He used to warm up before a game he pitched in by throwing a football for a half-hour or so. So when he grabbed a baseball, it felt and weighed about as much as a pea! Kind of like a batter swinging a weighted bat before an at-bat.
nolan didnt have the greatest mechanics it was just his stuff was nasty and he worked out way harder and did more effective stuff than anyone else in his time did. im not saying he wasnt great he was unreal its just he didnt have the greatest mechanics
Ryan did steroids like Clemmens, Schilling and a few other pitchers who SUDDENLY put on 20 pounds of muscle and throwing no hitters again over 40 when the guy was fading in the late 80's. But No! It's just Barry Bonds and Mark Macquire.....yeah right. please
im so glad he run tx ranger they do well thakn to himin the past they were hitting good but pitch was not now both are good i like american sport to unpredictable with ur salary cap and draft syysytem in eu soccer we dont have that so the rich team always win the medium team and lame team lose and go bankrupt u can see who win after watching game five minute ill switch from soccer to usa sport i like playoff
@PitchingAcademy I got one of those radar guns and measured how fast my sperm flew outta my piss pump. It was 67 mph! Not bad but my cock got a ticket for jerking in a handicap zone.
this video is fucking sick. the all time strike out king teaching the second all time strike out king. two of some the greatest pitchers to ever play the game
Yeah Nolan Ryan is a standard of greatness in MLB. His last no-hitter was at age 44. Despite his record of 7 no hitters.......he never pitched a perfect game, or received the Cy Young award.
@rpmpwnedu Nolan Ryan was left handed? Where did you get that. I have been a baseball fan for over 40 years and I have watched the Angels and the Dodgers, being from Orange County, Ca, and trust me, this is Nolan Ryan and he was, is, always has been righthanded! I saw one of his no hitters live, in, if I remember correctly without looking it up, 1974 verses the Minnesota Twins. I sat there with my father on the third base side of Angel Stadium, between third base and the foul poll.
@beastfromdowneast No, Ryan saved Johnson's career. Why do you think Randy had more wins in his 20s then his 40s? He couldn't throw a strike until Ryan showed him how to pitch. You can look it up online, Randy had a mechanical flaw that Ryan was able to fix.
@fretode yeah, well, Nolan Ryan's career was saved, when someone(honestly can't remember who, I just remember Tom House mentioning it at a seminar of his) told him to keep his eyes straight. In other words, keep his head still, the most common mistake of pitchers, of all ages, including many major leaguers, especially those with control problems.
@noahmcdx no, you can check who the angels pitching coach was in 1972, when ryan was traded to the angels (i only know this because i was reading the angles essential book today, lol, but then, i know a crap load about the angels, well, more than the average fan, or intermediate one)
@fretode You sound as though Nolan Ryan was a good strike thrower...Dude walked a LOT of batters. his BB/9 ratio sucks and his K/BB ratio isn't anything great either...He's a hall of fame pitcher who was a strikeout master, but don't act like he's this strike thrower who taught Randy Johnson how to throw strikes. lol
@xRyanP421x Ryan was by no means a great strike thrower and I never said that he was, but that doesn't change the fact that he worked with Johnson for an entire offseason and helped him become the dominant pitcher he would become by improving his mechanics and therefore his control
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Nolan is a piece of living shit!he does not belong in the hall of fame . He lost more than he won and when he threw his no hitters he walked like 10 or 12 batters a true piece of shit as a human being and a pitcher.P.S. all texans are ignorant dumbasses
@dmtdmt1969 ....now that's something a 14 yr old might say...but it says you're 41?? Time to grow up and be a man and move out of your mother's basement....on second thought you might want to stay there....you'd get your ass kicked daily on the street.
@dmtdmt1969 Seriously, you are one stupid trailer trash piece of shit. Nolan Ryan pitched for teams who couldn't score. He lead the league with a 2.76 ERA one year when he went 8-16. Go back to your vomit filled couch and watch some little league game and jerk off Chester the Molestor. Nobody gives a fuck to read your dumbshit ignorant comments. You have the IQ of a retard.
@dmtdmt1969 You are obviously a Yankees bandwagon fan who appreciates a team who buys its championships. But seriously, you just made yourself look like the biggest moron on youtube, though I would bet you crave the attention.
@doug77082 The yankees don't think so.If you are smart enough to understand baseball stats you will see that in one of his no hitters he walked 8 batters not a great pitching performance.I stand by my comment. P.S. i WILL TAKE AN I.Q. test against you and spot you 30 points.
@dmtdmt1969 I know more about baseball stats than you'll ever learn little boy. Obviously you know NOTHING about statistics. Making a case for an entire career based upon ONE GAME where he had 8 walks in a no-hitter is retarded. I guarantee you that spooting me 30 points in an IQ test will embarrass you. My IQ has been tested at 151 and I HIGHLY DOUBT you come close to that, much less a 181. But let's start now dumbshit. No need for an IQ test.

