Yu Darvish Throws 11 Different Pitches 

It sounds quite neat when you have more than five pitches in your repertoire. You can kind of "pick your loadout" for the day and then depending on the opposing hitters you can add or subtract. Say you've been throwing fastballs, changeups, and sliders then after four innings you replace the changeup with the splitter since they've been making contact with it and add the curveball to tunnel with the slider.

somehow a 39 sub channel made the vid I always wanted to watch

Darvish was immediately my favorite pitchers I’ve ever seen when I first saw him pitch with the rangers, the dude is AMAZING. I’m hoping the rangers can either get Yamamoto as he seems very similar. But I’ll also be okay if we land Ohtani ! 😂

Great video man. I lucked up with the algorithm today

imagine being this guys catcher, bro gotta use his third hand to give him some signs

Great video - I learnt a lot about Yu! What a pitcher! Subscribed too ❤

The great Juan Marichal Threw 15 different pitches. 5 over arm 5 sidearm and 5 under arm. This was stated by the late great Frank Robinson and several other hitters of the era.

how do you only have 35 subs? so underrated

Slow leg wind up, more mechanical looking for any breaking ball, and faster leg wind up and delivery on fast ball, he’s nice with it tho

god he is gonna be such an incredible coach one day

Bro I thought u were a big channel how in the world u only got 130 subs

Satchel Paige had like 18 pitches Bob Gibson had 12

hes had that many pitches since he was a dodger

show schwarber's home run vs darvish

the last pitch is a splinker right?

Of all current MLB Pitchers active, even though the numbers don’t show it, I feel like Darvish is the most talented. I was so happy to see him come over to my Cubbies and hated seeing him go.

Please get revived in next season, Yu. And see Yu at next WBC in 2026!

12:17 what's the conclusion from all this? It doesn't matrer how many pitches you have when your opponent is stealing signs

Wait, the knuckle curve is way easier for me to throw than a regular

good video from Japan🤙

5:25 I also throw that pitch lol

The amount of research you put in to this video is awesome and I commend you for that. But you have a lot to learn when it comes to pitching. Pitch categorization is different than grip manipulation. I'd be thrilled to help you understand these differences and intricacies if you're interested in learning. For example there's no difference between a sinker and a 2 seam fastball, by definition all sinkers are 2seamers

I forgot he played in LA

Satchel Paige

average dbats machine pitch arsenal

Not surprising at all. When he was young, he worked at a 7-11.

I know you mentioned that the knuckle curve is hard to learn but I remember trying to figure out a curveball and I found the knuckle curve and it only took me a day or two to actually figure it out. To be fair though I was 12 at the time, shit was nasty af if I threw it right

As a Rangers fan, I was in awe of Darvish during his tenure in Texas. And 11 pitches is indeed impressive. But oh the numbers. His salary has averaged $15,000,000/year while he averages less than 10 wins/year. Not so great. His post-season record is 4-6, including two losses in his only WS. Not so hot. Nor was his 2023 ERA of 4.46 and 8 wins. BTW, he lost his last 3 starts in 2023, getting hammered for 13 runs in 16 innings. So the assortment of pitches is interesting, but it doesn't count for much if he can't produce wins commensurate with his salary, or win in the post-season. I will take Eovaldi any day, He went 5-0 in the 2023 playoffs. He racked up more playoff wins in one post-season that Yu has won in 11 years. When heat is on, Nate gets the job done.

Houston Astros cheated. Darvish was the biggest victim. Let’s remember that, shall we?

And Kyle schwarber can hit 10 of the pitches 425 ft

Too bad your quantity doesn’t translate to QUALITY, all those pitches but where’s all those wins taking u ?? No where
