The nine hole refers to when that player bats in the batting order. A teams best 5 hitters will generally bat 1 through 5 in order to maximize a teams chance of scoring and having those players get additional at bats earlier than the worse hitters. The 9 hole hitter will always be one of the worst offensive players on the team, but many are great fielders and players overall. I don't watch much baseball these days and don't know how good that guy is, but if he is batting 9th it's safe to say that most or all of the other Mariners are better at the plate.
Question. I don't really know much baseball but aren't batters 1 & 2 normally the best at getting on base and 3 & 4 the best power hitters on a team. Is that right? or am I just making that up?
@@NicioTrevino Yes, the lead off hitter and second to bat are usually players with high on base percentages and more speed. The 3, 4, and 5 hitters are the players more likely to get extra base hits and home runs to drive the runners in.
9 hole hitters are usually have speed and and have a decent small ball game (bunting) as well. But you are right they are usually more defensive focused
The bat twirling stuff isn’t actually that much of a showboating thing. Every batter has their little quirks that they like to do to stay in rhythm/focus. I used to do the same bat twirl thing when I played mostly because it’s easier to do that instead of holding it up the entire time in the ready to hit position where your arms might get tired, but you also don’t want to just be standing still as a statue because it’s not exactly an athletic position, unless that’s what you want to do. It’s more of a repetition/rhythm thing and I reckon most baseball players aren’t even aware of their quirks most of the time because it’s just done out of habit. This particular hitter was probably being a little extra imo, but to me it seemed like more of way to frustrate the pitcher (and also to show his own frustration) than a showboating thing.
The hitter was a showboat and he has no business doing it. he should spend that wasted time on practicing to make himself better. The 9 hitter is usually the worst hitter or close to it.
@@michaelsmith-iu1be twirling the bat in that way while the pitcher is coming set is not showboating lmao. The only thing slightly extra he did was the flip after the foul tip. Its baseball fans like you that have made me grow distaste for a game I used to love. Btw, Babe Ruth to this day is praised for "calling his shot" before a HR and now a slight bat twirl makes people throw a fit... Sad times really
@@paytonmarlow3639 It's people like me? Everybody is allowed an opinion, i thought. at least until the wokies took over. The difference between the Babe and this guy is no one is going to remember this guy in 20 years.
We Americans have just defeated the Canadians yet again (penalties) in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. It is basically our "C" team with a few "B" players mixed in, but still very fun to watch. We play Pamama on Wednesday in the semifinals, Mexico vs. Jamaica in the other semifinals. Watch for Jamaica to pull the upset with many players playing professionally in Britain and even some British born.
Hi guys. Okay, the 9 hole is the batter in the 9th spot in the lineup. The 9th hitter (there are only 9 in the batting order) is usually the weakest hitter. So they were trying to break up Coles rhythm and several players had been stepping out and stuff thru the game. With the new rules to speed up play a batter can have 1 timeout per at bat. Otherwise from the time the pitcher gets the ball back the clock starts, 15 seconds with nobody on base and 20 if there are baserunners on. The batter must be in the box by (sorry having a senior moment, can't remember if it's 8 or 10), then the pitcher must be in his pitching motion before the time expires. If the pitcher is late there is a ball called. If the batter is late getting in the box, then a strike is called. These new rules have changed the game from an avg. of 3 hours to about 2 and a half this season. With some being a good deal quicker than that.
9 hole is the last batter in the lineup. Next guy up is leadoff. So as a pitcher you dont want to let that guy on base. Hes usually the weakest hitter on the team.
Nah its not really showboating, every player spins their bat or warm up swings in between pitches, 9 hole hitter means hes the last hitter in the lineup
4:40. It's not a strike. That's what makes baseball interesting in some aspects. The "human element" part with the umpires. Some umpires have a longer vertical strike zone. Some umpires might have a wider horizontal strike zone. You combine that with the way the Catcher can 'frame' a pitch and make balls look like strikes, or the various throwing angles a pitcher can use to give a pitch the illusion that it hit the strike zone, and you can be in for a long night as a batter. Oh and it's all up to the batter to adjust, and the written and unwritten rules say you pretty much aren't supposed to the complain to the umpire about their crappy inconsistent strike zones. Watching 'perfect' umpire games where they don't miss a single call in the game is a thing. Have at it. 🙃
The ones where he overlays different pitches on each other will make you appreciate just how hard to hit some of the balls are and to even know where they are gonna go.
I love Jomboy videos - i hope you do more. It's fun watching you both put all the pieces of the puzzle together - so far - you've figured everything out - well done.
Definitely do more Jomboy he Along with foolish baseball are the best baseball channels on YT . Makes fantastic vids especially for new learners like yourselves
You guys should check out the highlights from the 2023 college baseball world series in Omaha. It was epic, if I do say so as an LSU fan. The Tiger faithful showed up in droves, and were not disappointed.
