MF's baseball pitching video

This pitcher learned this unique injury free pitching motion from former Cy Young award winner Dr. Mike Marshall. This video is from the summer of 2007. Although this pitcher had enough movement to fool these batters, he was not fully ready with all of his pitches. He has now been in training this off season and will compete again soon. More video to come...

How many pitchers residing from Mike's system have played any type of professional baseball?

@Aaerios

I don't know an exact number but probably around 5 that directly went and played.

[pronate22]

But this does not include the guys that were already in professional baseball that he helped rehab.

this video is a joke.  as someone mentioned down at the bottom, any pitcher gets a couple strikeouts and good pitches during the season and as long as you video tape every game u can make a cute little video like this. and im sure you're going to reply, why don't i upload my own videos. I'll answer it before you ask, i didn't need to make a video to send to a coach to get recruited. that's what happens with good recruits. coach's hear about them and they go see you.

@td0gg33 Wow well said. I have never thought about any of this before. Thanks for bringing all this to my attention.

i love how this guy says don't rotate your hips when studies say that 80% of velocity comes from you ability to separate your back hip from you throwing arm shoulder. classic and retarded

Batting practice

I see that most of the commentary is regarding velocity. Just an observation: if velocity were that critical, wouldn't knuckleballers fail to make the major leagues? In terms of pitching, wouldn't control and command be more valued than just raw velocity? Dr.Marshall may be sacrificing velocity for better mechanics which may lead to increased longevity, is that a bad thing. As for mechanics, look at the old windup pitchers from the early 20's, is it any prettier?

Interesting...

I don't even know where to begin with the comments on this video, so I'll try to keep things brief:

1. More speed does not equal less movement. More speed equals sharper movement. Short, sharp movement > slow, large movement

2. Every one of the batters in this video look like dogshit. The first looks to be a 40 year old beer league softball player.

3. "doing well in D2" can mean a lot of things. There are some really good D2 conferences, and then there are some really shitty ones.

@Aaerios I know, this is the most ridiculous insane thing i have ever seen. Yeah you have a couple inches of break but most little leaugers throw harder. Not only that but you can get the same movement doing it the right way while increasing velocity. Not a single pitcher in the major leauges throws this crazy!

[smackage1015]

need to finsh your arm but you may do it now. this was three years ago..

[ihearteyes]

how hideous is that?

[2pitching]

those hitters don't look very good

[hocheye]

Follow through is short needs to stride out farther which would give him a little more velocity on his fastball and later movement on the breaking balls.Being left handed always helps.He also needs to focus on striding towards the plate as on some pitches he opens up early letting you know he is throwing a breaking ball the motion must stay the same for every pitch I like the arm motion he will not have any elbow problems but needs to keep the front shoulder closed longer.
