The hitters figured out when he was throwing his curveball, a breakdown 

It’s the Chicago White Sox. I wouldn’t doubt it.

that actually happened to the Tigers pitcher who would look to third every time he would throw the fastball to the Yankees last year. He admitted to the press the next day that he watched the breakdown and saw what he was doing wrong

He had a great outing today vs Pirates so obviously they fixed it. White Sox have a capable pitching coach.

@@scattau41 the Sox are 28th in the league in ERA rn

@@yogurtsniffer86 Yes it's been brutal but the season just started, yogurt sniffer.

Apparently Randy Johnson tipped his pitches his entire career and people still couldn't hit him. So either don't tip or be Randy Johnson 😂

@@DudeTotally1000THE BIG UNIT!

They'll be okay... the average pitchers make 20 mil a year

@@rickshelton1955 what? they’re not gonna be making $20m if they tip their pitches all the time. and nobody was feeling bad for them, just impressed. you sound jealous

​@@rickshelton1955 well, not the average ones... But the good ones make that on average 😂

I was thinking that also 😮

damn you on to sumn

I just scrolled past that short again. You on to something boy.

Hol up…let him cook

As if he’s scouring every game in slow-mo trying to find this stuff. 😂 You’re giving him too much credit- he even mentioned Plouffe sent him this info. Most of his video topics are based on submissions, tips and advice. I like him too but get real.

​@@tweezerjamHe breaks it down in an entertaining way that non baseball fans can understand. Who cares where he got it from

@@CADClicker i do not care and agree. I do care about accuracy though. Weird, I know.

In this case, he gave the credit to Trevor Plouffe, a former major leaguer who is part of the staff.

@@AEMoreira81 that’s right I forgot about that. So yeah, they do scoure footage but again, Jimmy didn’t find this.

At least it’s an easy fix and he doesn’t have the yips or something.

Yup I remember watching a Whitesox post game show where the guys hosting it were trying to say that the giants lineup is just that good. No they are not they have not had a 30+ homer guy since Barry bonds retired as far as I know

@@tbird8166 Yeah he even seemed to settle down after getting out of a jam in the 2nd. And he needed to settle down and find his pitch. The series in Houston just torched the arms in the bullpen, so no early relief help was coming.

Giants were here in NY playing the Yankees last weekend to open the season and got shutout twice in a 3 game series...all of a sudden they turned into power hitters in Chicago...this explains alot and now we know why...good job as always Jomboy

​@@blankname6629mainly because of the ballpark they play in.

To be fair, they are getting paid millions and the reality is there is probably a person on the staff whose sole job it is to watch for this type of stuff.

@@PeterSedesse well, a few of them are paid millions anyway xD

​@Peter Sedesse most baseball players have 20/13 vision or better.

It's just repetition man.

@Fromulus oh is that all it takes to be PROFESSIONAL baseball player..... come on bro

what trevor is he texting?

@@himynamesbob1993 Trevor Plouffe, former major league player who’s now part of the Jomboy team, he’s in a lot of their videos or podcasts

The game is so complex and deep. So many subtle things occurring all the time

Heh heh heh heh... HEH HEH HEHEHE HEH!

Just throw the ball

Reminds me of the Phillies in the WS last year against McCullers. Shows how big of an advantage it is to know what pitch is coming.

Oh I was at the game and the White Sox fans were not happy with this opening day and we’re letting Kopech know about it! I felt badly for him.

when the giants come to town it goes bye bye baby

no hits seven runs scored

@@thedude3065whattt I need a breakdown

@@thedude3065 ?????????

@@patmody seven runs scored no hits tallied

dam those trash pandas!

Imaging being a pitching coach and never noticing he does this after watching Him For years

Imagine the batters on every other team watching this and now the whole league knows what to look for

I wouldn't be surprised if he learned of the tipping from the breakdown.

The pitcher still has to fix it if he wants the slugging to stop.

id steal 2nd, 3rd, and home and even 1st on your sorry ass

You ever consider coaching?

It's always surprised me that catchers as a whole aren't better batters. I mean considering their experience, they should be the experts at reading pitchers. Obviously there are some great slugging catchers like Realmuto but they mostly get paid for defense.