@dmtdmt1969 No offense, but it is not hard to throw a no hitter in Little League, I have thrown 2 in little league and 1 in competetive baseball and I am only 13. I am not trying to say I am amazing because I am not. I am just saying that The little League ones shouldn't count. :D. But I give you props for throwing a no hitter in High School.

Your filthy language is that of an illiterate self centered, rude inconsiderate boob., Nolan is a perfect example for young prospective pitchers and those many pitching hopefuls who have been throwing the wrong way from day one of their pitching tenure to learn from, whether they be major, minor leageurs, college, high school and/or youth age.
I have an excellent, just beautiful video clip of him pitching from the stretch position.
He's a great player, but also a great President for the Rangers. I mean look what he did for the Rangers the past two years and with little money they had. They went from bad 3 years ago to now division leaders.
The more important thing to note about this clip is that Tom House(also a former MLB pitcher) has been involved with both Johnson's and Ryan's careers. When Tom speaks, smart people listen.
ryan had a big curve ball, but his fastball was never clocked over 90 mph. in his last yrs he went to the nukkleball; thats why he pitched in his 30s.
@TheHuntaz No, phil niekro and his brother joe pitched too. but nolan ryan was kinda like an average guy on bad teams. he coulda won 200 games if he woulda been on a team like the Reds or something.
@uselessjoe who wrote: "nolan ryan was kinda like an average guy on bad teams. he coulda won 200 games if he woulda been on a team like the Reds or something."
You mean as opposed to the 324 games he actually did win? So you're saying he would have won 124 *fewer* games if he had been on better teams... Dude, you really are "useless"... :-P
That Randy guy looks like he plays basketball; what? did he win a drawing to get a lesson. He's obviously not a pitcher as tall as he is; plus he ain't even paying attention; like, hay, I'm outta hear.
@uselessjoe ur a dumbass that " basketball player" is Randy Johnson one of the greatest pitchers ever he is in the top three pitchers ever behind roger clemens and nolan ryan in strikeouts so i dont know how he is there bu tobviously he doesnt need to be and if you dont believe me go to google and look up randy johnson and see what comes up
@RolexMan1997 YOU SURELY MUST BE REFERRING TO WALTER JOHNSON; AKA THE BIG TRAIN; WHO, BY THE WAY WAS WAY DEAD BEFORE NOLAN RYAN EVER THRU A BALL FOR THE METS. ain't no pitcher as tall as that guy; he played basketball i just bet.
@RolexMan1997 hay man; u rap lover, "The Big Unit" was an album released in 2003 by Slim Thug and Lil Keke. so now I know u like that kinda musik; no wonders u being not knowing who Nolan Ryan is; Sandy Koufax had more no hitters than Ryan.
@RolexMan1997 You got a lot of hate. Randy Johnson retired. Nolan Ryan has cattle farms. And I pitch for the LA Dodgers. Well, 2 outta 3 ain't bad. Ok, back to playing "Battleship."
@quadfan96 You're supposed to finish across your body. You're thinking of when coaches say, "don't throw across your body." That means when your delivery comes before you open your hips and chest to the target and throw "across" a body that's still sideways. Once you open up and throw, you're supposed to bring your hand across toward your opposite hip. What MLB pitcher *doesn't* do that?
thats probably cuz hes around 50 in this video. hes just showin off his mechanics, not his speed. in his problem he could throw probably around twice this speed, cuz that looks like its around 50mph (just a rough estimate though)
@rhp92k – Uh, no. He's throwing somewhere in the mid-80's here. If he were throwing 50, it would take just under a second for the ball to get from his hand to the mitt. This is taking about a half second.
ppl talking like this is some recent stuff. this looks like randy pickn some tips up at the young ages.. as u can tell randy has the same durable delivery that is lettn him still pitch in the 40s
@inFamousAnto supposedly Ryan taught Randy how to control his pitching power, especially his heater, when Randy was still coming up in the majors. Its kind of funny cus Ryan is the all-time BB leader, but still understandable. It ain't easy controlling a ball going 100mph no? I love the Ryan Express - still got the newspaper clipping when he retired

I do not know so much about baseball, soccer is the big sport in Germany, but if Mr. Ryan was the greatest then why do they not replace " The Cy Young Award" with " The Nolan Ryan Award"? Perhaps a certain amount of time has to pass before this will happen?
zumaya didn't roid. if he roided he wouldn't be getting injured so much. zumaya is just a moron and doesn't realize his arm action is hurting himself.
i love nolan ryan too but u make yourself look like an idiot when you throw figures like 107-108 around its not humanly possible with or without steroids and the most that would have happened is he would of had more endurance and less recovery time
they used an artillery shell speed calculator which takes measures how long it takes for the ball to travel a bout a foot and they put it infront of the catcher and it was 98.6 mph which nowadays is around 105 - 115
Tom House is the same bozo who said mark Prior had perfect mechanics.

inFamous Anto,
What is your IQ?
Your filthy language is that of an illiterate self centered, rude inconsiderate boob., Nolan is a perfect example for young prospective pitchers and those many pitching hopefuls who have been throwing the wrong way from day one of their pitching tenure to learn from, whether they be major, minor leageurs, college, high school and/or youth age.
I have an excellent, just beautiful video clip of him pitching from the stretch position.

