The Yankees' CC Sabathia joined John Smoltz to break down his evolution on the mound and pitching with less velocity.

Secretly hoping CC makes it to 3k strikeouts. With that body, with all kinds of knee problems you would have thought this man was done by age 34. But 18 years in the Majors... props, CC.

Smoltz kept throwing that little jab in there, "you used to throw hard, but you don't anymore". I think if i were CC i would've mentioned something like "yeah John, when you were a starter you were able to throw hard for 6+ effectively, but then you got old too and got moved to the bullpen"

@@OrionsVantage You should really look at history before just looking at the statistics. John Smoltz did get converted to closing for large section in second half of his career, but that was to the benefit of the team. Not as a result of performance, nor velocity change. He accepted the change for the team and excelled. BTW, he ended up as a starting pitcher at the end of his career (including at age 40). Mets fan that have respect for the Braves pitchers during that time period/generation.

Thanks CC unlike many or most big contracts yours was worth every penny.
@rftulie3 жыл бұрын
I have always said this about CC -- that he became great by reinventing himself when he lost his fastball velocity. Even though I can't stand him for having been most notably a Yankee (I grew up in Brookline, MA, and he owned my Sox so often I've lost count -- hated to see him start against us), I've always respected his intelligent approach to pitching and the way he was able to prolong his career by becoming a finesse guy and employing more pitches. He also comes across as a really Zen dude here, and I respect that too ("did it make you mad when you heard you were washed up because you lost velocity?" "no, it's just part of the game." Way to go, CC. Long life and happiness to you!

@mcnap10206 жыл бұрын
I think it's more of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," idea. When C.C. was throwing gas, nobody could hit him so there was no reason for him to think beyond blowing it by the batter. As velocity dipped, he had to get more creative. That shift seems to be what separates most pitchers as they age. A lot of them can't change when their body doesn't allow them to do the things they once could.

it’s crazy how we call 93 low velocity because the average is 95-96 i think, and as we know a lot of people hit 99-102 now. with the amount of time it takes the ball to hit the catcher, you would think that it’s impossible to hit a baseball, also with people with high velocity and good command, this is a sport that deserves more hype and recognition. getting back to calling low 90s low velocity is crazy because isn’t the mount like 80 or 90 feet from home plate? i don’t know the number, and pitchers with their different styles, the ball may look faster just because of their style, pitching is truly an art, CC doesn’t throw the hardest but got 3,000 strikeouts, that’s amazing
