Baseball Archetypes: All Aboard the Submarine 🔧 

Dan Quisenberry, Mark Eichhorn, and Kent Telkulve were fun to watch pitch.

When the Royals won the 1985 World Series, they got a congratulatory phone call from President Reagan. Reagan referred to the Royals relief ace as "Jim Quisenberry." A few days later the Royals visited the White House, and Reagan apologized to Quisenberry for calling him "Jim". Quiz replied, "That's okay, don." Sadly, Quizenberry died at the age of 45 from brain cancer, which also had killed the manager of that championship team, Dick Howser.

Submarines: A boat, a sandwich and also a pitcher! Loving your unique talks on baseball!

Submarine guys last a long time too. Natural arm slot

Those Johnny Bench fundamentals videos were pretty great, honestly.

There's a video available on RU-vid of the Washington Senators at spring training in 1931 featuring some shots of a pitcher named Ad Liska who threw completely underhanded. Most of the submariners throw more like 3/4 underhand, like Quisenberry & Tekulve, but Liska is completely underhand like a softball pitcher.You can also watch Walter Johnson's motion in the video, and he was always considered a sidearm pitcher, but he's as submarine as some of the pitchers in this video. The Senators also had a pitcher named Dick Hyde who had one sensational season as a reliever in an otherwise mediocre career, in the late 50s. Have never seen any film of him. He was a skinny guy with glasses, looking something like Tekulve, but not so tall.

Billy, excellent, as always. Very nice mention of Jack Warhop, who literally scraped the mound during his delivery

Gene Garber was my favorite submarine pitcher with how he would turn his back to the plate during his wind-up.

Thanks so much for an awesome background into the history of MLB submarine pitchers.

This is what makes baseball so cool… Always something unusual like this.

Thanks! Really enjoy the channel and the deep dives into lesser known baseball stories! Keep em coming !

Baseball is a game full of niches and you find the interesting ones for sure. Great content my friend from up north!

Brilliant content. Amazing video. 🍻

Great content man!

I may be a bit biased but I think this is fantastic work Mr. HatBilly

Terry Leach pitched a 10 inning 1 hitter against Phillies in 82

Quis was a legend in KC back in the day. I had a conversation with him one day about popular music, as I worked in a Camelot Music store. I didn’t let on that I knew who he was, and I think he appreciated me keeping his privacy intact for a few minutes.

I hope that man who refused to treat Porter Moss lived a miserable life full of tragedy, loss & loneliness. F that guy.

RIP Steve Olin

Hello been taking care of my father still.He is hanging in there always some setbacks please keep him in your prayers.I still am enjoying your videos this one was over the top with your incredible research as always.Kent Tekulve makes me cringe when I see him.I can still remember that guy wrenching loss to the pirates in 79 series.I was just a 9 year old kid back then and remember it like yesterday.Everytime I hear the song we are family brings back those bad memories.Anyhow things are looking up for the O's hope the management stays pat at the trade deadline.we have some chemistry and if it ain't broke don't try to fix it.Btw still can't wait to do some fishing but my father is my most important priority now.Your videos help me get through the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my life.kerp them coming and thanks again.Be safe.

Todd Frohwirth was also an Oriole

Charlie ‘Ole Hoss’ Radbourn is the first Submarine pitcher in the HOF.

No mention of Walter Johnson? The greatest sidearm pitcher of all time...not quite submarine but as close a Garber. Love your videos!

as an A ganger on a cutter... i love that you mentioned me

Have you heard of a pitcher named Byung hyun kim? He was a submarine pitcher who threw more than 90 miles per hour.

This taught me a lot about the history of submarine pitchers. Thanks. BTW, as a Giants fan watching Tyler Rogers sling it, his entire motion looks so uncomfortable. I cringe every time.

Tho it's uncommon today submarine pitching was mandatory back in the day as overhand pitching was actually banned in baseball until 1890

One of the best pitcher for submarine might be rei takahashi with a 90+ fastball with the same slot as makita. I love park jong hun’s windup too

Bill Campbell 🌟

First one I remember seeing as a kid was Ted Abernathy.

Another good video, another reference to inequality and racism as well. You're the contact hitter of the social/race reference.

Wow….did not know that Dan Quisenberry was not in the Hall

U missed a lot about mark eichhorn. Probably one of the best statistical relievers ever. Look at the stats

Theres a japanese hall of famer, yamada hisashi, he played for hankyu braves, imo the best submariner of all time

Most of these guys are side arms. Tekulve was the only true SUBMARINER of the bunch. Your knuckles have scrape the dirt to join the club!

Why do you think we don't see many submarine starters?

So does Eck not count as a submariner

I think Darren oday and Kent tekulve are Not submarin pitcher. They are sidearm pitcher.

The day theres a submarine knuckleballer in the league is the day the world implodes

Darren o'day is not a submarine pitcher.hes sidearm submarine is below the knees

Eichorn was unhittable. Period. This whole video should be about him.

hey wait a minute there one pitcher that you forgot . that threw sidearm and submarine his name is dick tidrow. his nick name is dirt.
