@@Set_Your_Handlle Except for the fact he doesn't have to shake off the pitches he doesn't want to get the one he does. So he just inputs the pitch and location, meaning he gets to stay in rhythm better.
Honestly surprised this hasn’t happened sooner. If I’m catching for a dominant pitcher, I have 0 issue with him just going to work with his best judgement first
Every pitcher throws what they want, the catcher shows the signs and the pitchers either goes through with it or shakes their head asking for another until they get what they want. Only rookie pitchers 100% follow what the catchers wants.
@@HughMungus4655 Roger said that his catcher could read his eyes and know what he wanted to throw I think Roger said he had 1 catcher that he couldn’t really sync with
As a former D1 college pitcher (20 years ago) I called almost all my pitches IF me and the catcher weren't on the same page. I did it by adding to a "sign" with a quick swipe with my glove as I came set. Also had signs to change the location of the pitch. We had several systems including a completely different system with runners on 2nd. Then occasionally I'd get so pumped I'd straight yell "fastball" or give the universal sign (up flip with glove) or curveball (down flip) and let it fly! The batters would get so plssed off 😂. If the other team got mad enough to intentionally hit one of our batters, you better believe the first sign when we got back out on the field would be the middle finger, another "universal" sign for..... high and inside... right at his ear hole!
I played catcher off and on (i was primarily right field) but both our catchers got injured. When doing my sentence behind the dish the pitchers loved me because i just set up and let them do whatever they wanted. Plus i was a big advocate of plunking dudes on purpose.
I mean, while it is a big change in the game, it’s not much different than Scherzer just shaking until he gets what he wants. It’s practically the same thing since the pitcher chooses what he likes, and a lot of the time is thinking the same way as their catcher
@@williamsparks1521 thats because they haven’t established a batter relationship with their catcher yet. its like a college senior catching his senior pitcher that know each other more than themselves, versus a senior catching a true freshman from the other side of the country that he just met that day.
As an Australian who is used to just seeing someone bowl a cricket ball and the wicket keeper just reacts to whatever is bowled. This makes so much more sense. Your pitchers should be calling what kind of throw they think is needed.
FINALLY!!! I have been waiting for this ever since I learned the basics of baseball! "But why doesn't the catcher singal what's coming to the catcher?" THE TIME IS NOW!!!
Greg Maddox called his own games as a Brave. Each fidget, shimmy, and stretch on the mound was a code to his catcher. Hand signals by the catcher were only used to confirm.
I'm a Tiger and Rays fan, so I remember watching Max when I was Younger, It was sad to see him leave Detroit. I've always loved Scherzer though even when he left Detroit
Haven't watched in a long time. But the idea of the game having added technology to communicate pitches, would be a reason I wouldn't start watching again. Seriously, why add an aid like that? What next, gloves with Velcro in the middle to make sure the ball doesn't slip out? Just play baseball.
@@whateveryo4470 Maddox was doing when Atlanta had a dominant pitching crew in 96 and the Yankees were doing it with their dominant pitching crew as well in the early 2000’s both teams had unbelievable pitching depth
It would make sense, unless you had played baseball a long time and knew how pitchers think (or not many times) and knew how their personalities are in general. They need balance. Let’s just say there’s a reason you don’t see many managers (I know ONE) who are pitchers. Most are not like Max Scherzer in their ability to process information, and Scherzer may not be able to either. I’ll be anxious to see how this goes over a full season.
@@JohnMegaton2062 Being a Pitcher isn't a Personality Disorder. It just means you can throw harder and more accurately, are not a great hitter or as good an athlete. They're usually Tall and Lanky which makes them less effective at the plate and on the base path.
Why? Is Chuck Norris a dick? It a big baby ? Always mad with nothing to back up his baby. Don't touch me? Or the black eye he gave him self accidentally, Or. His dead arm.. or, his self-centered ways? He's a bombastical penis slinger, Can you spell hot air,,??? Better yet.. can you spell narsisist? You tell me? A Worthless egotesical maglamanic.