He's a great player, but also a great President for the Rangers. I mean look what he did for the Rangers the past two years and with little money they had. They went from bad 3 years ago to now division leaders.

The more important thing to note about this clip is that Tom House(also a former MLB pitcher) has been involved with both Johnson's and Ryan's careers. When Tom speaks, smart people listen.

nolan ryan was / is / forever will be my favorite pitcher - the ryan express !
he was on horrible california teams in the 70's
he is a HOF'er - end of story
i remember watching robin ventura run at him and the first thing i thought was oh my god he is going to hit nolan
then robin ventura's dignity was taken from him .....................never to return
most headshots in 5 seconds ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ryan had a big curve ball, but his fastball was never clocked over 90 mph. in his last yrs he went to the nukkleball; thats why he pitched in his 30s.

You must be retarded...How old are you? Maybe you are thinking of Phil Niekro? Nolan Ryan wa clocked over 102 mph...Cosistently in the 97-98mph range

@TheHuntaz No, phil niekro and his brother joe pitched too. but nolan ryan was kinda like an average guy on bad teams. he coulda won 200 games if he woulda been on a team like the Reds or something.

@uselessjoe who wrote: "nolan ryan was kinda like an average guy on bad teams. he coulda won 200 games if he woulda been on a team like the Reds or something."
You mean as opposed to the 324 games he actually did win? So you're saying he would have won 124 *fewer* games if he had been on better teams... Dude, you really are "useless"... :-P

That Randy guy looks like he plays basketball; what? did he win a drawing to get a lesson. He's obviously not a pitcher as tall as he is; plus he ain't even paying attention; like, hay, I'm outta hear.
uselessjoe 1 year ago
@uselessjoe ur a dumbass that " basketball player" is Randy Johnson one of the greatest pitchers ever he is in the top three pitchers ever behind roger clemens and nolan ryan in strikeouts so i dont know how he is there bu tobviously he doesnt need to be and if you dont believe me go to google and look up randy johnson and see what comes up

@RolexMan1997 YOU SURELY MUST BE REFERRING TO WALTER JOHNSON; AKA THE BIG TRAIN; WHO, BY THE WAY WAS WAY DEAD BEFORE NOLAN RYAN EVER THRU A BALL FOR THE METS. ain't no pitcher as tall as that guy; he played basketball i just bet.

kace842 1 year ago
@quadfan96 You're supposed to finish across your body. You're thinking of when coaches say, "don't throw across your body." That means when your delivery comes before you open your hips and chest to the target and throw "across" a body that's still sideways. Once you open up and throw, you're supposed to bring your hand across toward your opposite hip. What MLB pitcher *doesn't* do that?

It doesn't look like he is really throwing hard in this video.
55futurelincecum 2 years ago
thats probably cuz hes around 50 in this video. hes just showin off his mechanics, not his speed. in his problem he could throw probably around twice this speed, cuz that looks like its around 50mph (just a rough estimate though)
rhp92k 2 years ago
@rhp92k – Uh, no. He's throwing somewhere in the mid-80's here. If he were throwing 50, it would take just under a second for the ball to get from his hand to the mitt. This is taking about a half second.

@inFamousAnto supposedly Ryan taught Randy how to control his pitching power, especially his heater, when Randy was still coming up in the majors. Its kind of funny cus Ryan is the all-time BB leader, but still understandable. It ain't easy controlling a ball going 100mph no? I love the Ryan Express - still got the newspaper clipping when he retired

I do not know so much about baseball, soccer is the big sport in Germany, but if Mr. Ryan was the greatest then why do they not replace " The Cy Young Award" with " The Nolan Ryan Award"? Perhaps a certain amount of time has to pass before this will happen?
deutschschoen 2 years ago
ryan wasnt the greatest pitcher, but he very well could have the livliest arm of any person to walk the face of the earth..
if he roided like dibble or zuymaya or that lot, he could have thrown 107-108
bettydaw1970 2 years ago
zumaya didn't roid. if he roided he wouldn't be getting injured so much. zumaya is just a moron and doesn't realize his arm action is hurting himself.

no cause he was clocked at 98.6 AT THE PLATE. today on a gun that would translate to over 110

there were no radar guns then( in Fellers day ) , it was impossible to accurately say how hard he was throwing
HelterSkelter73 2 years ago
they used an artillery shell speed calculator which takes measures how long it takes for the ball to travel a bout a foot and they put it infront of the catcher and it was 98.6 mph which nowadays is around 105 - 115

walter johnson would be clocked at 115 if they had radar guns back then