Great video guys! You guys should react to the presentation of the new NBA in-season tournament. The league modeled it after European football, it’s really interesting!
Every baseball player on every level has their own routine. I would tap the bat on each side of the plate and then twirl the bat twice and then get ready to hit.
That's the thing about baseball every player has their quirks that help them get focused for a game, but alot of baseball is strategy and small nuances. Like for example keeping each other guessing when pitching or up at bat. If they "just" throw the ball whats keeping the batter from hitting a HR or getting to base, these guys are very capable of throwing ppl out/hitting fast unpredictable pitches ofc ( cause i hear that complaint alot,' just throw the ball.') Or vice versa whats keeping a pitcher from striking you out at bat if you just swing at every pitch. So it's common for the pitcher and batter to try and fake the other out, though its more subtle sometimes. Edit: That and whether the particular players/teams have history, some players just being more flagrant etc.
A team has nine players active in the game at at time. So 9 players get to bat in an order provided by the coaches to the umpire. The lineups and batting orders are exchanged between the teams. The batting order basically remains the same the entire game. However it can change if a coahc moves one pler from a perticular position on the field and moves anotehr player into that position. But normally the order does not change and if a substitute is made. The subtitution player is plugged into the batting order in the same place as the person he replaced. They go through the batting order from 1 to 9 until the defense gets three batters out. The next inning they pickup in the batting order where they left off. Coaches tend to load the best hitters at the front of the lineup so they'll come up to bat more often. But this often means the bottom of teh order (batterss 7-9) are weak hitters. So if four batters bat in the firs inning, the person batting fifth leads off the second inning. You can bat around the entire order endlessly until the other team gets three outs on you. Then the teams trade off and the offense goes on defense and the defense goes on offense.
Jose Caballero is a rookie with great defense, a promising offense and he is also a great base stealer. He also plays mindgames like a veteran and runs the pitch count up on opposing pitchers.
Daz, you had the nine-hole thing correctly. There's nine batters in each lineup and Caballero was in the ninth spot. He's not a particularly great player. He's good enough to be in the majors but this is his first year at the MLB level and he's not nearly as good as he acts like he is. Maybe as he develops, who knows. Low batting average, almost no power in his bat, OK defender.
The kid is correct. Every team gets at least 27 at bats with every player getting 3 at bats but that only happens with a perfect game where no player gets on base. Most batters will get 4-5 at bats a game
9 hole hitter is usually for the weakest batter or used to be for when the pitcher (in the NL, before last season) The Line Up: You want the first guy batting that gets on base & is a fast base runner 2nd hitter is usually another guy that gets on base 4th is called the “cleanup hitter” he is the one that hits the home runs
Each team has nine batters and usually the ninth one is not highly productive. The best hitters tend to be at the top of the lineup 1-2-34, then they tail off a bit. The nine hole hitter is the ninth batter.
Caballero isn't super well known, hes the backup 2nd basemen for the Mariners in his first year. Hes super interesting tho hes very good at bothering the opposing pitcher by taking advantage of the time rules.
The batter has to be in the batter's box ready to hit by 8 seconds in the time clock and can call time out once in his at bat. If he is not ready after the 8 second point, it's a time clock violation and the umpire calls a strike. So, there wasn't really any reason for the pitcher to react the way he did. The batter can do pirouettes if he wants, and pitcher should ignore it and just do his job.
Cole is an elite pitcher who usually dominates hitters. What is annoying to Cole is that this hitter is a back-up second baseman who nobody's heard of and he's acting as if he can take him on. He's batting 9th (last in the batting order), the spot for the weakest hitter on the team. It's a beta male strutting around like he's an alpha male. He knows his best chance to succeed is to irritate the better pitcher by changing his rhythm and trying to get in his head. It's the game within the game that makes baseball so beautiful. The body language with the staring, the nodding, the smirking, the stretching, the flexing and the strutting.
some thing you said makes me think you don't know this... a foul ball is a strike but can't be your third (final) strike to be out. so if you have one strike an hit it foul its becomes two strikes but if you have two strikes and hit it foul it will not become your last strike. so you can keep hitting it foul all day and not be out.
@@officeblokedaz every sports video you do, on this channel and office bloke channel. If you do a sports video, the word showboating comes up. There is a difference in playing with flair and showboating.
@@officeblokedazPeople will always look for patterns even if there’s no actual trend occurring. Daz, love the content, l hope you do more JomBoy in the future.
jomboy is entertaining but he is a yankees fan and is on speaking terms with several people from the yankees so hes pretty biased sometimes. i think he also doesnt like the blue jays