I know he's 187 year's old he's a pretending bad ass..not real doll face
This honestly makes more sense to me. The pitcher has the best sense of what kind of shot would be best against each batter, and even though the catcher might have the same idea, the fact that the pitcher is the one making the shot, it makes more sense to have him be able to tell what shot to throw.
It was it’s just it took a long time of the pitcher shaking his head no until he got the pitch he wanted… and if they couldn’t get on the same page that’s when the catcher would come out to the mound
As a pitcher I had my own signs that my catcher would read. We would change them every inning for the basic pitches but the more complex pitches had the same call sign.
Yeah some of this stuff just sucks. It takes the humanity and teamwork out of the game. Next third base coaches will disappear because a manager can just tell them from the dugout. Umpires will disappear because computers can do that. But we forget the human part of the game is part of the game. Players overcoming and dealing with the physical limitations is part of the entertainment of the “game” here! I mean, eventually we’re just going to be sitting watching robots play each other and no one will care.
@@JohnMegaton2062but this isn’t even that tho, pitchers used to just shrug off pitches they didn’t want to throw, now they can communicate because they’re on a timer and have to be on the same page
Basset on the Jays does the same thing, because he has 7 pitches, and with the pitch clock there's not enough time for the catcher to cycle through all of them if he wants to throw a specific pitch.

When you play with Max, he tells you what’s going to happen next.
Yes, that's literally what this video was about.😂
That’s the video. Glad you understood. Meathead
@@ChrisJones-pi5mh 😂 💀
Another Mets elimination
Except when he plays against Daniel Camarena
Legend has it the pitcher has always called the shots by shaking his head no to the catcher till he gets the sign or pitch he wants
😂 yeah ik, why are they making such a big deal out of this when millions of pitchers already do this
This video should never have been made
😂😂 exactly
Even in college where coaches call the pitches, pitchers could’d refuse and throw what they thought was needed to get the out.
That is true. THis just speeds up that decision.
@@Set_Your_Handlle Except for the fact he doesn't have to shake off the pitches he doesn't want to get the one he does. So he just inputs the pitch and location, meaning he gets to stay in rhythm better.
Yeah but this way he can go faster without waiting till they get it right
Max doesn't turn on the shower, he stares the shower head until it cries
,😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Greinke was doing this in spring training. Dude even shook himself off. Zack gonna Zack.
That’s a pitcher for you. Letting them call pitches is like handing a chimp a machine gun most of the time. Stand back. Someone’s gonna get shelled.
Ohtani has a pitchcom in his left sleeve... im sure other pitchers have it too
@@JohnMegaton2062yeah that’s why maxxy is one of the best pitchers in the game today. Because he doesn’t know how to pitch 😅😅😅
Honestly surprised this hasn’t happened sooner. If I’m catching for a dominant pitcher, I have 0 issue with him just going to work with his best judgement first
roger clemens said he did something similar when he played

@@HughMungus4655 Roger said that his catcher could read his eyes and know what he wanted to throw I think Roger said he had 1 catcher that he couldn’t really sync with
It’s not about the catchers calling the pitch. They just need to know what’s coming so it’s easier to catch and frame.
True
when Max left home at 18 to pursue his baseball career he told his father “you’re the man of the house now”
It’s “you’re,” but I get the Idea
Good one!

People been telling me that being your own catcher as a pitcher will make your palm grow hair
He he my gramama used to say that to me all the time 😂
Not just any hair, forklift certified hair lol
Only one way to find out!
makes ya go blind!

