hes an expert in everything .. and can relate to every single video topic no matter what and have a real life example every time .......every ......single......time.
In every baseball game, at every level, the dark arts are common and everyone knows the tricks and how to disguise them. Both teams, coaches, players, umpires, media, and knowledgeable fans keep an eye out for violations. Pitchers use a variety of tricks: razor blades inside the glove, emery boards, Vaseline, saliva, sweat, pine tar, soap that gets slippery as they sweat, etc.
I bet whoever caught him was a Base Stealer. Base Stealers study Pitchers more intensely than anyone on the team, with the possible exception of the Catcher.. Base stealers are ALWAYS looking for any movement that they can use to gain a 1/2 second that'd the difference between Safe and Out. The Braves had Otis Nixon in the 90s. Nixon kept an old book with notes of every pitcher he ever faced. Rick Charleston SC
@@pierregibson6699 when I played highschool basketball our starting point guard would take a bump in the bathroom before the game idk how the hell he did it 😂
2:17 You two literally watch a video 9 days ago about different baseball pitches and there was a brief section of the video about cheating and putting sticky stuff on the balls.
in mlb they track the spin rate of every single pitch, as well as a bunch of other stuff. in 2015 every park was fitted with a system of cameras and sensors. updated in 2020 to a system with 12 cameras. 5 of them are devoted purely to tracking pitches. every pitch thrown has the following information recorded: pitch type, release speed, release position (horizontal, vertical, and extension from the pitchers mound), spin rate, movement (magnitude and direction), position when it crosses home plate (vertical and horizontal), acceleration(x,y,z direction), as well as velocity and launch angle off the bat, and coordinates of where the ball was hit to (if the batter makes contact). theres a bunch of other situational information recorded, but thats just the stuff about the movement of the ball the average spin rate on breaking pitches from right handed pitchers since then is around 2500 rpm
There is a Japanese or Korean pitcher that puts his entire glove in his jersey to hide what kind of grip he was using, he is trying to guard against the fact that there are a bunch of cameras from a bunch of angles, and every team has someone watching the TV broadcast and they might be able to catch something.
There are insane camera and lidar systems in most MLB parks (minor league too... likely upper division colleges as well). They know the spinrate on pitches and if pitchers lose spinrate, it generally will damage their value/prospects with teams. Cheating is endemic in baseball, especially this sticky stuff, so it doesn't necessarily hurt a players value if they are a known cheater, as long as their spintrate is still good enough without the sticky stuff.
Here we are 150 years since pro baseball began and these sneaky pitchers are still cheating. Of course it's only a matter of time before a hitter gets caught with cork in a bat, or using an adamantium bat instead of an aluminum one. ;)
"I thought it was the Astros that cheated".... Daz, Daz, Daz...... ---------------------------------‐------ -- Both the Red Sox & New York Yankees were cheating on each other by strealing signs with their Apple watches. This was 10 years ago. ---------------------------------------- This situation happened since the pandemic started..... Pitchers have used some remedies to manipulate the ball by using sticky stuff. Like using boiling soda, or whatever. MLB did investigate this. They did have the umpires check the pitcher's glove for sticky substances after every pitching change, or inning gets finished. There are videos on this topic.
They put it in the glove because the batter would know what pitch is coming if they just have out in the open lol And yes they record RPMs for every pitch
there are some giant nerds around and when there's money involved there are many of them. they're watching everything. if they've bet against a team they're watching every detail.
Daz made me think about something...the cheating pitcher could have the catcher rub shit on the ball..they always check the pitcher but never check the catcher
@@user-wr9ej6xe4j That's not cheating. It's neither dishonest nor unfair (which is the definition of cheating), it's just the way the game is and is accepted by everyone. The game is just played and called way different than it used to be. Taking an extra half step or even full step is also vastly different than taking a foreign substance and cowardly, covertly rubbing it on a ball.
If you have any amount of stickiness on your fingers it will increase the spin rate of your pitches. This will cause your fastballs to gain velocity and your breaking balls nasty👍🏼 It is definitely cheating 👍🏼
Sticky = better grip = more spin on the ball = more sudden ball movement and higher velocity to deceive and overpower the hitter = outs = unfair advantage to the pitcher
