Ok so when you dive, at one point you do pull ahead, then why not dive a bit late, and you’ll get to the bag faster?

slide to first its better

I loved sports science growing up. I remembered they had this segment. Which is faster? Running or sliding/diving? I’m here 10 years later to see which was faster. Because in 2024 some MLB teams are no longer sliding into second because it’s faster. Just watched a short where a force was turned into a tag because of this & scored a run even though it was the 3rd out. Chess not checkers!

Him and Joe Louis are definitely in classes of their own. Regarding black American athletes.

Yes. Pittsburgh, Higbe.

추강대엽에서 1짱은 추다…

1:20 even when something as great as this happens to you and your teammates, you can't help but be a biggot. RIP Jackie Robinson for all the hardship he endured and Chadwick Boseman for playing this man very well.

1:14 my favorite part 😂 “Pittsburgh”😂

“No way he can hit curly’s pitch… fuck homerun”

times when actors weren’t acting

Rest in peace Chadwick Bozeman.

the kinetic friction apparently causes the result. the fact has been known but this footage is the first that proves the fact. thank you.

초고속카메라 브금도 깔아주지..

But they actually just proved it's faster to slide, he just wasn't timing it right, a perfect dive would be hitting the bag the millisecond you touch the ground and it would actually be faster. As shown in the video

This is how they won, and they didn't have themselves to look up to I got this 💪.

Awesome

On Jackie Robinson day I wear 45 in support of TRUMP. None a this woke nonsense! Christian nation!

He hasn't stepped on the home plate yet! Lol You cut it off too soon

This is my first movie with Chadwick acting, I’ll remember him like Jackie Robinson

REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER. GOD BLESS YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE .THANKS SO MUCH FOR INSPIRATIONS MOMENTS .FOR EVER AND FOR EVER...Muchas gracias Hermano..Vielen Dank nochmal..Gott segne Dich

It's very hard to watch Chadwick Boseman movies now

I’d like to see this same experiment but compare it to situations where the runner has a half stride to go. Not a full stride like you did here

Not only thank you Jackie for going all thru that hell and proving all it takes some want to in your body to get thru hell and that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel no matter how dark it is just keep moving forward and everything will be alright. But thanks to Branch Rickey for having Gods heart and not judging someone off what they look like. He wanted Jackie to get a chance and opportunity just like everyone else.

That was such a shitty dive, he should've slid

running is the gas pedal. diving is at best drifting. if you hit the ground _before_ reaching the bag, now youve hit the brakes. diving into 1st is *STUPID* 100% of the time.

Fritz ostermuellr never aimed for Robinson's head in real life

God bless and R.I.P Jackie Robinson, and the legend who played him, Chadwick Boseman 🙏🏻

No need for umpires behind the plate. We have technology.

It is basically BULL SHIT UNscience! When they start the 10 foot timing they start the head first slide when his center of gravity is about 3 1/2 feet from the 10 foot start line, as his outstretched hand is just touching the 10 feet start line (at :45). When they do the run through the bag timing his center of gravity is about 1 foot from the 10 foot start line (at 1:01). He decelerates by 50% once his feet leave the ground (What you smoking to believe this?!?!?!). That happens because they appear use different frame rates in the final overlay at 1:24. It is REALLY about center of gravity, with the center of gravity over the same point, you can reach with your outstretched hand about 2 to 2 1/2 feet further in front with your when your body is in a horizontal position, compared to reaching out with lead foot extended with body in vertical position. Watch a long jumper and tell me they decelerate 50% once they leave the ground. Also 18MPH is 26.4 ft/sec which means you cover 10 feet in .379 seconds, not the reported .260!!! At 18mph each foot traveled takes .037878 seconds, so if you can gain 2 feet by reaching further with your outstretched hand with horizontal body as opposed to lead foot with upright body you can get to 1st base by sliding head first .076 sec faster. Sliding into 1st base should used A LOT more often!!! We need Mark Rober to make a real science video on this topic!!!!

Thanks for posting this. Just finding it. Lim didn't do well in MLB but happy to say he did very well in NPB and KBO.

Behind a Great Man, Is a Greater Woman!

Theres a ball game in heaven ❤️ and it don't see color ❤️there all there , babe , ty Cobb DiMaggio, Jackie, Ted Williams It's about the love of the game❤️thank u guys

벼락같은 스윙

thats not even a slide wtf

You listening Derek Jeter? Stop diving to first base

So i should dive way later than I think and reach real low?

Diving hurts lol. Sense I’m small it’s like I’m already diving so I run my little legs as far as I can go.

I don’t care what anybody says my Dodgers are a classy organization all the way

Wow

I knew this in 1983

One Of d Greatest Movie Of all Time

All I'm thinking is why isn't he wearing gloves.

RIP Jackie Roosevelt Robinson 1919-1972

This kid just sucks at sliding

The only reason you dive into first or home is to avoid being tagged out. If it’s a force play you run through first or home no matter what. The only time you would ever dive into first is if either the first baseman or the pitcher fields a ground ball and can’t step on the base in time to get the force out at first. The only time you dive into first is to avoid getting tagged out which is pretty rare at first base because 90% of the plays there are force plays.

But if you slide with the only goal to get faster to the base, you should not do it to far from the base, you have to throw yourself closer and straight to the base. Think about it, if you are in a rase and you throw yourself in the last second on the goal line you would probably beat the guy that is next to you. Same in baseball, if you slide to early you will slow down a bit, but if you throw on the base you'll get faster.

1:57 a tuh

Love how these movies all have that same stereo typical guy , even though in reality he didn't face that much racism from other players , he got more from asshole fans in the stands .

Yeah, Jackie helped change America. An absolute warrior. Too bad asshats like LeBron and Regina King have forgotten....

If that was a walk off homerun then why isn’t everyone at home plate I’ve never gotten that to this day