Exactly. Only rookie pitchers throw what the catcher wants.
I missed you bro
Its not practically the same thing because he gets to instantly make the pitch call and utilize the pitch clock to push the batter into the box.
@@williamsparks1521 thats because they haven’t established a batter relationship with their catcher yet. its like a college senior catching his senior pitcher that know each other more than themselves, versus a senior catching a true freshman from the other side of the country that he just met that day.
@Stimi Hendrix I know,man. I played hardball until my mid 20's and I was a catcher.
As an Australian who is used to just seeing someone bowl a cricket ball and the wicket keeper just reacts to whatever is bowled. This makes so much more sense. Your pitchers should be calling what kind of throw they think is needed.
I know those wicket keepers do hell.of a job specially against good spinners.
Many pitchers are doing this, he's not the only one.
Now all that’s left is watching the catcher shake off the Max’s call
Max shook off his own call 🤣😂🤣
Max is the only man to make Chuck Norris blush
Chuck Norris may be the strongest but Max is the fastest
I saw Max once, he disappeared when I blinked
Lmao...
@@Gomenimam I once challenge Max to a race, race was over before the day it began
Bruh it’s baseball 💀 no one cares about it
Bro is the Chuck Norris of Baseball 💀
We did this in high school with signals only in late inning’s & with runners on! 💯 Great pitchers have always done it!
when Max Scherzer reads a book, the book gains knowledge.
Hahahahahha
The Zlatan of baseball
He’s gaining Chuck Norris infamy
Never laughed harder
Max Scherzer doesn't read books, he opens them up and they read him. 😆
Max Scherzer gives his teachers homework.
The Zlatan of baseball
All students give their teachers homework.
FINALLY!!! I have been waiting for this ever since I learned the basics of baseball! "But why doesn't the catcher singal what's coming to the catcher?" THE TIME IS NOW!!!
Baseball I’m coming home 😏 I missed this fun game so much ❤️
I asked Scherzer how many push ups he can do. He said “all of them”
man, you win. 😂

Man was a God on the mound. I paid him to paint my house and he only painted the edges.
@@personreanimation
But he was done two thirds of the way through
And he always had eddie perez as his personal catcher

Maddux
Scherzer: "Just don't fuck up. I'm stylin out here!'
I'm a Tiger and Rays fan, so I remember watching Max when I was Younger, It was sad to see him leave Detroit. I've always loved Scherzer though even when he left Detroit
havent watched MLB religiously since 2016 but these recent changes are so exciting I might return soon
That was the intention with these rule changes. The game has never been better imo, the water’s warm come take a swim
Same
Haven't watched in a long time. But the idea of the game having added technology to communicate pitches, would be a reason I wouldn't start watching again.
Seriously, why add an aid like that? What next, gloves with Velcro in the middle to make sure the ball doesn't slip out?
Just play baseball.
Zack Grenke is the first pitcher to call his pitches. He was doing it before the wireless device, and he's doing it now with it
Maddux did it before Greinke was even in the league. Lmao and I’m sure others did it before Maddux. Zack was nowhere near the first.
@@whateveryo4470 did you really laugh your ass off?
@@whateveryo4470 Greinke was probably the first in a long time to just tell the batter what pitch is being thrown

Yeah, Greinke has been using this device to call pitches - the hell is this short talking about
I absolutely love this!! I can't wait for more pictures to do this!! ❤️👍🏼
"Kudos to me" -Max😂😂
I love this. He’s a gamer, we get more action, and a whole new element of strategy!
Solid point
When Max was born he congratulated his mother and drove her home
Hes one of my all time favorite pitchers, living, playing legend
Why did I felt so hyped over these when I’m a Yankees fan Cole 11 strikeouts today we are about to see the greatest game take a huge step forward
I’m sure Rawlings will love that pitchcom placement
If I’m the Catcher, I’m letting Sherz call his own pitches 😂
Ditto he has better judgement than most pitchers especially since batters already have problems trying to hit his pitches
Every Pitcher should do this.
It just makes sense.
Who does all the research on the hitters and the patterns and depths of baseball? I can tell u it's the catcher
It would make sense, unless you had played baseball a long time and knew how pitchers think (or not many times) and knew how their personalities are in general. They need balance.

