine would dance even more than Charlie Hough's and Tim Wakefield's knucklers....(I grew up in the 80s & 90s)
@@aaronsanborn4291 Me too, grad'd high school in '85. I miss playing ball. On few occasions, getting our butts' kicked, I'd get to pitch so as to save our pitchers arms. I had so much fun. I could throw right down the middle every time pretty much from years of accurate throws back to the pitcher. I didn't have any junk though.
When Kerry Wood(former Chicago Cub)struck out 20,some of his pitches seemed to dance from one side to the other,or drop from top to bottom(I was hoping to see a couple of those)
The 2 Wakefield pitches were also knucleballs. Would like to see, in case you do another one, Rick Mahler, Atlanta, threw a head high drop ball which dropped into the zone at the last minute.
i had a large sweeping curveball in highschool. i threw left handed and facing lefties at the plate was a lot of fun. the ball would start out right at them, then slowly curve over the plate. now i batted left oo, and i would fall for it almost every time
How do you forgot the nastiest pitch of all time? Mariano's cutter.....not only did it dominate lefties and righties but it broke like a thousand bats in the process. 😳
Michael Meloche I learned how to throw a 12-6 when I pitched in summer leagues in '01 and '02 when he was filthy. Greatest curveball I've ever seen in my 27 years of existence. And then he went to the Giants and suuuucked.
The Orioles had a closer years ago named Gregg Olson who had the filthiest curveball ever. It was his out pitch. Hitters knew it was coming and they still couldn't hit it.

They weren't bad...I used to throw a knuckleball as one of my off speed pitches from Little League all the way through high school...luckily my catcher was my little brother (a year behind me). Mine would dance even more than Charlie Hough's and Tim Wakefield's knucklers....(I grew up in the 80s & 90s)
@@aaronsanborn4291 Me too, grad'd high school in '85. I miss playing ball. On few occasions, getting our butts' kicked, I'd get to pitch so as to save our pitchers arms. I had so much fun. I could throw right down the middle every time pretty much from years of accurate throws back to the pitcher. I didn't have any junk though.
Wow one of the boys from the Braves pitching staff from the 90’s that loved to live on the outside of the plate in Greg Maddux.
When Kerry Wood(former Chicago Cub)struck out 20,some of his pitches seemed to dance from one side to the other,or drop from top to bottom(I was hoping to see a couple of those)
Even the catcher was a bit fooled by chapman's nasty slider. Damn lol
It’s Bc he threw a different pitch than what he was supposed to throw
The 2 Wakefield pitches were also knucleballs. Would like to see, in case you do another one, Rick Mahler, Atlanta, threw a head high drop ball which dropped into the zone at the last minute.
You need some Kerry Wood and Josh Beckett from their prime!!!!
Oh, and Mariano and his cutter!
Kershaw's breaking ball deserves to be on here.
12-6 curveball
@@kpchessman Either one is nasty, have you seen that slider breaking from the outside of the plate to a rightys ankles.
@@anthonyperez3414 Yes I have. I knew he was Cy Young material when he came up as a rookie.
Same with Jose Berrios, either him or Julio Urias for best curveball in MLB
That thing would freeze a snowman
1:35 DAMN! And I don't even watch baseball that was crazy
I don't watch baseball or golf I play them. Not spectator sports. Boring as hell unless u are there
Russ Martin yes... exactly why you clicked on this video then.
@@breadofspeed something interesting happens sometimes. I just don't like to be not in the action
Why the hell would anyone swing on that? Is that kind of pitch even legal?
Only 1 pitch by Maddux? That guy could fill an entire video all by himself
You missed the Fernando Valenzuela screwball
yep
Much respect for the catchers!!
Chapman is the beast 💪
The Koufax curveball is the filthiest pitch in baseball history.
4:31 Never seen something like that.
yeah what is that, a reverse curveball.
@@simonsays6307 No idea.
@@simonsays6307 The gripping makes it look like a knuckle ball. Not sure though.
@@jorgeponce5512 maybe the ball was scuffed, or got a cut on it, cause that's something you see in whiffle ball.
That is one of the best knuckleballers of all time, and probably one of the best ones he’s ever throw
Those knuckle balls. To perfect those is a art. You mess those up most batters will send em sailing
Kyle Snyder the knuckle ball is impossible to hit the top spin on the bat after hitting it will always make u pop up
Catchers like wheres it gonna end up
I used to pitch and still have no idea how some of these are done with so much ease. Beautiful.
Love the video guys!
Knuckleballer Charlie Hough never got the credit he deserved.
Agreed!!!!
@1:41 in the background, "what the fuck was that"
Rob _ lmao
AwesomeGamer999 not see, hear
lol nice catch!
Rob _ 😂😂i hear him
😂😂😂
I need some Barry zito curves included, awesome vid
i had a large sweeping curveball in highschool. i threw left handed and facing lefties at the plate was a lot of fun. the ball would start out right at them, then slowly curve over the plate. now i batted left oo, and i would fall for it almost every time
"The same pitch as last one by a different pitcher."
the Knuckleball is such a nasty pitch. I could watch em all day
That knuckle ball at 4:35 was GROSS 🤢🤮... batter didn't make contact and the catcher didn't even get his mitt within a foot of that disgusting pitch 😳
How do you forgot the nastiest pitch of all time? Mariano's cutter.....not only did it dominate lefties and righties but it broke like a thousand bats in the process. 😳
Facts
Zito's 12-6 curve was the best I've seen when he was young.
Michael Meloche
I learned how to throw a 12-6 when I pitched in summer leagues in '01 and '02 when he was filthy. Greatest curveball I've ever seen in my 27 years of existence. And then he went to the Giants and suuuucked.
No Kershaw curveballs or Scherzer sliders? WTF
The Orioles had a closer years ago named Gregg Olson who had the filthiest curveball ever. It was his out pitch. Hitters knew it was coming and they still couldn't hit it.
Wakefield's KNUCKLEBALL
0:27 is this the baseball equivalent of breaking someones ankles
How did Clayton Kershaw’s curveball NOT make this video? His curve is quite possibly the nastiest curve ever.
I know right??
Nolan Ryan has entered the chat.
How could you not include Rivera’s Cutter? That pitch was a nightmare.
so fun watching those guys thru the years
All this has shown me is how little I understand about baseball. They all look more or less the same to me
Needs more Kershaw. Also, Tony Zych's slider before he got hurt (like 2015ish) is nicknamed "Satan's Frisbee" among Mariner fans.
King Felix's change-up should have made the list from his perfect game. That thing was absolutely unhittable!
Those pitches are like beautiful works of art..The practice and skill is off the charts
