Lord a mercy. It's already hard enough to hit a 3-inch ball of cowhide coming at you at 90+ mph with a two-inch stick, but when they're tossing the equivalent of video game cheat codes at you? Much respect for batters who can actually make contact with that and to the pitchers who pull it off! That pitch at 6:18...my god.

My favorite- a pitch by Seattle's Dan Altavilla broke so much that after the Red's Jordan Patterson swung and missed, the pitch continued breaking, went between his legs and was caught by the catcher. Incredible.

Jose Alvarado 2 seem at 99 was crazy like a backwards cutter

What people often forget,is that the previous pitch is usually what makes the killer pitch unhittable.One of the best two hit sequences I've seen is Alec Manoah throwing back to back pitches almost the same speed,but the first one broke hard and late to one side,the second broke hard and late to the other side.When the videos pitches were overlaid,there was no discernable difference in the delivery or trajectory until about ten feet in front of the plate,but then there was a split,and the two balls crossed the plate almost two feet apart,and hit the catcher's glove almost three feet apart.

@jayp.6166

Manoah is a freak. Broke in to the Show at 23 and immediately began throwing at near Cy Young caliber and still hasn't had a stretch of bad starts. The evolution of his two-seamer has made him eve more dominant this season. He's been using it as his out pitch a lot this season forcing hitters to have to guess between three pitches instead of two....and, all three of this pitches (4-seam, 2-seam, slider) all look the same out of his hand....which is what I believe you were eluding to in your comment

For someone who played a lot of baseball in the minors in Australia , I truly appreciate the art of these balls. I was no great achiever in the game, and often came on as a relief pitcher. MY fast ball wasn't fast , my curve ball didn't curve, and forget about breakers etc. But I actually enjoyed the challenge of being on the mound, knowing full well I had none of these in the locker. Still did OK, though.

There are very few videos that I watch more than once but this was an exception. Almost feel sorry for the batters.

That 2seam (I think) fastball by Alvarado is the nastiest pitch ever imo (EVER!)

I wasn't into baseball that much but great to see how good the Ball players really are thanks

syndergaard’s changeup at 2:45 looks like a lefty slider. insane break

The thing that I respect about pitchers in general is that the overhand throwing motion is unnatural to begin with. But these guys perform this motion as hard as they can, over and over and OVER. Many of them for YEARS. These guys are no joke- the sometimes accidentally beam the batters. Can you imagine getting beamed by a pitcher who INTENTIONALLY tries to hit you?! I remember playing Wall Ball with kids my age who played baseball and when they nailed you it was accurate and painful.

A lot of these were before they started checking for stickum. Look at the high rotation rates on breaking pitches.

At some point you're committed to the swing and the best you can hope for after the ball drops a foot and a half while you're swinging is chase it for a foul tip.

Growing up in Central America, I recall my parents taking me to Miami for a weekend holiday, some time around 1970 or 71-ish, and as luck would have it, there was a big event at some venue, where visitors could line up to "challenge" famous basketball, football, golf, et al. players. At the time I was transitioning from being a die-hard Big Red Machine fan (did a double-year as exchange student in Ohio), to becoming an Amazin' Mets groupie (as I was accepted by NYU), so I lined up for 2 hours to try to hit a pitch thrown by Nolan Ryan. I've been shot (at) twice: 1968 in Panama City and 1979 in Managua, but never was I more terrified than seeing a Nolan Ryan 12-6 curve thrown right at my temple. The question of somehow hitting that pitch is ridiculous, one is simply concentrating on not assuming a fetal position in the dirt or wetting oneself (I managed to avoid the latter, not the former). Obviously, this was not Ryan's iconic 12-6, but just a tired lob, but please leave me a bit of dignity while I brush the dirt off.

You know you're a "nasty" pitcher when you routinely make hitters look silly whether you get 'em swingin' or lookin'. The nastiest pitch I've ever bore witness to was Randy Johnson, "The Big Unit" throwing a 102 mph SLIDER! Who does that?!? Another sign that you're a "nasty" pitcher is that your stuff is so good, your catcher doesn't even have to frame your pitch.

As impressive as all of these pitches are, there’s just something extra satisfying in seeing the ball “back up” like that, especially when it’s already coming in at 100mph.

This level of pitching is what helps make baseball baseball. Nuttin' like it.

@Lighthouse in the Storm Sure, one way to describe an aspect of pitching, in baseball, would be "action at a distance". (You may have heard that term before, applied to other activities.) The pitcher pitches the ball, and depending on his talent, the ball will make dramatic movements (action) near home plate, sixty feet six inches (distance) from the pitcher. This causes the hitter to swing and miss. There are names for the different kinds of movement such as curve or slider, just to name two kinds of pitches. There are numerous videos to explain better than I can about pitching in baseball. I hope you'll look into them. Cheers!

Back in the day when we had only three channels and black and white tv’s, there was a debate if the curve ball actually curved on the way to the plate. Baseball players all said the ball did change direction. Others tried to prove it was impossible for a ball going that distance at that speed to curve. That a curve ball was an optical illusion of some sort. High Def. and super slo-mo replays put that argument to rest.

One then calculates the timing of when he should begin his swing, where he should swing, effects of the wind, etc, all is done by calculation. Its theoretically impossible to guess, anticipate or perform a swing without calculation. This is not to say a player needs to take calculus but instead the training of habit, the thousands of pitches a pro batter faces, it becomes a natural ability. The brain works at an amazing speed, with the ability to perform about a thousand operations per second. Most people calculate more in a day than they will ever realize.
