Baseball Pitching : How to Throw a Slider

[MrShakbo]

Wow there are a lot of nuances behind throwing some of these different pitches.

[awr211]

thanks man, im a young pitcher and your vids really help

[CrabKiller66]

This vid is helpful

[1yoetere1]

this really did help me alot

[Notatryhard21]

@blueskater3 I'm sure with that many pitches, their all not mastered. I would worry more about focusing on a few pitches that you can grow well, rather than its knowing how to throw 8 different pitches.

[Edubb111111]

Great tips

[bwallstars44]

u are amazing u hav helped me on my pitching sooooooo much thanks

[StuntxLocox]

Thanks man

[TheCrazydaily]

thank you so much.i love these pitches.this guy is awesome

[andros1984]

This guy should emphasize the pressure of the middle finger tip pushing through the outside of the ball. Maintaining pressure at the finger tip can make a big difference.

[WhAtZCrAcKiNN]

He just threw a slider right down to the bottom corner for a strike, he knows what he is doing ...

[Beniscool950]

my slider dominates

[blueskater3]

I can throw a 4seam 2seam cutter a ok curve a changeup a sinker. I'm left handed so I wanna find someone who can teach me how to throw the big units slider ;)

[hapajin]

Oh its expertvillage. these guys are idiots. Doesn't matter if he knows his stuff. the rest of the guys these people hired usually don't.

[vancouvercanucknut93]

@therappingmaniacer11 Who gives a fuck! Atleast he has the talent that you don't have to make the Majors...unless there was a National Porn Watching League, then you'd be a LEGEND bud, atleast he has talent bitch!

[kirv22]

this guys cool! thank u for sharing ur knowledge!!!

[sandiegochargers89]

@therappingmaniacer11 and what was your ERA in the major league may i ask?

[TopTenCrew]

@ConfusedIslander

"Wasn't the greatest"

Over a 4 is considered BAD

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[mfkg410]

he's good



[rakitipakiti]

that could have been a fastball for all i know. he should chang the camera angle so you see the ball break.

[jayc2390]

This guy was pretty good for 3 seasons, then he went downhill...

[lovercutefrog]

i`m 8 and i`m throwing 110-115

[ProTuner06]

@lovercutefrog Yeah!! Okay buddy!!

Please go back to school and come back when your balls have dropped. Even then, you still wont even be throwing anywhere near that.

Bye kid.

[lovercutefrog]

@ProTuner06 that was my dad who is 45 and trying to act cool. Im actually 18 and a girl and i need to get my dad OFF my youtube.

[andyhasel1998]

@lovercutefrog yah 11.0 mph and 11.5 mph

[bestwaffleg]

@lovercutefrog Lol your arm would fall off seriously.

[lovercutefrog]

@bestwaffleg that was my dad who is 45 and trying to act cool. Im actually 18 and a girl and i need to get my dad OFF my youtube.

[JLIV461]

Losers "in front of" a computer screen. When insulting people you should strive not to reveal how stupid you are.

[ProTuner06]

@JLIV461 You must be one of those losers he was talking about.

Also, know one likes a Grammar Nazi.

[jeffreyhrz]

he seems pretty young. did he retire?

[Coastergeekperson04]

@jeffreyhrz He was probably sent back down to the minors. A lot of people can have incredibly long professional careers yet only get a few big league years in.

[Ejhekk33]

I can throw the 4-seamer, circle-change, curve, 12-6 curve, slider, and I can KIND OF throw a knuckler.

[SwiifTAssAsSIN1]

@Ejhekk33 and i dont care

[mimio67]

@Ejhekk33 Good job im a scout and im trusting you on what you say you can throw. call me at 905- no one gives a fuck...

[Ejhekk33]

@mimio67 Sorry.

[xXKillSh0TzZXx]

thank you for this vid I now rape in my league



[kittynjj1]

Cool video but I couldn't really c how to hold it up close! It still helped

[bloodvein3]

so now i know how to pitch: 4 seam, 2 seam, cutter, slider, curveball, knuckle-curve, and Changeup :P

[TheBombers8]

who doens't now how to throw a slider

[innazone44]

@TheBombers8 obviously you, you faggot why else would you be watching the fucking video....dipshit

[bestwaffleg]

Listen people he was an MLB pitcher for 5 years I think he knows a lot more than you losers behind a computer screen.

[wickedninja8599]

@bestwaffleg Agreed and well said!

[bestwaffleg]

@wickedninja8599 Thanks I mean its very annoying seeing people saying they know more than an MLB pitcher and all the coaches that taught him.

[wickedninja8599]

@bestwaffleg Yeah, everyone on the internet is a critic, even if they know nothing about what they are talking bad about. I mean it is cool to get a real MLB pitcher to teach how to throw even if he isn't Roy Halladay or CC Sabathia, at least he is/was a real MLB Pitcher and knows what he is talking about.

