The guy is moving 50% at the beginning of the bullpen session and that ball is still flying out of his arm. The effortless velocity is insane 🤯

I'm glad the fans are respecting what they see. Verlander is a class act, and seeing an arm like that work up close must be awesome.

8 Years Later, listening to this starting lineup, holy hell the Red Sox were stacked.

I am always amazed by these behind the pitcher POV’s. The showcasing of their accuracy only indicates how talented you have to be to play at this level.

The first pitch was so smooth and right down the pipe. I was hypnotized from the start.

Justin Verlander is a one man bullpen, he has every pitch in his arsenal, arguable the best fastball and changeup in the Majors, and can throw with force into the 8th or even 9th inning. If the Tigers win the World Series Verlander will win the Cy Young Award in 2012

I don't think anyone knew how good Verlander would be for how long he has been. 2019 and he's still a maniac.

This camera angle gives me a great appreciation of how amazing it is that these guys can hit the catchers target so accurately. Not easy to do from 60 feet away, with stuff that has great movement.

There are some defensive catchers with a serious cannon of an arm that can hit over 90 mph from their knees. That's how Kenley Jansen earned a spot as a pitcher. Hes originally a catcher.

@KC-bg1th

Like the other guy said, there's a lot of catchers that can pitch. Aside from catchers needing to know all about pitching for their job, one thing that catchers need to be able to do is throw to second and third for steal attempts; some catchers rely on quickly releasing the ball with moderate arm strength, while others rely on brute arm strength - the best catchers have both. In some games that are a for sure loss, they'll have position players pitch so that they don't exhaust their bullpens. Russell Martin's defensive highlights should give you an idea of a catcher that could easily be a pitcher if they wanted.

These Fenway bullpen videos are the best!!!!

amazing shots! Thanks for uploading!!

Saw him a couple weeks ago in spring training, he was throwing 96 with ease, looked consistent and sharp. He still has it.

Watching him with the tigers was electric! The first game I watched him pitch he took a no hitter into the 8th and the first couple innings it seemed like he wasn’t throwing his fastball with max effort and still throwing easy 96-97 and then the game got later and one of his last pitches was 102! One of the best in this era for sure!

Love this video. Verlander's my favorite pitcher.

8:10 tell me.thats not just satisfying as

When I see Verlander in this session of bullpen it remember me the movie For Love Of The Game and there's an scene exactly like this pre the game of the movie when the pitcher is talking with the manager about who's gonna catch him in the game and he wanted to ''Goss''

it's honestly so satisfying to watch

that's friggin awesome man I sure can remember the feeling of throwing pitches off the baseball line and trying to put my pitches where the mit was. hes a damn good pitcher

That's JV's most underrated trait in my opinion. He's fresh forever as long as he's not injured. It's not a saying, but like in Boxing and Running, he's got an Iron Arm like a Chin or Lung. JV is the only pitcher to reach 102 pitching 8 innings in, and he's reached 100 or 101 on at least 15 occasions. The reason I know this? Verlander came from my school, Old Dominion and I have to pride him every chance I get.

Cool how even in warm ups he is painting the corners, He doesn't use the middle of the plate.

A thing of beauty

It's so beautiful...

The soothing sound of a ball hitting a glove 🤗

the last one is perfect

The control these guys have is insane.. What's better to see? A 3 point specialist, or a guy like Justin Verlander hitting his spot everytime

The catcher throws harder from his knees than I can with a crow hop.

2:30 was straight gas

That first pitch was unbelievable...

So talent man

They make it look effortless

He has the best control out of any pitcher in the mlb atm

I played high level baseball and could turn a straight 98mph fastball into a 400 plus foot homer very often. But Verlander is a special talent with so much movement on his fastball you are lucky to square it up. Nobody sits on him.

Is that a bullen workout? Because that s like good 50+ pitches before game. Wow amazing of the quality performance of these mlb pitchers.

Who’s still here

Lock for Hall of Fame. MVP, 2 Cy Youngs, World Series Champ. Stud pitcher.

I am a RED SOX FAN FOR LIFE!!! Justin Verlander is the real deal.

You are the best

Professional baseball player. Very impressive.

that breaking ball was sick

Fenway’s got great seats close to the bullpen. I hope others will post more videos like this one.

Funny story about Verlander and the 2006 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals. In those days, Verlander was arguably the hardest throwing pitcher in the Major Leagues, routinely hitting in the high-90s and often 100+. Verlander was defeated in game 1 of the World Series by the Cardinals' rookie, Anthony Reyes. The Cardinals had just battled the Mets in a grueling 7-game NLCS series whereas the Tigers had coasted to a 4-0 sweep of the Oakland A's in the ALCS. The Tigers were ready to start game 1 of the World Series with their ace, Verlander. The Cardinals had used up all their quality starters and were forced to go with their #5 starter Verlander. The Cardinals really had no choice. Surprisingly, the Cardinals take game 1. The series comes back to St. Louis. Down 3 games to 1, Verlander is starting game 5. As the story goes, the Cardinals' manager, Tony La Russa, inquired as to whether the stadium display of the pitch speed to the fans on the scoreboard is official. He was told that it was not. The display is only for fan information/entertainment. The pitch speed is of no specific interest to Major League Baseball and is not an official "statistic" like RBIs and batting average. La Russa asked if it would technically be legal to display some other number up there for a pitch speed, even if it were not accurate. The answer was - well, technically, it's not exactly illegal. So, La Russa somehow worked it out that, when Verlander was throwing, the pitch speed on display would be in the low 90s. That's what happened. The Tigers bench (particularly the coaches) were noticing that Verlander was inexplicably pitching much "slower" than he usually does - clearly referencing the scoreboard display. They were seeing a lot of 91s and 92s up there when they were used to see a lot of 99s and 100s. They were asking Verlander, "Are you feeling OK? Anything wrong?" Verlander was fine but it was getting into his head. "Why am I not throwing as hard as I usually do" he had to be thinking. It was a total mind trick. Verlander lasted 6 innings. He gave up 3 runs, 2 of which were unearned because of Verlander's own 2-run throwing error. Verlander had made an error in game 1, also. Personally, I think that was kind of cheesy on the part of Tony La Russa. It's impossible to know whether that little trick made any difference. But, nonetheless, Verlander was 0-2 as the Tigers' ace in the 2006 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals.

I wish I had that control

Tonightttt we areeeee younggggg

Baseball needs to change their televised view to this. Then I would watch

last warm up 2 seam fastball at 2:50...talks to pitching coach (Jeff Jones) then starts throwing his change up...holding the ball with middle and ring finger....that's the famous change up that takes the fastball at 96 or 97 to 86 or 87....and his curve is killer when its right!

I love the game.

great movements

His accuracy is nuts!
