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

  • @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.

  • @KyleCagle3 no he didn't. It was 2.25 K/BB ratio, and 10.6 K/9 but in only 15.1 IP. He still knows something. Remember the journeymen pitchers and catchers are usually the best pitching coaches. Since they struggled they probably looked at their mechanics much closer than Nolan Ryan ever did.

  • yupp now i got 4 pitches to use :)

    thank you

  • In his rookie season, John Reidling had a 10.6 K/BB ratio. yeah he doesnt know what hes talking about

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

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

    

  • This vid is helpful

  • this really did help me alot

  • @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.
