@therealmimo Youre right I was mistaken. I was also tanked when I wrote that comment, so do please forgive the inaccuracy. Im sorry for the stress this has clearly caused you and I hope you are well soon.
@C4ptKrunch No your embarrassing yourself, not me. Funny how you say im 11 but your user name is C4ptKrunch? LMFAO replacing words with numbers really shows your maturity level... Anyways its been fun talking to such a retard, but im afraid your retardation may rub off on me so... Farewell retard. One day when you reach a intellectual level high enough to reaach my standards i may reconsider having an intelligent conversation with you. Until then... Graduate elementary school...
@Apophlc Wow i can't believe you wrote that much and still managed to give off a terrible insult. Replacing "WORDS" with numbers? sorry I never knew "A" (I used quotes so you understand) was a word, also using a 4 instead of an a because "CaptKrunch" was already taken really is not evidence of immaturity, what is immature is that you actually care about a simple username. I also really hope i can "REAACH" you're intellectual standards. At least i can see the red line under misspelled "WORDS".
I think immaturity is when someone can't give up and be the better man in an argument. Incessant remarking is a sign of weakness, which goes to show what kind of person you are.
Also, you mock Apophic's intelligence, yet you seem to lack the ability to form even the simplest of sentences. The most astonishing example is how you replaced "your" with "you're", as in, "you are". They're two different words.
You shut the fuck up. There was only one rec team for my park we had to play different parks. Our RECREATION team plays usssa on weekends and we're a AAA team. And a couple years ago we went to the PONY world series. Oh yeah i forgot, i also played on a major team during fall ball this year. And if you dont believe me, look up Lafayette Cajuns as a triple A team in louisiana. We kick fucking ass in rec and u trip. i know competition.
@grandswagger1 u were on a rec team and coulda played utrip?(usssa) ha ok so y didn't you move to a competitive league where you coulda played teams tht where better than you and get better. The reason you said you would hall ass is cause you prolly beat all the rec teams. Impressive...
quit hating on the kid. its pretty decent. you can tell nobody taught him the correct form though. and quit tryin to be some hardasses acting like yall couldve blasted that ball. fuck off, he probably plays rec ball, and maybe baseball isnt even his thing. and im not saying there's anything wrong with rec because i played rec and my team couldve hauled ass against a usssa team or a little league team. if you think you're good, post a video of it and comment back to me, i wanna see yall.
@ubernate860 hahahaha yeah i was playing 1st base this game and i hit a homerun his knuckle ball sucks the kid that was batting the whole time was out 9 hitter
Why is it that the people who call other people "idiots" are usually the ones with the worst grammar and least developed arguments? Maybe it has something to do with intellectual insecurity...hm..
@ubernate860 the second kid is bigger than the first, the third is fuckin black and the fourth has a different stance and bat than the other 3. you and the 22 people that liked your comment need to get their eyes checked
Even for a 13 year old this is a terrible pitch. The hitters are worse though, because you TOTALLY sell the fact that you're throwing a knuckle ball by having such a completely different leg kick than when you're throwing your fastball. Terrible.
Most of the pitches looked pretty high in the zone. Definitely not where you want to be throwing a slow breaking ball like that consistently. However, a pitch like this and good fastball location, even if your fastball is average velocity can drive batters crazy. However, with the location of some of those breaking balls, they should be getting crushed. Good luck developing the pitch!
I expect to see a sick knuckleball when I clicked on this video, what I saw was some lob pitch that didn't get thrown for a strike, and for some reason didn't get deposited into the seats.
I throw knuckleballs like crazy in my men's league and once the batter thinks its coming.... i throw fastball ( not so fast anymore, maybe 75mph), and its another K for me.
Looks good for a 13 year old. When you get older you need to try to put more velocity on it. The floaters are okay for lower level batters but you gotta start throwing it harder before you really get that shaking and dancing movement on it. It's tough to see knuckleball's movements on a camera, especially if it's not an HD camera. Judging by what the batters are doing with it your doin a good job though. Don't neglect your fastball though, you're still very young and need to develop armstrength.
yeah i just want to know the name of the song. a 13 year old knucle ball, should be dropping later. should come out flat like a fast ball, "wobble in the air" and sink a metre before the plate.
no offence but any "decent" batter would recognize this pitch and tee up on it, u would never see that ball again, seriously u throw slower than BP and i throw faster left handed than that garbage knuckleball. thats more like a ephus lol.
for real, that's like a slow pitch coming in. I'd hit that pitch to next week! the point of a kncukle ball is to throw it hard so that the ball creates enough wind with the seems to actually move. these pitches are coming slow with little to no movement other than the arc from moving so slow
@xKJxJIKLER i dont think you get a knuckle ball is not supposed to blow people away. it is the most deceiving pitch you'll ever see. i know cause ive had to catch some pretty good knuck pitchers. im sure this kid's is not stellar , but its not fair to say it sucks because you cant see the rotation
@mothahen123 the slower you throw the knuck the less it moves, thats all im saying, now if u can add... add this. slow pitch + no movement knuck = what? im guessing bombs 400 YARDS not feet, far. dont comment if you dont know what you talking about.
@xKJxJIKLER ur just flat out wrong. look at how hard tim wakefield throws his pitches. obviously this kid isnt throwing very hard, because hes 13. but i do know that the pitch is moving with a little more force than just gravity
@mothahen123 once again you need to speak before u talk. tim wakefields knuck is almost as fast as his fastball. thats all him saying, im saying that to be an effective knuck throw it just like you would throw a fastball, then when u are good at that u will tear up batters. i have a question for u... do u even play baseball???
@xKJxJIKLER hmmm i need to speak before i talk?? anyways, ya thats because tim wakefield's fastball is slow as shit. his knuckle ball is rally slow too, but it has sharp brake making it a great pitch. ya i still play baseball. u remind me of a guy who wants to prove to people he's better than he is so he talks smack about 13 year olds on youtube
@xKJxJIKLER I remember my freshman year of high school, I was first in line up, first game, first pitch was a knuckle ball no spin but no movement... I took the ball on a 400ft journy lol, at this level a knuckleball is useless, you have to know how to put movement on it without any spin.
@xAddictedGamer not quite that slow bro, tim wakefield-70's get it right bro, and 70 is fast enough for the ball to graze the wind and move... still with no spin though... get it right before u hate
actually its not horrible if it lands high in the zone, tim wakefiled the only knuckleballer out thea right now lands almost every single knuckleball high in the strike zone.. keep working at it!
100 percent correct. You are elevating it too much. Needs to start around the zone and drop out. If you start it up in the zone it will typically drop into the zone and be crushed. Good for you though going out there and working on it, only way we pitchers can figure out what works. If you have a solid fastball and follow up (or vice versa) with that knuck you will dominate.
dude you hold the ball in yourr balm with your hand in a almost fist. and when you release you flick your fingers and you want to release earlier than normal
@mileyrocks69 Throwing a knuckleball may seem simple, however it is not. I can say, from experience, that it takes YEARS of practice to get it to the strike-zone consistently, and without spin.
How do you hold it?
Most knucklers are thrown from the fingerstips (well, atleast how I learned it) and fingernails, not the knuckles.
The most key part is: push off with your fingers as you release the ball. THAT has to be perfectly timed, and done to throw a knuckler for strikes.
