Watanabe submarine pitch in slow motion

[waisehell]

go to 0"27

[PillowPee]

nice sidearm really like it \../

[JGmartinezJr]

true submarine right here

[123459ization]

i respect the slow motion but was the 15 second pause in the middle of your wind-up necessary... fuckin asians

[JGmartinezJr]

@123459ization It sets off the batters timing, idiot.

[123459ization]

@JGmartinezJr if that would throw you off than you sir are the idiot

[JGmartinezJr]

@123459ization No, you're the idiot. It's part of the Japanese pitching culture. Know what you're talking about before you type any more bile, please.

[Tockwork]

hey yall i just gotta say submarine pitchers are fucking badass as hell. so unorthodox while at the same time cool

[Tockwork]

real cool

[4futureyankee4]

I throw submarine.,it rises but I don't think I throw faster than 70

[jc2y]

that is sick

[sportsgamesvideo21]

sub pitch so close to the ground, and sidewhinders.

[jeterlover03]

I don't know why people are always so focused on speed anyway. Movement is just as equally important, if not more. I'm a fastpitch pitcher and the submarine technique(minus the presentation) is simular to what we do. Cat Osterman is one of the best fastpitch pitchers in the world, and although she is VERY fast, she's not the fastest. She has more college and professional strikeouts than any other pitcher simply because he ball breaks like no other pitcher. Just something to think about.

[RayKinsella23]

@jeterlover03 i agree with you, i throw pretty hard, but am thinking about a sidearm angle to get more movement. been to a few mizzou baseball games and man do those pro scouts love the heat. i have a few videos of a guy who i went to school with who plays at mizzou, i heard he was reaching mid 90s in hs, but didnt do so well in college, switched to sidearm and is doing fantastic. he's got insane movement.

[jeterlover03]

@jeterlover03 I don't know if they have this pitch in baseball....but if a submarine pitcher were to throw the ball with a lot of backspin and kept their hand closer to their body they could probably throw a rise ball. Not sure...I would have to have a better understanding of how they release the ball....hmmmm

[MrBurtonfreak]

@jeterlover03 dude

u have to throw like 120 MPH to throw a rising fast ball... not a chance

[jeterlover03]

@MrBurtonfreak ....mmmm....maybe not with the submarine pitcher...like I said early...in fastpitch, in order to throw a rising ball you have to be able to throw around 58+ to generate enough torque for the ball to rise. I think it would be more a matter of slightly changing mechanics, grib, release, and ball spin to throw a rising ball, than speed. Obviously this is all hypothetical and speculatory.

[jeterlover03]

@MrBurtonfreak oops...I meant "grip"



[MrBurtonfreak]

@jeterlover03 yeah i guess submarine makes a lil difference but hes still gotta be pretty fast to get that much spin, or he could wreck his arm trying, i dont think the MLB's gunna see a rising fastball for a little while, haha

[jeterlover03]

@MrBurtonfreak haha....yes, I think the MLB will be able to continue without that pitch in its arsonal....LOL :)

[MrBurtonfreak]

@jeterlover03 and i feel bad for the first person to face it/ get hit with it

[tvasbinder]

thumbs up if you thought it said wanabe submarine pitch. lol

[dreggs6]

dude when he releases the ball his hand is almost on the ground thats rediculous

[michaelperez44]

i wish i could o that slow

[buttmunchies22]

its not impossible. im a college baseball player and i pitch from the submarine arm slot too. its all about concentration and focus. i sometimes scrape my knuckles and have bled a few times. but in the end, 2 K's an inning feels great!

[DemonXY2J]

thats what happens when you mix kung fu with baseball

[suzukiforever141]

im going to stick to side arm cause there no way i could do that

[astroboirap]

rubber arms lol bloody stretch armstrong.

[yankeesteelerfan4313]

pause it at 30 seconds its sooo close to the ground its almost frekin impossible

[Shoooooooo81]

shit his knuckles have to bleed the speed he's throwing a pitch

[willis636]

thats impressive

[FlyBikes089]

cool

[PJPak721]

this guy pitches really slow though

[FosckoDmaw]

@PJPak721 He does pitch slow. but ask anyother big batter. They'd rather hit off a 95mph pitcher then a skilled sidearm/submarine pitcher any day. its all about deception

[nuclearRabbit123]

@PJPak721 so?

[19goalkeeper]

@PJPak721 speed's role is diminished if you pitch effectively though

[Poopiusthewoopius]

@PJPak721 its in slomo lol

[gregarwolf]

he does touch the ground. I've been to a lot of games where he pitches, and you cant tell where the ball is because of the rosin bag, so from now on when he pitches, they have to move the rosin bag on the other side of the mound

[muffyFESTIFIED]

it looks like hes touching the ground while hes pitching

[icefall1793]

@muffyFESTIFIED he is, if you look closely when his hand in at the bottom you can see some dust

[CtrlZ90]

sandscraper

[bluebonnet90]

that knee.

[tigers2080]

pause between about :30 and :31 to see what I'm talking about

[enkei555]

Looks painful...

[tigers2080]

not really.. he has a really good arm slot for a submarine pitcher. In relation to his upper body, he is basically throwing from 3 quarters so he wont hurt his elbow or shoulder as if he threw sidearm.