[bestwaffleg]

@wickedninja8599 Yeah exactly they act like they know more than the Reds pitching coaches who have been training pitchers for years.

[TopTenCrew]

@bestwaffleg

Yeah, with an ERA above 7!

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[TheACE377]

@bestwaffleg Lol bro even so you are a loser behind a computer screen, and btw this dude had like a 7 era career.. look it up.

[bestwaffleg]

@TheACE377 Funny thing is he had a better era than you did at least he made it to the MLB your just some loser behind a screen talking shit because you have no idea how hard it is to pitch to somebody that can hit a ball 400 feet out of a ball park he made it to the MLB you never will and, I am sure if you said that to his face you would get the shit beat out of you.

[TheACE377]

@bestwaffleg Listen fag i just said YOUR the loser behind the computer screen, so suck it and this guy could be the worst pitcher ever , yes i have the balls to admit he is better than me because i am a respectable person, unlike you u terd. ask urself can u even throw a ball?

[bestwaffleg]

@TheACE377 He isn't the worst pitcher ever because think of the people who never make it out of single A fuck tard I can throw a ball I am on the top of my pitching rotation in my high school and I can throw a slider two seam 4 seam 12-6 curve splitter and a cutter so kindly suck my dick.

[TheACE377]

@bestwaffleg I am going to tell you one more time asshole for all i know and im prob RIGHT you dont diss people okay? for all i care you are a 400 pound 50 yr old virgin kay? and dont give me the whole suck my dick because thats gay shit kay? YOUR GAY this guy is one of the WORST IN THE GAME

[bestwaffleg]

@TheACE377 You mad? Also I could care less what you think k? Oh by the way you are an idiot because he retired he is no longer in the game he wasn't that best but he wasn't one of the worst also you do realize gay is still defined as happy correct? If you mean homosexual you could have kindly just said no instead of being a homophobe.

[TheACE377]

@bestwaffleg BRO I DONT NEED TO TAKE SHIT FROM STUCK UP ASSHOLES LIKE YOU SUCK MY FAT BLACK ASS DICK YOU PIECE OF SHIT

[bestwaffleg]

@TheACE377 This conversation is over because you are obviously an immature little kid goodbye :).

[bestwaffleg]

@TheACE377 Oh and hey he finished with a 4.41 lifetime idiot.

[TheACE377]

@bestwaffleg Dont know if you heard. but ITS CALLED AN EXAGGERATION YOU PIECE OF SHIT

[bestwaffleg]

@TheACE377 I have never heard an exaggeration about era you nerd.

[bestwaffleg]

@TheACE377 Also its not since you fought tooth and nail saying he finished with a 7.00 era and you have anger issues along with problems with your caps lock button.

[TheACE377]

@bestwaffleg again faggot its an exaggeration im streching the truth 2 make u understand did u dflunk langauage arts faggt?

[TheACE377]

@bestwaffleg Why was the caps lock button invented then? prob to get across points that are crucial and to exaggerate, or is that just wat u see everyday cuz u do?



[bestwaffleg]

@TheACE377 You obviously need spelling lessons also.

[theballer04]

@bestwaffleg He would have made it a lot longer than 5 years if he actually knew how to throw a slider.

[bestwaffleg]

@theballer04 You do realize a lot of pitchers don't throw sliders right?

[ChubbyKola]

@bestwaffleg the fat ass security guard at my school played for the mets double A

[bestwaffleg]

@ChubbyKola So? The mets are terrible and theres tons of people that never come close to the majors its a hard road to the majors tell him I said I have a lot of respect for him.

[ChubbyKola]

@bestwaffleg LOOOOOL go find him at nigria falls casio he gets like 6 gran a night

[bestwaffleg]

@ChubbyKola Cool I wasn't being a dick I was serious the mets are last in their division its hard to get to the majors and I actually wanted you to say I have a lot of respect for him.

[marqey14]

hey im 21 and i throw 92-95 haha

[ydarb1301]

i dought u could throw 83mph. wut a liar

[ydarb1301]

[Stuberson]

This guys knows what hes saying. Not

[Stuberson]

[adsfhkjl1324]

Respond to this video... That;s BS

[alan53222]

dont use this try to find the steve carlton slider how to

[benvojtech]

i've only pitched 12 innings in my life, but i have 15k. I am only throwing 4fb and 2fb. If I started throwing sliders and curves , I could strike out a lot of batters. I'm only 14, and i throw about 60-65mph.

[xRedSkittlex]

@benvojtech im 13 and im throwing 73-75

[NappaThePCC]

@benvojtech You must feel accomplished.

