【魔球】 Yu Darvish Two-seam fastball !!

[Born2rock4]

He does have a great arm. He needs to get more movement on his fastball or the MLB hitters are going to hammer him..Good luck Yu and welcome to MLB in America

[tak525]

Keep going Mr.Darvish.

[TheMadhatter32]

Welcome to the Rangers!!

[semperfoo24]

That is disgusting. I dont know how fast 146km is but if it's anywhere in 90's, this guy is sick. Hope the Yankees get this guy and if they do get him I PRAY that he doesnt turn out like Igawa....what a waste he was. -_-

[g1a8g0a]

@semperfoo24 146km=90's,153km=95's,161km=10­0,approx....

[poconyanpocopoco]

@semperfoo24

Ah, don't worry. his family says he won't go only to Yankees absolutely. Because fan and media are so noisy and insincere, it is also the image Japanese people have. And Yu's farther is an Iranian so he does not need to go to the place where discrimination is severe specially.

[diseasedfoe]

this guy is a beast, yankees are gonna sign him

[incognegro75]

@diseasedfoe Not with the bid they just put in....looks like the jays will win the right to talk to him

[diseasedfoe]

@incognegro75 That's good, I'd rather see him go to the Jays than the Yanks

[j07242054]

looking like normal two seamer in on the hands for me

movement and speed werent that good.

check out Bartolo Colon's two seamer

faster and devastating movement

[hornedfrog2000]

@j07242054

When it was actually working. This isn't actually a two seamer though. Also, it rises up and in it looked like. It's called a shutto. 

[MrTekuani]

Why isn't this guy in the majors? Looks like the Rangers are interested. If this guy pitches against KC, I am getting tickets.

[irtubboftw]

@MrTekuani doubt he'll go he rejected an offer off the yankees a while back

[twinswin1991]

thats way inside, mlb batters wont swing at that....they are too good for that.

[MrTekuani]

@twinswin1991

Whatever. Do you know what a two seam/cutter is supposed to do? That is NASTY. That pitch breaks from the inside strike zone into the batter hands. That is an excellent pitch.

[TDSUSERS]

thats not a 2 seam. its more like shuuto

[Ganndo55]

LOL 40 year old virgins arguing over weird batting stances. GET A LIFE.

[nickelbackrocks16]

Wow, didn't know people still read Bleacher Report articles. Yeah, I stopped reading that garbage when I read about some of Felix Hernandez trade packages. Royals get: Hernandez and M's get: Mike Moustakas, John Lamb, Wil Myers, and Brett Eibner. Makes sense for a rebuilding team to dump there talent that they worked so hard to get for 1 guy, right? Tony Batista doesn't even play in the MLB anymore. And Fielder? Really? You must have gotten that off of Bleacher Report as well? lol

[TabascoOE]

@nickelbackrocks16 The Bleacher Report shows that other people is of the same opinion as I, majority rules. As I said previously, your opinion is your own, but I see no problem with their stance especially their "kung fu stance". Random videos of Japanese players on youtube is not a good representation of Japanese baseball players. After all, Youtube is meant for mostly irrelevant shocking display of everything bizarre. How many batters from Japan have you witness aside from Youtube viewing?

[scottbiatch]

I like it how is says fool on the bottom

[baseballman1126]

変化量がツーシームの域を超えてる！！

[nickelbackrocks16]

If only these guys didn't try to do kong fu on the ball they could hit the ball better. Rediculous batting stances, swings, and leg kicks.

[TabascoOE]

@nickelbackrocks16

Have you seen the batters in MLB? their stances are just as ridiculous. We know these guys can hit, they won the WBC. Also, Ichiro Suzuki has a weird stance, in spite of it he broke all but one hitting record in the MLB.

[nickelbackrocks16]

@TabascoOE MLB batters batting stances are not even close to ridiculous as most of Japanese players are. They are good, sure, but not as great as you think they are once they come to the MLB. I admire Japanese pitchers, but most Japanese hitters that come over to the USA to play MLB doesn't really pan out well, besides Ichiro. I don't see nothing wrong with Ichiros state either. He has the top 10 best hitting mechanics in all of baseball, there's no doubt about that.

[TabascoOE]

@nickelbackrocks16 If you say that Ichiro does not have an unorthodox stance then clearly there is no debate. Nakajima stance is fine in my eyes also. Position players from Japan have only recently broke the barrier in the MLB with the three most notable being Ichiro, Hideki Matsui, and Kazuo Matsui. There have only been ten Japanese position players that have joined the MLB so far. Also, have you ever heard of Kevin Youkilis from the BoSox? check his stance and tell me its not ridiculous.

[nickelbackrocks16]

@TabascoOE Kazuo Matsui sucks. And yes, I know KY probably has the dumbest looking batting stance in MLB . Naming 1 guy from the MLB doesn't support your argument when the mass majority of Japanese players have odd batting stances, weird leg kicks, ect.

