Love listening to Pedro talk about pitching
God Pedro is so smart I love when legends of the game and commentators actually keep up and share strategy rather than just hot takes
Pedro as a Yankees fan i hated you growing up but man i respect u and ur knowledge as a pitcher and competitor
Him, Many and Poppy are the ones that got away.... WTF Cashman!
Pedro Martinez is the only reason I watch this channel once in a while
Me too❤
"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.
That’s the mentality of someone who doesn’t want to be beat and that’s how you pitch
hbp is one base, a homer is 4
@@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.
I had the pleasure of watching Pedro pitch in person and it was like watching an artist paint a masterpiece.
I love the explanations
Pedro gives
Pretty good inside knowledge from the master.
Pedro has to be the smartest pitcher of our generation if not all time. Loved when he pitched for the Phillies back in 2009.
Pedro has extremely high pitching IQ, but Greg Maddux was simply on a different level than everyone else. I suppose he's still pre-Pedro's prime!
Tony Gwynn - 11 for 35 against Pedro with zero Ks. Thats amazing.
Gwynn is the greatest contact hitter to ever play imo. At least since Ty Cobb.
@@TheVigorousWolf I don't think you spelled Luis Arraez there.
Their primes didn't overlap at all
@@jaydenbell4975 no he was right. You must be 12 or something. Tony was a god at contact hitting
@@hw6271 more than good lol
Always a smart take from Pedro.
I was at this game out in right field as a Red Sox fan and let me tell you, it’s a night I’ll never forget.
Wow tons of insight here....not trying to be an ass here. I learned a lot from this short clip
Pedro reminds me of a time when analytics weren't dictating literally every decision in baseball
and players just assessed the others, using their own judgement to make pitches.
Exactly, to me that takes more intelligence. I appreciate that approach a lot more.
It was a time of great inefficiency
Pedro is master pitcher!
Pedro would still throw at guys. Prime Pedro would still be S class in today's game
Great video from you guys. Love stuff like this!
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.
As someone who grew up and pitched in the early 2000s, when Pedro speaks I listen
Always enjoy Pedro.
PEDRO THE GOAT. 🇩🇴🐐💪🔥⚾️⚾️⚾️
I would love to see if I could actually make contact with his fastball or curveball but most likely I will not! Most nastiest pitcher I’ve seen in my life
Baseball and actually all of sports today is just full of kids. You can see the emotional immaturity in all of them. I appreciate the generation of Pedro and all of others of that day and before MUCH MUCH more. People want to see MEN on the field not high schoolers.
Pedro is the GOAT.
The change-up works in every era sooooo
I was visiting a friend of mine in DR
Look at the pedro
Pedro, your my favorite pitcher of all time besides satchel paige and nolan Ryan.
Let Tony have his singles🤣🤣🤣
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
Harold Reynolds analysis very much reminds me of Kenny Smith on the NBA side
Pedro should be coaching.
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?
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
with how many meatballs he got last year, and this year suspiciously
has to be intentional, probably a narrative they want for Judge tbh
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.
Thinking Pedro turns down offers to be a MLB pitching coach. Daily. Constantly. Always learn something when Pedro speaks.
He's my favorite modern pitcher but his plan against Tony couldn't have been worse lol. Better to let Tony have his singles than go inside and let him turn on a pitch.
Schwarbs is this era’s Adam Dunn
I would argue Dunn was better. Better AVG and slightly more power.
If you can ALWAYS provide a reason for a fastball too far in? You might be Pedro Martinez.
Pedro Martinez and Curt Schilling would tell their manager and stick it. Martinez and shilling would pitch way out of a jam on the bases.
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.
Why are you insinuating that the pitching coaches don’t teach hitting locations? Wtf you think they’re teaching then?
@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 was all about just drilling guys. Sent 2 Yanks to the hospital in the first inning once. Anything up and in on Manny he's gonna cry about like he did that time he pretended that Clemens came inside too far and started the brawl.
Steriods!!!
Y'all just gonna pretend like Steroids are Not Back in the MLB????
They never left, but the important thing is to keep it quiet for now. Maybe in 10-20 years we can be more open and honest, when the baby boomers die off. You saw how they lost their minds in the early 2000’s😮
@@HkFinn83yeah I always find it comical that when it comes to baseball it’s the worst thing ever. Yet when it comes to other sports like football and basketball those same people see it and just shrug.
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.
Sorry but Pedro wouldn’t make it the big leagues today. Athletes are so much more evolved than when he played. He’d get crushed by Schwarber.
Your delusional
who's your daddy?
