micah bettis Yes, he is. He’s tacked on a few Cy Young Awards since this video was taken as well. I’d love to get a current video of what he’s working with these days.

lol, you should see him when he gets fired up on the mound.

You're exactly right the funny thing is I was a huge Red Sox playing at the time and thought there was absolutely no way that they would win that you especially compared to years like2011 where they had so much more talent

Scherzer left in free agency but yeah. They also had price and porcello who both have cy young awards

+Yellow Brick Road it's just a thing of habit that he does in his bullpens with the coach and catchers. It's funny seeing Max so relaxed in his pen session but turns into a savage on the mound

Late response but doing it helps reinforce good habits by attaching a emotion to a pitch he likes, when he misses a spot or throws a bad pitch he doesn't do the motion

Michaeljeferson it marks the pitch he's throwing next, hand up is slider, 2 fingers is changup, fistpump is curveball, and nothing is fastball

Muscle memory training.

Peter Tagle not quite. The coming pitch is the what he does with his glove. Other people in this thread got it right.

Kershaw is probably never going to leave the Dodgers

We got him!

ThatWSFanboy we got him now

They lost 2 great pitchers now

copying La Flamo Blanco aka Kenny Powers

T H YOON something called myelin. myelin trains your brain that whatever you just did and celebrated for is the thing you want to happen all the time. when he is in the game pitching and throws a pitch he likes, in his brain he is doing the celebration because your brain cannot decifer wether youre celebrating in your mind or in real life. If you are a pitcher, i highly reccomend you start celebrating after you throw a good pitch or do a good rep in a drill. it pays off. when you do it bad, dont celebrate and move on to the next one. simple as that.

@A Rebel With A Cause Maybe he would run away before Max throws Lol 😂

@A Rebel With A Cause Because the ball moves a few centimeters for 0.4 seconds on TV

why not

its ot going to happen, hes been way too good with the nats. they woudnt trade him for your shitty dodger players

bob john shitty but we made it to the world series were was your team

Gabriel Alvarez Doesn’t matter. If the Nats think they have a shot at the postseason, he’s going nowhere. That’s how it’s always been.

crunchwrap supreme lol

1)Four Seam fastball 2)Slider 3)Cutter 4)Changeup )Curveball

In order: Slider Curveball then from the stretch: 4 seam Cutter Slider Changeup back to the full: Fastball

In his pens, he'll raise his hand for a slider, pump his fist for a curve, show two fingers for a change, and no motion for a fastball. This is after his pitch, of course

NVM WOOOOOOO!!

It sounded like he said 'i'm early'.

He said "I'm good"

"I'm Early" Maybe he was flying open to early on his delivery

@@chrisk6811 I just noticed this as well, I think maybe he finished his warm-ups too early for his liking. He seems to be the kind of guy who has to have a specific routine followed exactly. That's just my opinion, based on what I've heard about how he is on game day
