Gerrit Cole finished with 13 strikeouts in eight dominant innings as UCLA defeated TCU 6-3 to move to 2-0 in the 2010 College World Series. Subscribe to the NCAA Championship RU-vid channel: ru-vid.com...
That’s the difference between college and the bigs right there. A huge gap between the two, this is why you don’t see guys hit the bigs until 3-4 years after they’re drafted, even from college. Baseball is just so technical it takes a long time to refine mechanics.
Pitchers are going to start coming to Houston to become transformed. Brant Strom is just that good I guess. But we saw it with so many other pitchers too. People thought Verlander‘s prime was over because of his age but his numbers with the Astros proved otherwise, he got even better and he even had a phenomenal 2019 season that got him a Cy Young award.
Coop I’ve never seen him pitch. After 4 batters on this video I thought, “this guy finishes his delivery almost standing straight up. That’s got to be a lot of stain on his arm.”
I don't see it at all. Search roger clemens and you'll see what I am talking about. Clemens had an over the top arm slot, cole doesn't and didn't. You can also see in clemens windup he goes over the head and leg kicks, then leans over his back leg slightly and goes. Where as cole doesn't do that and in college he actually had his torso leaning forward on the way to the plate. The only similarities are that both him and Cole are very direct to the plate. that's about it. What I see from Cole here, is the same windup he has now but he has smoothed it out. Now, everything is one motion and he's cleaned up his arm path so it doesn't get cocked at 90 degrees before shoulder rotation like you see in this video.
Best investment he ever made. Turn down the Yankees, hone your skills and get a good education at UCLA, become a star pitcher in the MLB, get noticed by the Yanks after dominating them in the playoffs, and then have them offer you the richest contract ever for a pitcher.
Pomerlain89 I know looking back it was great move but what if he never became anything or got hurt and he missed his chance to play for them. That would’ve sucked
Actually his windup and delivery are extremely similar to Hughes especially in his Yankee days. Actually, he also physically resembles Hughes. Hughes didnt have nearly the same stuff that Cole does tho.
@@mkadoza I'm open to whatever similarities they might have as being collateral and not going to the stuff issue. Didn't they also come from the same part of California? Yes.
@@rogerweiner5651 How so? He's a starting pitcher behind arguably the two best pitchers in the MLB, and he does it while overcoming acute public anxiety.
L A ummmm he isn’t on the stros. Even with him y’all only made it to game 7 World Series and he was cheated out of a cy young by Justin Verlander yo had worse numbers than him. Also the astros cheated:)
It's unfair to Cole to be compared to Hughes but come on.. Hughes was a good pitcher. He helped the Yankees win a World Series out of the Bull Pen in 2009!
This guy is nothing special. Don’t think he will even get drafted. Kind of shocked he even plays college baseball with the level of skill he had. And really he shouldn’t have made it past high school ball.
