    "I'd rather they hit the batter, than miss over the middle of the plate" 😆 Love it.
    Super interesting little chat. Love how Pedro is still creating plans for players who are playing now.

      What Many said was everything I was coached to do going up in the 90's. I didn't know things had changed that much... my kid is in the process of learning to spot his fastball low, in and out... he's 9 and all ready getting it.

      @@gkdunch A BB is also only 1 base, why I’ve always not liked WHIP because it places a walk at equal value to a hit. Barring an error, a walk is only one base, and may be the best choice to make with a hot hitter and/or to set up a double play. A hit could be anywhere from 1-4 bases, and could drive in multiple runs. But they’re placed at equal value to create WHIP.

    A lot of you are delusional to think that a young Pedro Martinez would not dominate today like when he pitched. He had something which cannot be thought. He had a high IQ when it comes to pitching. Like he stated that he saw alot of young pitcher that could throw 98 miles per hour. It doesn't matter what Era in baseball you pitched you have to take control from the start. You young cats are delusional.

    Here worked so hard on the outside part of the plate because the inside part was EASY for him lol.
    Somewhere, there's a clip on CZcams where he talks with Ted Williams about the insider pitch and Ted Williams forced him to learn to turn on it.
    Game 1 1998 world series. Moonshot off the upper deck. That's what can happen when you go inside and gwynn decides to put datass into it

    Listen, Judge has to be mentioned more than just hitting homers. And I’ll say it again, listen to how Pedro said he’d work him completely inside. I can literally go to every home run from last year that he hit were literally middle cut, almost dead center covering way too much of the plate. How did 62 pitchers miss that badly?

    • @travisp5747
      @travisp5747 Před rokem

      I’ve noticed that same thing too. Even the past few he’s hit on this hot run he’s on. It seems like a overwhelming majority of those bombs are on hanging ass sliders. Idk what the numbers are but I’d be willing to bet they’re a lot more than you might think

      As Pedro said, too many inexperienced pitchers who don't know where the ball is going. That = a lot of center-cut fast balls that end up in highlight shows.

  • @0711boomer
    @0711boomer Před rokem +2

    This is exactly what I keep saying, this is why pitching has been sucking and games having high scoring games. Cause they can't hit locations and you have pitching coaches that won't practice them hitting locations and catchers who don't set up location for a pitcher anymore. The game sucks and if we finally see a good kitchen again like Pedro Greg Maddux then Aaron judge be going for a lot of hat tricks.

    • @travisp5747

      @0711boomer Před rokem

      @Travis P def not F'N hitting there locations. What games you watching why do you think the games are all high scoring games. They can't hit location to save there lives.

    98mph with a change up that broke like a splitter... Pedro could do whatever he wanted. But alas he played for the worst team in sports history 🤬 If I could pitch like Pedro I would pound Judge inside under his hands 98-97 and then stay away with that nasty change up over the outside corner. But lots of fastballs. Just don't leave it over the plate up cuz we all see what happens to that... 460 ft. Judge is hard to beat right now though. He's staying down on the ball and doing what he's supposed to be doing thinking hit the ball to right center. He was pulling off the ball a lot before he got hurt and was fouling off lots of hittable pitches... he's staying on it right now and lots of balls are becoming valuable souvenirs.

    pedro martinez hit everyone. His philosophy was hitting hitters so they were afraid to crowd the plate and then he would go away with his pitches. these days he would be ejected and fined to many times to just hit people every game. he also wouldn't be able to use any substance o the ball and he would be average pitcher to good pitcher but not what he was.
