pitching mechanics of tim lincecum and joshua fields (slow)

[SNOWBOARD3KING]

its the long hair

[donervin1]

Hey,

Watchandbeamused after the hips have started through their weight shift just the split second prior to the peak of the leg lift the ball needs to come out of the glove from down like Lincecum or come out of the glove a little lower than waist high, then come down, back around and up with no hesitation or pausing like Lincecum does, the only difference is he holds it down below his waist to start.

Pointing the ball back to 2nd. is taboo.kills rhythm

@donervin1 thanx for the response, my friend who throws mid 80's said to go straight down and up because putting your hand back leads to arm lag

[MrBlackwingman100]

idk y people think his mechanics are crap. they are some of the best in the league thats y he is as good as he is.

[Slapshot934]

And cue the most over-played song on YouTube!

[TheLoopFroots]

[bodybabe10]

[rawu10000]

damn i hate this damn song, everything else is cool though

[allsports249]

thumbs up if you looked up tim lincecum because of #1000

[lipsiea3]

His arm loox like a sling shot when he throws! AMAZING! he inspires me because im short and i still throw the hardest on my team. He keeps me goin (along with GOD.)

[watchandbamused]

@azatecas do you get more velocity putting your arm down and then up like lincecums? or out towards second base?

[azatecas]

@watchandbamused it depends how much hip rotation you have to whip your body forward.

[watchandbamused]

@azatecas well yeah i know that you have to use your hips to whip your body forward, but these two pitchers both use their hips to whip their bodies forward but have to entirely different arm motions. which arm motion would you suggest lincecums' or fields'?

[aj41794]

@azatecas along with that when you bring your arm straight down you have more length when you are pitching typically length=power, you don't really want to cut yourself short i mean i do it i just can't seem to throw a strike without doing it

[TheJbr777]

@azatecas thats why lincecum pulls his leg back behind his glutious maximous. so that when he pushes forward he gets faster rotation on almost anything

[marshalloo22]

@watchandbamused i like the saying thumb to thigh ball to sky

[watchandbamused]

@marshalloo22 what would that look like? is that what tim lincecum does?

[marshalloo22]

@watchandbamused He might..Its just a circle from your glove strait down and have the thumb pass your thigh then when you bring the arm back turn it to sky..Cooper the wight sox pitching coach teaches that on youtube..its helped some kids i coach with who play outfield to get a nice arm velo going

[watchandbamused]

@marshalloo22 thanx, i looked up the video and found it.....it shoul really help

[JoshuaPaulHollenbeck]

@watchandbamused its all in the full body roll , not just the arm , energy starts with his legs then transfers to upper body then finally released through his arm

[watchandbamused]

@JoshuaPaulHollenbeck yes but you still have to do somethng with your arm, and idk wether to put it back towards second base or strait down and up like lincecums

[MsDavid199518]

thanx...

[mrgiantsfan4life]

he has great speed of his form

[7439tjm]

tim has such a long stride

[drexdabro]

he is good

[bloodvein3]

im a cubs fan but i love the way this guy pitches, its fun to watch. im a catcher/pitcher myself and i've tried to pitch the way he does and it hurts my shoulder after awhile. maybe its because im not used to pitching like that :\

[azatecas]

@bloodvein3 i am not a giants fan but i still like his pitching, he almost had a no hitter against the rockies yesterday.

[bloodvein3]

@azatecas yea, i saw that. that sucks.

[Coastergeekperson04]

@bloodvein3 I strain the muscle on my back that is underneath my right ribs. I find myself leaning incredibly far back, but so does Lincecum. Am I doing something wrong?

[bloodvein3]

@Coastergeekperson04 probably throwing too hard would be my guess.

[h0licede]

@0896sexy paralyzer by finger eleven

[tellthetruthg]

Given all the great mechanics don;t loose sight of the fact he has unbelievable concentration . We know his plant of choice and it doesn't seem to bother him.

I bet on his way home to Seattle as he drives through Humboldt he makes a stop or 3

[irishbaseballmaniac]

that guy had no clothes

[irishbaseballmaniac]

that guy had no clothes

[0896sexy]

what the title of this song?

[unlvrebelx]

Lincecum's mechanics are okay.....but the Silver Surfer's mechanics at :25 are just ridiculous!

[seattlehawkins]

@drachan333 GOOK!

[xtremeshrtstp1]

this is a good vid i like the comparisons

[bondurango]

This is like comparing an apple to an orange.

[lyssword3]

by the way, the skeleton mechanics are not lincecum's mechanics

[Blo2dline]

great reference video!!!! (except for the music >_>)

[rb2rockstar2003]

I have a better name than the freak it is Big Time Timmy Jim.

