This is the most underrated moment of Bartolo’s career. Everyone remembers the homer off Shields, and how he’s “big sexy,” but this guy was one of the most consistent pitchers in MLB history. He had a hard fastball early on with Cleveland, and as his career progressed he became more and more crafty with his pitches, and his velocity became secondary to his immaculate control of the strike zone which allowed him to stay in the league as long as a lot of kunckleball pitchers do. He’s not a hall of famer, but he will always be memorable.

The movement on those pitches is INSANE. Greg Maddux-esque. So much legend.
Legend has it he still hasn't thrown a pitch out of the out of the zone since. this day
Colon might be the most underrated pitcher of his era. He’s been doing it for so long that it’s easy to take him for granted, but he’s been one of the most reliable pitchers in the game for 20+ years.
Forgot I was at this game, then I saw my friends and I almost catch Aybar's ground rule double. Life is weird.
Good for pace of play rules ^^ Would love to see a spring training game where the count started 2-0 or 3-0, Colon would murder that format
The way Colon reinvented himself as a l starting pitcher, to me, was a great story. He went from being a guy in his 20s who could throw 98 or so and just overpower people to being a pitcher with tremendous control when he showed back up in the majors in 2011.
Geeze I hated the time that the angels would never swing at the first pitch. So many pitches down the middle cause everyone knew they weren’t taking the 1st pitch. Horrible strategy, you can tell a lot of players wanted to take the pitch.

This man will live forever
We need Bart back in the NL, man. WE WANNA SEE THAT BIG OL' BART BAT, BABY!
the effort i gave on the group project 0:44
Eso es grandes Ligas.. Desde Puerto plata.. República Dominicana para la MLB
Bart was such a phenom as a pitcher!!! So very underrated.
This man is a true baseball treasure and I will not rest until he is in the HOF. I don't care about adjusted war when I see a starting pitcher be dominant as long as he has it's truly a rare class. There are very few pitchers who have won a cy young and done what colon has done from age 40-45 you will realize that is a truly rare player and baseball is better having him around since 1996
that pitch he throws at 88-89 is just deadly. I can't tell if it's a cut fast ball, 2 seam, or fast change.
BARTOLO ES UN GRANDE, DURABLE Y UN CARACTER POSITIVO...UN EJEMPLO
I counted 39 strikes in a row... streak continues!
Leyend Baby what up 🇩🇴🇩🇴🔥👑💪⚡️🦁
Talk about challenging hitters. I remember watching all of this, and it was hilarious. Bartolo was hilarious. That he was portly and out-of-shape made me nostalgic for the 70's when relievers would ride golf carts with a big baseball cap to the mound.
LEGEND
Plátano power DR🇩🇴🇩🇴 Colon 🔥🔥
I remember watching a prime Colon pitching for the Indians many years ago. He was throwing 95mph back then and could still bust a few 93’s in this video. Crazy!
This should be shown to every pitcher in every clubhouse during spring training.

What’s crazy about Bartolo if you saw him pitch while he was in Cleveland, he was one of the guys I ever saw that would be low to mid 90’s at the beginning of the game and would be high 90’s to hundred as the game went on
Su truco es la variacion de velocidad.🇩🇴🌄
That 2 seam got so much movement
The best control pitcher since the 1960's.
COME ON MARTIN
You know you gotta give credit to Bar-*STRIKE!*
This is actually very impressive. Young pitchers can’t be afraid to pitch to hitters!
These batters are like me in mlb the show. Swing at everything.
Amazing
Woah there big fella
That 2 seam is nasty
Dios te cuide siempre salud y vida en familia ❤️ Bartolo Colón soy tu fan por muchos años.
If it went his way, that would be 4 straight immaculate innings.
the battery new that bartolo's fastball was really good so almost every pitch was 89-92 fastball!! and the angels batters knew that bartolo throws strikes so they didn't wait and cut the pitches
the greatest
At some point shouldn’t the batters start swinging
Damn it, Marvin!
0:10 how is that slider in the strike zone exactly?
This will never be broken

Substantial Subductive

When you’re little league coach says “just throw strikes” Colon: ok
I like how the ump totally got that last call right pretty impressive
Bartoloooooo
My God, Colon was dealing! I loved hearing the umpire call ”strike” on each pitch!
This is what my teammates expect me to do when they say "just throw strikes"

Remember when starting pitchers went more than 6 innings?

It's considered a strike anytime the batter swings. Whether it's a foul ball or a hit. Foul ball with two strikes is considered a strike but doesn't affect the count or go against the batter.
I think that guy Bartolo Colón is a pretty good pitcher
impressive
He’s really got some balls
Come on Marvin!
Ive watched enough Jomboy videos to question the frequent shirt grab on his right side after each pitch. Im not saying he was using Pine Tar but its just Interesting
I love that hits count for this though.. not to take away from his record but theoretically the folks throwing for home run derby are demolishing this record
Swing!!!!
Music to my eyes? 😍
seems like the kind of guy to pitch until his mid-40’s
Chicks dig the strike
