  • Whoever thinks the catcher sucks obviously hasent ever caught a good knuckle

    You don't catch them you block them

  • Horrible catcher

  • damn that catcher sucks, btw sick knuckles

  • @TheAirster U try to catch it.Its prob. hard to catch

  • damn nice only seen 2 better than that my friends and of course time wakefields

  • 0:43 was crazy. nicee!!! also love that random woman's chime

  • I did'nt see anything after the third pitch cause all I could think about was boy I sure hope thats plexiglass cause no one knows where a knuckle ball is goin :)

  • last one=NASTY

  • catcher sucks

  • Sick knuckle ball but am I the only one wondering if it's best not to pitch around windows with a pitch like that? lol

  • Hey man great knuckle ball! could you post a video of your grip? Or your tips?

  • That last one corkscrews like crazy. It dances. Nice throwing. I sure as hell couldn't catch that.

  • Plastic glove, I think

  • Did you ever think he uses a ball with color so that assholes like you know the balls not spinning? You got a better knuckleball? Post a video or shut the fuck up

  • why would u play knuckleball infront of windows

  • haha

  • when i throw knuckle balls theres no spin but it doesnt move it just does a sharp drop like a extreme forkball

  • i had to wtch again and im sorry for goin that far, there were some really good pitches i couldnt hit straight

  • the catcher sure made them look better

  • lol someones working on the chair in the back at :038

  • i love how the ball pwns him 0:32

  • Watch the people in the background, this was prolly a days worth of throwing.

  • man those knukle balls had movement

  • Dang these are some of the better knuckle pitches Ivs seen, whats youre grip

  • Majority of your knuckleballs were breaking low to the right. I'd be either sitting on that or crowding the plate waiting for one to hit me :p

    Keep up the good work :)

  • knuckle balls r so unpredicatable its hard to catch them

  • lol i thought the 9th one hit him

  • I love the catcher's body language when he misses the catch.

  • can someone tell me his grip

  • id hate to be his catcher.

  • Nasty. I couldn't catch him, either....

  • why are you playing in front of a glass window

  • That last one was ridiculous...i'd be down swinging..

  • I'm a knuckball thrower and would appreciate any helpful advice from fellow knuckleball throwers. I hear a lot of suggestions like use your fingernails to create a dead spin, but I actually use my knuckles and have more control, but if I use my finger tips, I have less control but more movement. Is there any way I can get more movement by useing my knuckles instead of my finger tips? or should I switch? They say the Knuckleball is a gimmick, but tell that to Phil Niekro.

  • People will tell you it's a gimmick but don't worry just shrug it off. Now if you're really serious about it just keep experimenting, there's really no other way to keep it working or to get it working. Personally I could never figure out the knuckle technique, I'm a fingertip guy, I personally think maybe the fingertips would be the right thing for you, I don't think you can generate enough velocity to make it move off your knuckles. Go with the movement and work on your mechanics. good luck

  • It's a freak show, but yet it works!

    I like to throw it, so nasty even MLB catchers doesn't appreciate that! What ever peopel may say, if you can throw an almost perfect Knuckler over 90% of the time, you got a MLB ticket.

    The idea is to feel how it feels when it works. Keep in your head that feeling and it'll go out like it should.

    I grip like the guy on ViewDo. I push it out and feel my wrist kind of shaking and it sort of come out of my hands. Keep your feeling in mind and work hard.

  • use your finger tips in a game a few times because most people don't have a lot of control over their knuckle-ball thats why you see knuckle ballers getting a lot of wild pitches so just try it with both and which ever gets the most outs use.

  • do you use 3 of your knuckles or two?

  • the catcher sucks

  • I'd see you with knuckleballs. We maybe don't figure all the movement, but sometimes, it just kicks a bit just before he catches.

    Even MLB catchers hate to catch this pitch since it's simply unhuman to do. Wakefield has HIS catcher and no other would do this job since he needs someone used to.

  • Cut him some slack. I've caught a knuckleballer. It is the oddest thing in the world watching it fly. The problem is that it's unpredictable. It could move right for a couple feet, left for a few, right for a foot, left again, down! It's crazy.

  • 0:42 is the bet

  • haha catcher is so confused

  • he is havin some TROUBLE

  • damn those chinks can throw

  • Hahaha random lady in the building and working outside

  • i think this pitch is fucking amazing and you throw it great... but just throwing this out there... when the ball hit the ground it sounded like rubber?:s

  • Amazing but the catcher throws wierd and they sound american

  • the catcher can't catch and throws like a girl

  • i also thought on the last pitch of the video, the catcher would get hit in the nuts or sumin like that.

  • this is a sick knuckler and you can actually see movement and no rotation on the ball unlike other knuckleball videos on youtube. The knuckleball is such a fascinating pitch and i am obsessed with trying to throw it. I am only like 12 so i dont have much arm strength, but my knuckleball has like no rotation and hopefully it will work when i can throw it faster. Great job on the video, and how fast do you think the knuckler has to go to be somewhat like yours?