[xxstuwie2121xxx]

Im a lefty I hold a different grip almost like a knuckle curve but not quite. Has alot sharper break and can throw it 3 different speeds and releases and get three different breaks.

[Ctharms]

i have a great slider and im 13. I use the same grip and everything (the second grip he showed) and after this video, it clarified a lot so now its a little bit better. Thanks.

[inuro100]

13 years being a pro. i think this guy knows what he's talking about :D

[inuro100]

what i wanna know is where that place is so i can go train there :D

[TheMichiganman7]

@inuro100 that is showtime sports academy. its in tennessee

[colecat13]

cant see the ball curve 

[battleharden145]

The more you know.

[edbarber58]

i like alll your vids u explain it so ppl can understand how to trow a change a curve and a slider

[48Astros]

This guy helps me

[zachfresh]

THANKS YOU!

[MegaBostonredsox]

thx so much 4 this... but what is a good age to throw a slider... im 12 and almost 13... am i to young and should wait a couple more years or am i good to jump into this new pitch? thx for the video.

[jphil31892]

@MegaBostonredsox You can throw it just don't overthrow it. Because you are young you are more likely to get an elbow or a shoulder injury. Just don't push yourself beyond your limits and hurt yourself.

[Duke30303030]

you cant see the movement cause the camera is at a terrible angle

[centerpeace57]

STRIKE THREE!!!!

[XxRnMproductionsxX]

hahaha hold down 6

[XxRnMproductionsxX]

if u hold down 1 he sound like hes being electricuted

[clayfreek]

press 5 and listen close, it sounds like he says last fall you went

[x3u93n3x]

he's stuttering because he knew that this video was going to be viewed by over 630,000 people... unlike your stupid video that gets 20 views.

[MegaPIGinaWIG]

@CTodd37 Why you mad?

[ladygagalove348]

@Narranthus america is the greatest country of all time!

[playshockey14]

all i heard was bla bla bla slider

[ReggaesRockers]

keep pressing 0:26

[MegaPIGinaWIG]

Great thank you I've one of the nastiest break now...

[CTodd37]

@MegaPIGinaWIG do you? thats pretty cool faggot

[hacker12366]

@mstreminski  ok

[shaneturk17]

I took your advice and tried it and i have to say it did work for me. Thanks a lot

[SuperxKoala]

great tutorial and all the people makin fun of him i hope that happens to u i front of all ur elders

[Poopiusthewoopius]

i bet he doesnt stutter when hes.......with his gurl

[marshalloo22]

I learned the exact slider in AA.a real slider like this should only be 5-6 mph slower than FB and only break about 8in or so..almost a cutter..u want hitter to think its a fb until they tart to swing

[marshalloo22]

@theSKATINGbananas yeah the way he taught it is perfect..i use the first grip..play catch with it and when u throw it right u will see a little dot on back of the ball.throw about 10 at the end every time u throw

[Paranoia0204]

this video is better if you video this in front of the strike box thingy...

[RealMedia95]

good video but i wish theyd change the camera angle so u could see wat the pitch should look like

[jagvocate]

what a great vid. Wish I had these when I was a kid!

[superjayzees1]

if this guy stutters than im a monkey

[Bowenarro111]

thanks this video really helped.

[BboyZboy101]

@ProductionsThatFSU at least he has a life

[BboyZboy101]

@ProductionsThatFSU if u dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all. at least he can play baseball and he doesnt sit in front of a computer all day and make fun the way people speak. who the heck cares how he speaks?! are you that judgemental?! why dont you look at your own faults?

[dacostaiscool777]

thanks! im in little league i was already the fastests pitcher they call me "hammer" but i was unhittble thanks to all your pitching advises thanks!

[ajlepisto]

I bet you guys laughin would do more than stutter if he brought that baby in at your head.

[hljohnson4]

woww



[pura4vida]

well explained!

[jackdowney1]

hahahahaha, did everyone here him s ss studder, haha, its ok though jkjkjk

[GhostRider527]

@jackdowney1 fuck you

[popsnacks2]

i woulda stuttered.... i stutter a lot. seriously

[bettudont]

I HATE FINGERS

[bob77218]

nice slider

[trupp96]

i never caught any stutters...wtf

[bob77218]

@trupp96 same

[XVipaSnipa]

When you pitch in the major leagues and can strike out major league hitters on a daily basis, then you can make fun of him. Until then, I suggest you shut up or you'll look like an idiot.

[cdcruce]

Anyone who says he stutters has no idea what a stutter really is. Look up videos about stuttering, and you'll find this guy does not fall into that category.

[Brewer1521]

I wouldn't make fun of this guy he's made millions of dollars pitching in the mlb.

[mcnally2554]

thats true who cares if he stuttures get over it doushbags

[AnubisJudge]

Nice , thank you! 