@@sfmc98 I tended to be a .330+ hitter but I never managed any homers. I hit the ball plenty hard I just never bothered trying to lift it, I just put it where it was in the zone. If it's to the right then swing inside-out and slash the ball somewhere into right field. To the left, wrap it up and look to go 2 if the ball gets past the left fielder. I was a good, reliable hitter that got tons of rbis but I just didn't flash enough to really get noticed. I got one year of play in college and I was fine with that. I saw the skill ceiling and knew where I was in relation to it. Now I may be partial but I enjoyed watching yadi get better at hitting and catching through his career. He never was the best hitter but he got really good at using his catcher's eye in the batters box and his defensive play and pitch strategy also seemed to mature alongside that. I've assumed for a long time now that two skills were synergistic and created sort of a feedback loop of comparative experience that great catchers seem to quietly rely on. To be fair I'm a cards fan and even played legion ball with Jose oquendos son. My aunt was al and dee hraboskys personal secretary, so I might be a little biased about yadi. I'm in deep with the Cardinals lore man.

@@ImOriginallyGreen I was a private coach for former pros Rick and niel fiala back in highschool and college. I also worked as an assistant coach in the summers for my eventual college coach Dave Oster. Some of his former players include Mark buerhle and Orlando petit, but he has pro alumni going back to the early eighties. At alumni events coach Oster wears his favorite eight world series rings, all gifted by former players. After my stint in college ball Oster was retired and not running camps either, Rick was dead and niel had had a serious stroke before passing away himself shortly thereafter. I tried to find more gigs coaching but real paying opportunities were pretty much gone. I've coached some nephews and nieces but none of them really took to the game so I haven't even had a chance to coach any level in a couple years now. I did get a call from an organization after I... maybe made a bit of a splash at a local minor league game. I kinda verbally cut a bad home plate ump to ribbons and somebody got a lot of it on video. Apparently my remarks were notably cutting because they were unusually well-informed. It's a small team and most of the tickets are corporate gifts so it's not too hard to track somebody down, apparently. I was interested right up until they signed my cousin. He and I get along but I was worried it might seem inappropriate or screw up how we get along. And if something like that screwed up his shot at the big time I'd never be able to forgive myself. He's made it a fair piece closer than I did, I'm not sure if be any help to him at this stage of his career. He's kinda passed into lands I've never traveled I guess and I worry I'd lead him astray making some rookie coaching mistake. If I get a shot later, great but it's not something I've ever been able to force so I've learned to just let it be. Maybe one day.

Would it be your first time in Chicago? It’s not as dangerous up here as the media makes you think. Curious though-as a “relative newcomer to baseball,” why is Kopech your favorite player?

@@erickgonzalez1471 Second time, we came last year from London for a week too and went to multiple games at Comiskey. Really loved it in Chicago, especially down on the south side. MK is my favourite player because of the way he pitches; the quickness, the style and the attitude, not to mention walking in to Johnny Cash - gives me the chills.

Just to add onto this, it's not always the players that notice first, oftentimes it can be the first or third base coaches looking for stuff like that.

That story is a myth

not as open as the eyes can be when you have the SHADYRAY eye protection experience!

Did they let you know in the 90’s or make you wait?

Then Biggie Smalls had you killed.

Heck, Curt Schilling went his whole career throwing nothing but fastballs. Because he could spot them on (or just off) the corner at will, you still couldn't hit 'em.

It definitely helps you know to wait back on the pitch cuz it’s not coming in at 96 mph +

What cracks me up about that is that 'we could have won without cheating' doesn't make it better! It makes it worse!!

@@TheHopperUK You probably could have (I mean the Astros could have)! But now you get to be the laughingstock of the league until you guys become average again!

Let them. It still gives a measurable advantage which matters over the course of a season, and the way they got their information broke the rules.

Yeah, I'm a Royals fan, but not having Eloy on the lineup isn't helping. He's so good, I hope to see him healthy.

Ya, like maybe in reality, the pitcher starts blinking like a schizo every time he throws a curve ball but we think it's because of a 1 inch difference in his glove? Lol, that'd be pretty funny.

LOL

It definitely happens that’s why pitchers don’t use gloves that have holes in the webbing

Tell your buddy not to be such a mental moron.

@@blankname6629 most pitchers use gloves with webbing. i think what you mean is infield style webbing, i forgot what its called but the 4 square ones.

Its probably experience. Lots of practice, plus good coaching as well. Most of these guys have been playing ball since they were 6 or 7 years old!