  • This catcher is the suplent of Kevin Cash (Red Sox) LoL

  • Jason Veritek once said that "trying to catch a KnuckleBall is like trying to catch a fly with a chopstick". 2004 World Series Interview GM1

  • the knuckleball is my favorite pitch, because it is so fun to throw.

  • im thinking wat if they hit the window

  • you retard Varitek and cash both catch wakefield.

  • Varitek doesn't catch Wake. Varitek just can't catch the knuck, notice most k-ballers have a catcher for themselves because not everyone can catch a knuck.

  • no.. only kevin cash catches wakefield in the 2008 season.

  • u suck at cathching

  • @fenderstrat698 You suck at spelling.

  • Comment removed

  • @fenderstrat698 You suck at spelling.

  • not to mechen they're from japan so the balls can be different

  • the one at :42 was his best. Well, they were all good. And that looked like a real ball just one thats not just plain white. Could be colored? just like the gold balls in the HR derby.

  • thats not even a real baseball... anyone could throw a decent knuckleball with a fake ball....

  • the catcher sucks

  • does anyone realize the knuckleball is the hardest pitch to catch? it can end up anywhere...why do you think Tim Wakefield has a catcher who only catches him...with the Red Sox regular catcher his ERA was 9.00+ so he has a catcher who specializes in catching knucks...

  • that was amazing!

  • 2nd and last were sick!

  • the one at 0:42 is really nice

  • how fast would you say ur throwing?

  • These are obviously beginers in the ways of the knuckle ball. The ball they are throwing is a rag ball, it makes it really easy to throw one.

  • You're obviously a beginner in the ways of the knuckleball. He uses a ball with color on it to make it easier for him to judge the spin on the ball.

  • lastball is so good!

  • 特別出演の女性がこれまたナックル的で意外な展開。

  • man don't listen to these jerks half of em' dont know jack about baseball. your doin a fine job catching they don't realize how rare it is to have a decent knuckle ball catcher

  • i agree, most people dont realize that a good catcher has the toughest job in the field

  • @kiksurbals especially a knuckle ball catcher

  • Nice movement and speed.

  • NICE

  • breaking in a new glove ?

    haha nice knuckler

  • that is an awesome knuckleball, good control speed and movement, go pro dude!

  • the 2nd and 5th pitches are killer...

    great vid!

  • nice knuckles

  • dirtayy..

  • The ball just dies at the end

  • I wonder what type of camera he is using. Very good quality.

  • catcher has a damn heavy glove lol. nice vid.

  • MLB anyone>?

  • DANG. Wow. The last pitch was awesome. Went left then right then down. Sick. Nice work.

  • then make a video element you fucking punk ass bitch trying to hide behind a computer you low life bitch

  • I wish I could throw a knuckle like that.=/

  • be careful...you'll end up throwing one up your mom's ass

  • THe knuckleball is not easy to catch, Jason Varitek can't even do it! It dances man, leave the man alone.

  • dude, catching a knuckleball is extremely hard...

    Jason Varitek doesn't even catch for Tim Wakefield when he pitches.

  • seei wish half the videos of this i saw had this perspective great!!!

  • That last one was pretty good, it went 2 diff directions,left then right, while dropping.

  • lol, you idiot! that's a junkball, a 5 year old can throw a knuckleball because it's a specially designed wiffle ball to do that!

  • No that's a baseball he is throwing, it is specially colored to show any spin. If it were a junkball it would be dancing all over.

  • i wonder what that woman in the green shirt says? probably something like "you ain't gonna play ball all day, are you?" lol

  • Funny, though at the same time its showing the guy throw a knuckle, theres kinda like a time lapse going on with that woman in the green shirt.

  • Yeah realize that catching a knuckleball is not as easy as it sounds, my dad and I both can throw them and niether of us catch them well.

  • Knuckleball pitchers often have their own catchers (ie. Mirrabelli for Wakefield) because their 'knucks are so nasty to try to catch. I've seen Mirrabelli miss-catch 4 or 5 Wakefield pitches in a single inning.

  • They are WAY hard to catch. My friend is an excellent catcher, but he can't catch my knuckle ball that well because you can't tell where, when, or how it will break. That's why Doug Mirrabelli is EXTREMELY valuable to the Red Sox and Tim Wakefield.

  • that is a nasty knuckleball and the catcher cant catch it because it moves sharp and late

  • yea the catcher doesnt no how to catch a damn baseball

  • I'm sure he can catch just fine, but knuckleballs must be caught differently.

  • Who cares if the catcher sucks. I can't believe those windows are right there and still intact!!!!!!!!!!

  • that catcher sucks

  • Hey man, how do you film these? Like how do you set up the camera? And what type of camera do you film it with? Cause I'd like t odo the same thing......Nice knuckler though.