[ktsx2007]

Ever heard of nobody is perfect? DOUCHBAGS.

[Pasc9]

this is a solid pitch when you learn to throw it correctly.. I'd fire a fastball or two, then a change up, and chances are the batter would think your next pitch would be a fastball. When he sees this, he will be completely stumped.

[damig3t]

was this in san ramon?

[callumafcoulio]

i wish they could do a different angle and do the pitch in slo mo

[JimmieJohnson05]

Very good thanks:)

[lobster272]

I see nothing wrong with the way he talks.

[NovaGas123]

thanks dude i want to get back at the kid for striking me out with that pitch :)

[SkeezleGaming]

you guys are dicks, vwow grow up

[FaintAura]

Wow, he hardly even stuttered. He made this video to show us how to throw a pitch, not how to properly enunciate your words.

[Silvertime10]

He probably only stuttered because he was nervous, like anybody else.

[interactivevideos10]

oh no its EXPERTVILLAGE

[swingstrengthener7]

swingstrengthener. com helps your pitching velocity also

[Narranthus]

Wow so he stutters what is your guys problem this is why america sucks we cant go more than 1 week without making fun of someone just because they arent the same as us. This guy is taking his time to tell us how to throw this pitch wasting his time to show people how to throw it right and you guys sit behind your computer screen making fun of him for it... get a life faggots

[lilCaucasian]

@Narranthus hahahaha take a chill pill

[up27a]

@Narranthus also knowing hes a pro at this, those trolls just have no purpose in life... at least hes trying to show you people how to do it... i actually learned how to do this from this vid...

[TarHeelTide18]

@Narranthus true dat

[1Robertp1]

@Narranthus Youre fffucking GGGAY

[SuperxKoala]

@Narranthus im with u on that one

[ProductionsThatFSU]

mmmmmmmmyyy my chil-chi0chid CHILDREN wo-wo-won-WON'T stutter. does stuttering also mean you have a form of mental retardation? it sure sounds like it.

[harleybarley100]

woooo 300th person to like this....... i accomplished something in my life

[lilCaucasian]

@harleybarley100  i just ROFLed

[IareViZioNz]

@rasheed10012 prob because you throw 25 mph lol

[MASON7497]

@IareViZioNz hahaha

[LaurenRoxUrSoxx]

@ProductionsThatFSU he's just trying to help young pitchers out give him a break

[258legolas]

@ProductionsThatFSU who cares if he stutters i stutter and i am in speach u just have to get past it

[ProductionsThatFSU]

@258legolas no, people like you should be lynched.

[LaurenRoxUrSoxx]

@ProductionsThatFSU whats wrong with you

[258legolas]

@ProductionsThatFSU so u think just because we stutter she should be lynched. wow u are a egotisital A hole and i hope ur childen will stutter

[YovilleGAMER]

34 people cant throw a slider

[WastedBullets99]

@YovilleGAMER no 34 people think they know how to throw the slider better than a pro!

[dirtberry]

Ouch Don, you just taught youth players how to throw the elbow destructive supinated Slider. It would be better if you taught them the safe pronated Slider like in the Roger Clemens Myth busters video.

[ruger2213]

When John did these takes, it was last minute and single takes only... Nothing professional with no script if you will... John has always made it a point to help out upcoming youth with improving their abilities to reach their goal of MLB.. He too had a dream and captured that dream right out of High School... I've known John all our lives, he's a great guy and one helluva pitcher... Too bad he injured his arm young...

[DaddylllJrocklllMOJO]

Same as me collinnlee1996 I do mine different also

[laxlucas12]

baseball is pretty much just gay sex if you think about it

[jabel94]

@laxlucas12 why are you watching this video retard

[collinlee1996]

I throw my slider like a curve ball u don't really even need ur fingers places like he shows here u can have it like a fastball you just gotta break at a different time

[lonnier76]

When i see you guys in the mlb like he was

then u can talk about him stuttering

[nutzw1]

Amerifags are so stupid that they need tutorials for throwing a ball.

[BLong114]

@nutzw1 Alright Romainifag, let's see you pitch against an American baseball player. You would eat your words after the first pitch. Baseball is the hardest sport in the world to play.

[videogamerforlife1]

@nutzw1 i would love to see you pitch against people in mlb without people teaching you how to pitch. and if you think this tutorial is stupid why are you watching it then.

[ToXicDiizzy]

LOL. All these haters hating on his stutter when he has millions of dollars. Worthless.

[spreazy1]

Wow you guys are sick. Who picks on something that he was probably born with, he can't help it and if he could don't you think he would

? You better pray for your children because karma's a bitch.

[TheJake0218]

thia guy is a ...STUTTERING STANLEY>>>>STUTTERING STANLEY

[Tunathefishy]

that was sickk. i saw it sink at this angle..