And just like that... he's in my all time list
You’re late!
@@MW53516 late for what?
watched him pitch for the tigers at tiger stadium. dude was an animal.
Would you say, a tiger?

He’s a maniac. Most geniuses are.

About damn time! I think I’ll start watching games again.
Greg Maddux called his own pitches
no he didn't. Max Scherzer called his games.
That's some of the coolest shit I ever heard and I don't even watch baseball. Thank you.
The legend of mad max grows
I love it ❤get those babies in the box and swing 😊😊😊😊
Mets GOAT pitcher. A simple man.
Wandy peralta did that in 19 seconds
It was actually 20. He did it vs the Pirates Marcano.
HOW HAVE I NEVER HERD OF THIS NEW SIGN THING. THATS AWESOME
His catcher will be calling time next! 😂
I hope this catches on. This will literally be a game changer.
Or pitches on. At this point, they are the same.
Can the catcher wave some of the pitches off?
It seems fair.
But would you want to tell Max no? 😂
@@allainangcao28 Mad Max would absolutely just keep mashing the same button until he accepted.
Or just throw it anyway, battery mate be damned.
@@allainangcao28 😂
Why would he, though?
That’s legendary 😂
Absolute mad man.
Zack Greinke called his own pitches using PitchCom as well. Granted, Greinke was doing it for fun. Max is that unhinged.
That’s absolutely a perfect way to sum it up. 😂
I wouldn't be surprised if greinke called whole game and claimed " it made me more comfortable, since I didn't have to interact with my catcher."
Ngl, that’s not only innovative but badass too.
Sonny Gray has been doing this since the start of the season. Max is NOT the only pitcher doing this. But hats off to a 27-second strike out!
Yessir My Boy Scherzer!
The pitcher calling the pitches is how it should have always been
It was it’s just it took a long time of the pitcher shaking his head no until he got the pitch he wanted… and if they couldn’t get on the same page that’s when the catcher would come out to the mound
It's to help with young inexperienced pitchers
Man I miss him so much here in Detroit lol
Shiiiiet your talking to a Washington national we made him the star he became world series n alll
I’m so excited to see him this season! LGM
If I was terrified of being a catcher before, I don’t even want to put the glove anymore
Honestly with the new pitch clock it’s actually a pretty good strategy to not waste time shaking your head at pitch signs
It ruins the flow of the game and misses the fucking point of baseball.
As a pitcher I had my own signs that my catcher would read. We would change them every inning for the basic pitches but the more complex pitches had the same call sign.
We’re living in d@mn 2099, with the pitcher texting his next pitch
Michigan misses Max!
Zlatan: Finally a worthy opponent
Could make a good Vaseline dispenser too!
That traditional hand signals look cool😂
Bro is the Chuck Norris of baseball
With Max Scherzer, having two different colored eyes is normal. Three rest of us are freaks.
Bro ejects the umpire
That's the way it should be. Dudes a legend
When Max took tests in school the tests begged him for good grades
MLB needs to speed up the game. This guy understands
You can't convince me this isn't the most gangster shit in modern Baseball 🤘🏼
Max is unhinged.... and it's amazing.
Welp gents let us all say goodbye to the traditional baseball we all knew and loved

Yep
This is amazing.
Geinke has been doing it all season, it's on his belt.
I thought Abner Doubleday invented baseball in 1888. Which would make baseball 135 y/o.
I don't know anything about baseball but that's definately a good description of legend status

In softball we had those things.they worked really well
27 secounds thats amazing and what an amazing system
That’s actually crazy
This is wild
"Are you the pitcher or catcher in the relationship?"
"Both. At the same time."
That's pretty sick
I love Max Scherzer
Max boutta flip the roles and make the catcher nod his head 😭😭
Tbh, I like the finger sign. As it’s also a play for the other team to decipher or put up bluffs.
ok now that's cool as hell
Pitchers shake off signs often tho. Good teammates know eachothers flow so most already know what they wanna throw. But thats a dope little video
Respect to max
