Julio Urías changes arm slots to mess with Soto, a breakdown 

A true gentlemens Match

You can tip your hat like man or cry like a baby and complain to the ump yhat the 1st pitch was a ball

Carrying on Miggy's legacy

Best part about baseball

Personally I liked the close up on Soto's crotch shimmy to close the video

Future teammates that’s why

They smiling at each other like “ we gonna be teammates dawg”

that's a nasty pitch at 95mph, total gangster

@@xxCANTSTOPMExx hahahaha😐

@@SoupLegion which one? The second pitch (fb) had some cut bc of arm angle and grip. The fifth pitch (fb) was classic four seam but set up beautifully as explained by Jomboy.

Soto is good player on the plate hard to put away

Estos bateadores están acostumbrados a la recta a gran velocidad.....si los trabajas con diferentes lanzamientos, les puedes hacer mucho daño, si le lanzas puras rectas Ellos te conectan con Facilidad...

I had to scroll way too far down to find this comment.

@@snoozley853 me too lol

good ol yimmy

0:05 I had to rewind just to check.

Who says hitting in the majors is easy? Also, who isn’t in absolute awe of a dude who can throw a change up faster than 96% of the entire population can throw their fastest?

@@saljablo2767 Normals

Hitting is ridiculously hard because it’s not enough to just hack at the ball and make contact You have to make the right KIND of contact, you have to launch the ball at a good angle with the right amount of exit velocity to actually get hits/not groundout or pop up/fly out

@@saljablo2767 a LOT of people that don’t watch baseball think it’s incredibly easier than it really is.

@@ifbfmto9338 and then u have to worry about these type of player that plays tricks on you, and as a batter have to pay attention and gather information quick to guess the next pitch.

Absolutely! I’m here wondering if batters really process all this info when they’re at bat. I’m just a “keep my eye on the ball as it comes” type of guy at my co-Ed softball league for beer lovers. 😂

Couldn’t agree more.

Same!

@@Lbyt21 Oh sure, a huge part of being a hitter is anticipating what pitch is coming next. Paying close attention to the pitcher and his mannerisms can make a big difference

@@sneersh9107 its why pitchers have to be 100% careful with every move they make on the mound so they don't tip their pitches because hitters, especially Soto, are always looking for tells on what pitch is coming by examining the pitcher the entire game.

Urías absolutely dropped dick to close out the Braves in Game 7 of the 2020 NLCS as well. I believe he was perfect in the multi inning saves to close out both series.

Urias was a stone cold killer... Stone cold.

@@dkchen Still is! 5-0, 0.87 ERA since the All-Star Break!

@@elsongs Yeah he had a slow start this season, but he is killing it. Probably up there on the most underrated pitcher.

Not anymore

HE IS A JOKE......

Nowadays SportCenter SUCKS

@@levimiller5686 - WokeCenter

@@levimiller5686 totally agree, I can't watch it.

I was always of the opinion that baseball was boring and wrote it off until I started watching these, now I'm fascinated

While I still think Finnish baseball is more entertaining to watch, Jomboy's videos have definitely increased both my understanding of and my appreciation for the American variety.

It was perfect Lmao😂

Neta que si

Good pronunciation

I had to watch it like four times before moving on. Hilarious. lol

It was funny but having a Mexican dude would've been way better

It's hard to consistently hit your spot if you change your mechanics too much.

Pitching is an artform.

Well said

People complain about the lack of 100+ pitch complete games, 5+ day starting rotations, increase in pitcher injuries, and also the change in offense to ‘3 true outcomes’… it all comes back to modern pitching being a peak athletic form.

Agreed. Never been through anything like this before. Pure pleasure.

Similar to the one he did about the Yankees changing the way they frame pitches

still got some lip reading.. *poooota madre*

Julio said: "PUTA MADRE". That's two words.

Sometimes it's not just arm angle, you can also sometimes read what a pitch might be just by how open/closed their glove looks when they're getting set. Strasburg was tipping pitches that way when they were on their World Series run a few years back.

I feel like it’d be very noticeable as a batter getting different arm angle releases. Because it’s not only changing where he releases the ball but the angle the ball is traveling. As a batter tracking the ball from release to the plate your going to notice 2 completely different angles. Not taking away from them being pros they’re great.

@@rodneybryant6084 Just fuggin track the ball and swing. Not that difficult. (Yes, I have 1 year of T-Ball experience)

it's their job. i bet you could recognize arm angles and stuff after a week of professional batting practice where you have all sorts of data and analytics on opposing pitchers. your reaction speed would be the limiting factor, not your eyesight.

Learn the game 🤦🏽‍♂️

What did it mean?

