Charlie Hough Teaches the Knuckleball: Part 6
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лют 2024
- Charlie Hough guest instructed Knuckleball Nation's Los Angeles Clinic on January 14th, 2024. Hough pitched 24 years in the Major Leagues throwing the knuckleball for the Dodgers, White Sox, Rangers and Marlins; throwing the first pitch in Marlins' franchise history; a knuckleball that clipped the inside corner.
He served as Major League Pitching Coach for six seasons with the Mets and Dodgers. Kenley Jansen often says that Charlie saved his career, and RA Dickey gives Hough a lot of credit for his Cy Young Award.
Here, he works with 15-year-old Maxton from Westlake Village, California. He slows him down, stresses the important of balance, asks him to throw a straight fastball and sees a bright future for the young pitcher.

Charlie still has lots of fans in Texas, we loved the guy!!!
Watching charlie through these ... he reminds me of Yoda from star wars !! :D
A little bit. He's been the master for more than four decades. And he was taught by Hall of Famer Hoyt Wilhelm who was born back in 1922. So, Charlie mentored me, but, by the transitive property, I was actually mentored by Wilhelm... right? Wilhelm is the blue floating Jedi ghost who taught Yoda... what I'm trying to say is that the knuckleball info passed down to me echoes through baseball history.
@@KnuckleballNation I had a former friend back in the day we use to pitch to each other ... he had a REALLY good one that would have been MLB pitch level .. but he couldnt see himself entering baseball. Such a waste.
Thanks again for all the knowledge of the pitch .. I never was able to get close to one then 6-7 rotations ... maybe at 51 now I could !! ha
Hi chris, do you remember that japanese guy ryo sanegawa that came to the clinic in 2016? Im curios of what niekro had to say about his knuckleball
I do remember him and he threw a good one but it went nowhere. I believe he works the front office for the Orix Buffaloes in the Japanese major leagues. He may be a social media director? He used to keep in touch but I haven't heard from him in a while.
@@KnuckleballNationwhat do you mean it went no where ? Like it didn’t move that much? Is everyone’s knuckleball different
@@Elijahgavi No. As in, he didn't play professionally.
The balls should have a stripe for practice so the spin can be seen easily. Just a thought…
I've done this in the past then was accused of faking the Knuckleballs that I recorded, but you are right. We should do that for knuckleball training regardless of what the Internet thinks
