imagine next year, you re hitting aginst yamamoto, studying him, then its ohtani after and youre like "shit god damit" AND THEN a good chane roki sasaki joins ohtani and yamamoto in blue later. Dodgers looking great for the next few years and then you gotta pitch against ohtani freeman and betts

The Yamamoto pick-up will go down as one of the more prescient moves in baseball. His mechanics and control are almost perfect. I expect to see him in the Cy Young conversation every year until he retires.

USA Yamamoto is elite. Just dont let him pitch in Korea

@SnipeyGaming Ай бұрын

Ninja actually broke this down, long story short the dodgers said Yamamoto was tipping his pitches so they had him move his glove placement which messed up his mechanics. He went back to his old glove placement and jus had him keep the webbing of his glove out instead.

@derekconstantino7759 Ай бұрын

@@SnipeyGaming glad they caught it! He just needs some more minor adjustments (like not throwing middle middle in an 0-2 count) and he'll end up being a top 10 pitcher imo

Very good analysis on Yamamoto. I hope he or people in his organization watches this and let him know if he still isn't aware of it.

@m.o.5291 Ай бұрын

His fastball vertical movement and horizontal movement are down from elite (18 and 14) to an average 13.9 and 8. That's the difference between an elite and average fastball. They 100% are aware and fixing this. Just wait until he gets his fastball back

@perferre346 Ай бұрын

I really loved when Yamamoto threw an eye level heater and then followed it up with his yoyo curve in the zone for a backwards k. That sequence was rly fun to watch. I wonder if he'll mix that in from time to time to make keep hitters off his curve the same way hes working the bottom of the zone with the FF and Split!

The reason he had issues in Korea is because they had him hold his glove close to his chest which changed his pitching delivery and just didn't work for him.

@m.o.5291 Ай бұрын

Nah. His fastball in Japan had 18inches vertical and 14 inches horizontal movement. In the MLB it's been 13.9 and 8. That's going from an elite fastball to an average one. Plus he isn't used to the shape of it, that's a recipe for location mistakes

@@SweetZombiJesus ofcourse it's relevant to know that he's a good pitcher who figured out quickly how to work around his fastball being less dominant. His fastball becoming elite again will help him be more dominant or at least maintain.

@shaindaman13 Ай бұрын

The thing that caused Yamamotos recent success is due to the fact that he is AWESOME! Seriously though, that’s the difference between average pitchers and great ones. The truly great ones know how to adjust. The great ones pitch. They don’t throw. Anyone can learn to throw. Hell I can throw. But few know how to pitch. And more times than not a great Pitcher usually doesn’t throw hard. They locate. That’s one’s reason I’m excited about Assad with my Cubs. He’s gonna be great because he doesn’t throw very hard, but he knows how to locate and change speeds based on a 90-93 mph fastball.

@m.o.5291 Ай бұрын

His fastball had 18inches vertical movement and 14 horizontal, which is elite. He is down to 13.9 and 8 in the MLB, that's average. Just wait until he gets his normal fastball back. Him not being used to the lack of movement is probably also causing the balls thrown through the middle.

@pitchingninja please look at his fastball data. A totally different pitch now. In Japan it had 18 inches vertical and 14inches of horizontal armside movement. In the mlb he's down to 13.9 and 8. That's going from elite to average. Lance Bronkowski has a great video on his Japan data. Thats where I found out. He's probably throwing them through the middle because he isnt used to the shape it currently has at all, plus it not being elite at the moment makes mistakes problematic. I dont think the ball size has had this effect on other japanese pitchers so im sure he'll figure it out. Id be curious to hear your thoughts

@PitchingNinjaVideos Ай бұрын

Yep--I think that has a good bit to do with it. Honestly all pitchers are different and adjust differently. When I talked with Senga, he mentioned he had a tough time adjust to the ball when it came to some of his pitches but eventually figured it out (his hands pretty big tho). I'm positive Yamamoto will make needed adjustments either altering his pitch mix, location or getting used to the ball. But he's certainly a great pitcher and will adapt.

@m.o.5291 Ай бұрын

might have commented 5times hoping you'd see since it's so interesting. The info from Senga is encouraging. I'd guess the big ball could easily cause the spin angle to be slightly off. And I'm sure you're right, he's very good and will fix the issue. I don't think he will have to make do with an average fastball for much longer.

@Dudeman9339 Ай бұрын

Yamamoto's 96mph fastball drops like it's 92mph without lateral movement. He has no spin rate or extension so his fastball looks so much slower to the hitter.

He's got 6.6 feet of extension...which is more that Gerrit Cole.