@@samuelorozco255 he said motherfcker

@@samuelorozco255 Puta Madre is often used in the same context as mother fucker

@@samuelorozco255 its an experssion that shows frustration like "Damn it" but like someone else said in the comments. Litteral translation is "Bitch Mother"

@@samuelorozco255 “puta madre” is short for “la puta que lo parió”. And means “the whore that gave him birth”. In any case this is not directed at Solo by any means. It’s just out of sheer frustration of best efforts not giving results. It is very common and not as rude as it sounds. Hold on, your name is orozco and you don’t understand this? lol you need to brush up on your Spanish mijo.

PUTA MADRE

What did he says?

@@rajivsingh7378 "Puta Madre", the literal translation would be "B*tch Mother" I guess but it's an expression equivalent to an Aussie saying "F*ck me dead" or a Brit saying "Bloody hell". It expresses anger/disbelief in a vulgar way.

@@rajivsingh7378 Whore Mother. It’s a pretty strong Mexicanism. In this context, I’d go with “fucking hell”. In other contexts, it can be more like “Oh SHIT!” There’s kind of a cult of the mother in Mexico, from your mom to the Virgen de Guadalupe. The Virgen is the patron saint of Mexico, serving as both the mother of Mexico and the Mother of God. It’s kind of like the Mexican version of Aloha.

Or, in American, "Mother FUCKER!"

With bonus joez mcfly

@Victor Alvarez it all balances out in the end. Urías had the most wins last season in the NL and many had abismal run support. Not so much this year.

Jomboy and pitching ninja have done a better job promoting the game the last 5 years or so than MLB itself has in the last 2 decades.

Ptm jajaja

That was Beautiful

Mero

Don't get too exciting that Juan Soto it's not a joke

@@mickeymelendez1605 calm down 😂

What does Africa have do with anything

As a South African, how would you personally rate baseball compared to cricket?

@@nobsdodgers South* Africa

Right. Few pitchers would have got the strike out, the majority would have given up a HR after so many pitches in the same location.

Nestor Cortez been doing this shit lol

@@freddiebenson-_-926 Cy young Nestor

Gotta respect Urias' skill. A lot of pitchers can't change arm angle at will like that without the rest of their mechanics going to hell. They're lucky enough if they don't hurt themselves, never mind throwing a strike. Pitching is probably the toughest part of baseball. Hats off to Urias for putting on a clinic here.

@@freddiebenson-_-926 bro, I watch that Nestor vs Shohei breakdown at least once a month and I'm fucking crying laughing. 🤣 Shohei's face like "dafuq, dude?" Just kills me. You gotta give him props. It ain't crazy/stupid if it works.

Jomboy has completely changed my selection of YT baseball videos. I no longer find time to watch an hour of boring "Top 50 (fill in a hyperbole) Stunning Baseball Plays".

He's right, but that's also *why* teams stress keeping the consistent arm slot. Very few pitchers are capable of throwing more than three good pitches, so it comes down to whether or not you want your guys to focus really hard on being able to repeat the three good pitches they have really well, or throw more pitches less well. I think 100% of pitching coaches in the major and minor leagues would prefer to have their guys focus on quality over quantity in their repertoires, but there will always be some freaks for whom the normal rules don't apply.

@@jawbone78 Oh sure, and obviously today's pitchers and analytics are superior, in general. It's just interesting to see the accepted wisdom change over time.

you might like the one with greinke and Soto, that’s a good one too

@Trevor S. almost all, i have notifications on but most things are big events. this was such a niche video

@@JosueMartinez-cz4ct seems soto is always involved haha

A cutter would be a good addition as well. Specially for lefties like Soto, they would get jammed every time.

Fingers, the new tongue.

Baseball is “boring” in the same way that chess is “boring.” The most interesting parts of the game aren’t obvious to the casual observer; you have to have some knowledge before you can truly appreciate it.

boo dogers

Come on Dodgers! Get Soto from your Nationals Farm team. Guy is amazing. What is he 22? Kid is a massive talent.

I love me some yogi Berra isms

Jotrelle is coming along nicely

Until Jomboy learns Spanish, which he really should, he needs more Joez

They don’t deserve him

Yes, how do you “kick your tongue”? 🤔

@@djalex8080 HA! Got’em!

Dude's just out there having fun. He acts all macho in the box sometimes, but it's all in good fun.

@@jacobflowers0529 Why I was ask’n. I liked him because he can hit and is brave enough to act that macho. Now I like him more if he’s running about with respect for good pitching and not going to the dugout to say how lucky that pitcher got! Edit There IS always next time as I’m sure he knows!

Let's all thank Puig for being the sacrificial Lamb so these dudes can be themselves.

@@a2cool4u02 he was fun and made #66 a cool outfielders number

If you ain’t cheating you ain’t trying

Always a good time