[mrodriguez3599]

LET TIMMY SMOKE!

[wongleebruce]

It's a freak post season show and Timmy started it off with 14 straight k's if they go onto win we'll see what happens against Philly

[ehukai26]

@wongleebruce I've been a Giants fan my whole life and this kid is one of the best things that has ever happened to our team!

[Partyman897]

nice video but why the hell is this song used so damn much on youtube? Finger eleven is a poser band and cant make music anymore so they did a remake and cashed in on a shitty song. hahha sorry had to rant, but my pitch style is based of TL. Love this guy. He's got a great explosive delivery and hides the ball well.

[rynox77]

lincecum is ridiculous

[WTFxKeNdRiCk]

haha my dad taught me to pitch that way :D he used to pitch like that in high school

[smvgamer2395]

thats so sick how they have the sensored image and it shows the break on the ball

[himynameisjustind]

He's so good. It looks so painful.

[Cheech234566]

lol im seriously annoyed by this song soooooo much now. its so over played on youtube

[azatecas]

@Cheech234566 i don't blame you even i get annoyed by this song but it makes the video more actiony

[ChrisFlipsAlot]

@azatecas NO jsut dont use it. Its fucking horrible.

[azatecas]

@ChrisFlipsAlot i dont get what you are saying

[ChrisFlipsAlot]

@azatecas Im saying that this song fucking sucks no matter what!!!!

[azatecas]

@ChrisFlipsAlot i agree i never liked it but that is what i got

[ThinkDodger]

@Cheech234566 At least its not Justin Beiber.

[anndizzle13]

@Cheech234566 I agree with you..the song sucks. almost bad as sound system and bodies.

[chickloverforever]

@Cheech234566 mute button works well

[flawlesssquirrel]

@Cheech234566 I just opened another window of youtube and turned on a different song then muted this one :P

[zacharyninja1]

@Cheech234566 would u like 009 Sound System DreamScape better? lol

[djusbox]

he would be better if he pushed off the rubber right away and advanced toward home right away instead of pausing at the top of his leg lift

[MrSixFive]

@djusbox - I'm sorry, but unless you've got 2 Cy Young awards AND A WORLD SERIES RING...I don't think your opinion on what Lincecum should or shouldn't do really counts...just saying is all! :-)

[djusbox]

@MrSixFive until u even know what ur talking about u shouldnt be telling anybody anything. i obviously wouldnt have said anything if he was still as good as he was when he won the 2 Cy Young awards which he clearly isnt. and i posted this long before the ws ring

[MrSixFive]

@djusbox - yeah..whatever dude...you may know more about pitching mechanics then I do, don't disagree there, but seeing as no one else who has even MORE KNOWLEDGE THEN YOU, such as most of the former big-leaguers who call games these days, have never mentioned his 'mechanics', you can take your "until you know what you're talking about' attitude and shove it up your...I'll let your imagination take over here!

[djusbox]

@MrSixFive you still dont know what youre talkng about.. nobody said anything about his mechanics before because he was throwing upper 90's. nor would i have if it hadnt dropped significantly. lots of poeple have said that his mechanics changed. lincecum himself said his mechanics changed, which accounts for his loss in velocity. why would i have said anything about what would help him throw harder if he was throwing hard???

[Thatsrightpwnt]

Horrible quality

[Ch33ky360]

tim lincecum is a beast

[Shaded07]

SupportTheTakeover.... I know at your age is great and all to think bout your velocity... But, if I were your father, I'd be teaching you proper mechanics. Velocity is great and required in more senior transitions in baseball... Right now, your arm has quite fully developed, so throwing as hard as you can is NOT a good idea, especially considering your arm hasn't fully developed.

--Rob USMC

[ThePigscanfly]

@Shaded07 ehhh, yeah i suppose... i just turned 14 and i pitched for east cobb, and threw around 78 last week. and all ive done my whole baseball career, is thrown as hard as i could. but if you do end up not doing that, you should really consider lots and lots of long toss.

[iThrowHeat]

cc sabathia is beeter

[KojiraSnake]

@iThrowHeat sabathia better than lincecum? what a joke......

[ehukai26]

@iThrowHeat I'll grant you that, CC Sabathia is beeter, but he definitely is not better.

[SupportTheTakeover]

i'm 12 and threw 48-49 mph, and if I REALLY tried i'd throw around 50-51. now i throw faster than before, i just know it. probobly 55-59mph. thank you. thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. you rock dude

[cutegirl00179]

I can't wait for the 2010 season to begin.

[tonester54]
