Did you know that theres not just one different kind of slider... but a bunch? Meet the Sweeper, Gyro, and Slurve. #baseball #mlb #ballislife #pitcher #trending #pitching #gyro #sweeper #slider #slurve
Happy to help! I think broadcasts should just keep this one simple and use slider the vast majority of the time. The distinctions are only valuable to players for the most part.
@@TrevorMayBaseballI completely agree. I kept hearing all year, "and there's a sweeper, and the next pitch, is another sweeper". I'm like, stop it already! 😆 I remember playing baseball video games decades ago, and the only pitches you had available were fastball, change-up, slider, curve, and sometimes forkball, depending upon who your pitcher was. And of course there was that rare pitcher who had the knuckleball. Usually Wakefield. He was a joy to watch. Still shocked he passed last month.