[TabascoOE]

@nickelbackrocks16 then how about, Tony Batista, Melvin Mora, Carlos Quentin, Denard Span, Prince Fielder, and Curtis Granderson. They had a list of them on the BleacherReport and guess what, Ichiro ranked 4th with the quirkiest batting stance. What are the mass majority? care to provide me with a list of Japanese players with weird batting stance? What it all comes down to is opinion. You think Ichiro doesn't have a weird stance and I think he does. There is no room for debate.

[nickelbackrocks16]

@TabascoOE And do I really need to make a list of Japanese players when you can look at the right side of your screen and see suggestions and click a random video of Japanese players hitting vs Darvish? Lots of videos on youtube to look at...

[mint090]

00:37

what kind of ball is that..?

[nickelbackrocks16]

@mint090 Did you not read title? They are all 2-seam fastballs.

[oldsidearmer]

He is throwing the ball off of the inside tip of his index finger and his thumb is probably under the index finger. If he pronated some on release he would have a power sinker.

[hcvideoproductions]

We need to see this guy in major league baseball!

我々は、メジャーリーグでこの男を参照してくださいする必要があ­ります！

[SaintDemure]

@hcvideoproductions He was scouted extensively by several MLB teams but apparently he remained firm on the fact he wanted to play in Japan.

[zinpachi]

ツーシームなんてレベルじゃねぇよ！カミソリシュートだよ！！Σ­(；ﾟДﾟ)

[Torres910Sneijder]

1:06

[julakiss]

I love major league baseball. but it disappointed me a lot at last WBC. its the league where all the best players come and play from all over the world. it really gotta be the best. I hate to see them lose. Darvish is one of the best pithcher Japan has to offer right now but no, don't mess with greg maddux yet. He is the legend.

[TENGMAN2]

逆に曲がるスライダー・・しかも上がったり下がったりするのね・­・

[ktak0841]

えげつない球だ・・・



[4gounet]

本当にシュートかな

投げる時の指の使い方がジャイロっぽく見えるけど

[nipponhamhiko]

この球があれば、ワンシームもジャイロカッターも要らないだろう

ただ本人は、「こんなにキレのいいツーシームはもう投げれない出­来過ぎ」と言っていたけど

[se000650]

高速シュート凄すぎる

[acc005214]

1:06!!!



[megumiwindows]

アスペクト比おかしくね？

[koukimatui]

普通じゃね　この球



[BlackMaSk5817]

@koukimatui 普通の球なら後藤があんなに体勢崩れるわけはない。

[KNpoorman]

the third swing shown is hillarious

[cullen17whitephenom]

anybody heard of a one finger fastball?? My coach told me about it but just showed how you grip it..anybody knows what it does?

[kensuke2001]

俺も少年野球でツーシームを投げてたけど、手元で急に変化する

からキャッチャーが捕れなくてね、参ったよ（苦笑）



[souseiseki0617]

これは打てないだろ・・・

[ks1234567899]

powerful pitch

[bigpapiNY]

mlb players will rock him

[hugoodin]

@bigpapiNY they don't rock him in the World Baseball Classic

[bananapantie3000]

@bigpapiNY yu darvish is 3rd best in the world, japan raped US in the "real" world series

[SimpleStuff31]

@bananapantie3000 best pitcher in the world?

greg maddog maddux, undisputable.

[wasabiwild]

@bigpapiNY oh yeah. japan beat the hell ouf of USA last time. first time you guys got lucky because you guys had mlb umps and Davidson!! two biggest shittiest blown calls and there's goes the dirtiest winner! oh and dont forget ALLSTAR cheaters A-roid, Clemens, Pettitte, Bonds, McGwire...powered almighty by STEROIDs!! what a joke.

[sougotwenty104]

この２シームが、ダルさんの言っていた、

完璧なボールか。

[iguacu777]

このツーシームを打てるバッターは今の日本には一人もいない。

[homosexugay]

a shuuto usually has more break than a running fastball.

[beroaki]

中島じゃなくても打てねー

[0575jfguhf]

この中の歌って何て歌ですか??

[daredayo100]

この高速シュートは平松さんを思い出させてくれる。

[shajou]

broke the bat xD

[wyk19941209]

COOL~

[daprezz56]

A gyro ball actually does not move it is straighter then a fastball budd.. but 'homosexuguy' is correct it is a shuuto.

[bass3193]

You can see it clearly on the last pitch.

[bass3193]

These are actually what the japs call the gyroball. Notice how it breaks just before the plate and goes in toward the batter.

[homosexugay]

@bass3193 This is NOT a gyroball. This pitch is called a shuuto, think of it as an hybrid between a two seamer and a reverse slider.

The gyroball is supposed to spin like a bullet. Have you ever seen a bullet curve? i don't think so. An ideal gyroball goes straight and doesn't lose much speed as it goes through the air compared to a four seamer.

[bass3193]

Go look at the report done on the gyroball. The "gyroball" varies depending on the axis it is spinning on. If you make it spin like a bullet,(or a spiraling football) it will spin like a bullet. If you make it spin on an axis that doesn't correspond to that of a bullet's axis, then it will break near the plate.

[bass3193]

/watch?v=lFvNWDKAxAs, if any errors persist, i blame the documentary.

[homosexugay]

@bass3193 The documentary isn't wrong about the fact that the break varies on the axis it spins un, but it omits a very important fact: this is what happens when you fail at throwing a gyroball.

Even the man who created the theory of the gyroball says it was supposed to go straight, but it's just very hard throw it perfectly.

Matsuzaka threw an imperfect one intending to throw a cutter. If he was able to throw a gyroball, control it's irregular break, he would be unhittable

[poshko41]

I thought that for a right handed pitcher, a gyroball is supposed to break in on the righties and away from the lefties.

[homosexugay]

@poshko41 That's the definition of a shuuto, which can be loosely described as a reverse slider, much like what americans call a screwball, except it doesn't screw your arm.

A gyroball spins like a bullet so it doesn't break at all, just like a thrown football. It's a fastball with screw-like spin instead of backspin and has a higher chance of breaking a bat since it has better penetration power and can overpower a bat more easily than a normal fastball.

[melloanthony]

so it's like a reverse cutter

[homosexugay]

Yeah pretty much, except it's a bit slower than an actual cutter, but that's the idea.

[deludedbaseball]

Darvish said he will not play in the MLB and that Japan needs to keep talent in NPB.

[iBlue69]

MLB NEEDS DARVISH.

BEST PITCHER!

[himerobine]

0:22 O.O sugoi naa

[0310suzuki]

投げる、ダルもすごいが、

捕る、鶴さんもうまい・・

[santoak47]

1:09 He took care of that invisble ghost!

[abc114114Dz]

大投手にはそれぞれ武器があるよね♪

和巳はフォーク

川上 カットボール

[kskm1101]

あの球はやばいだろーｗ

カミソリツーシームやな

[iBlue69]

Sadly enough, it's probably going to be the New York Yankee's that will get this god-like player.

[bandanataicho]

まぁこれは。ダルビッシュがツーシームと言えばツーシーム。シュ­ートと言えばシュートｗ

if this ball is two seam or shoot ball,thats up on Darvish himself lol

[Masih89]

1:10 fukking priceless xD

[GD31892]

1:10, enough said.

[himekamimio1]

すごい・・・・

なんてえげつない球だ・・・

打者的はホントかんべんしてほしい

[TheGoldenWater]

why yankee?

[aw940405]

trust me that is not two seam fastball it's name should be shoot ball .shu in japanese mean shoot also 魔球 just mean the ball can not be hit in easy way.

[lin520999]

I think it's not good to called 魔球!!!

it's more like a shuuto

[ghostfacetron]

damn, making hiroyuki nakajima look foolish.

[chelseafan1016]

that also looks more like a shuuto

[pleiotropicaction]

wang? oh that clueless taiwanese sucker with ERA 20.00? lincecum? he's only good at national league west division, which means he is good against minor leaguers.

[bdox15]

did you really just diss the cy young winner?

[pleiotropicaction]

that guy, lincecum, is a real thing. i was just joking. But wang is a real joke.

[Araujo4MVP]

あのとても危ないですね

[01234hh]

これを見てのとうりダルが本当の本気になったら打てるはずがない­。

[blahboom2]

man that 2nd hitter blows...swinging at that junk

[AntiFlag182]

he got fooled you dumb ass. a 2 seam fastball thrown by a right handed pitcher starts in the strike zone and cuts in on a right handed hitter

[builtstrong2lastlong]

not really, the movement on that ball is crazy, itll look like its a strike

[milesmd1313]

hahah fail.

[auw1026]

すげーシュート^^;

[PitchingWeapon]

thats how my two seamer breaks.

[texrea21]

i now

[hitokirii]

0:05 it says FOOL on bottom of screen... lol

[SSY90]

win

[orewakumasama]

Oh shoot, that must have been embarressing O_O he fell

[sijealou]

バッターにとっては力負けした感じがして屈辱だ

[PolyRetard]

That's a shuuto pitch = =

[HiLoPicoLo]

It has the same movement as a shuuto, but its a two-seam. Depending on how you throw it, it could break down or to the side.

[yoodarvish]

but it's not a traditional two seam that iwakuma throws. so i think its better to call it shuuto

[WobblyDock]

iwakuma is so good

[gleeeeeeeep]
