Playing Mlb The Show as someone who's never played organized baseball and this was super useful
This is exactly what I needed. I dont watch or play baseball, but i been playing Super Mega Baseball and knew there must be some pitching theory was missing. Cant wait to try this
Dan is a great instructor.
This video is one of the best articulated video I’ve seen! It’s perfect for the younger pitcher who wants to take his pitching to the next level! Well Done!
thanks!
You know you're a catcher when - I thought you were sitting in a chair the first few minutes!! You didn't even move or feel awkward. It was such a natural stance! Great video, explains so much and makes complete sense and explain it from both POV. Thanks!
Haha thanks! I catch a lot of bullpens and flatgrounds for the kids I worked with, so I’ve spent my share of time down in the squat! Thanks for watching!
I'm a JV coach. Never played the game. This is very helpful. I'll be sharing this with my pitchers.
Very good talker. A lot of people have knowledge but aren’t confident in the delivery.good stuff
Thank you!
This is the best tutorial on the subject that I’ve come across. So helpful for understanding strategy!
Great to hear!
This is a professor talk!!! Love it.
Glad you liked it!
@@DanBlewett You now got one more subscriber from Beijing CHINA ;)
Thanks man, very helpful and informative
Makes so much sense when you explain it that way. Thanks!
You're welcome!
Absolutely wonderful explanations about hitting and pitching on different counts and the advantages of doing so.
Thanks Ryan! More pitching videos and strike zones concepts are due out next week - be on the lookout and subscribe to my newsletter for updates.

Will do and appreciate all of the time and effort that you put forth in making the videos. You’ll always get an auto-thumbs up from me even before starting the video. This is becoming my #1 channel to get baseball info/knowledge from.
Dan I’ve started keeping score of baseballs games and your channel has greatly improved my understanding of the game. Thanks so much for your content. Great channel!
Glad to help!
Great content !
Very informative! Thanks!
This was excellent. Exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful video! Really informational
Glad it was helpful!
Absolute. And this is so hard to teach to youngsters.
I played every position except catcher, but I ended up at third base or pitcher the most. I never threw a ball on purpose. I was throwing strikes every time, and if I missed the strike zone, it was a ball. I was never coached to throw anything but strikes. We may have intentionally walked a batter, but I don’t remember doing that.
I kind of missed your point regarding “we would rather want the batter put the ball into play”.
I understand and agree with the concept.
What I didn’t catch, is what pitch does the pitcher actually do on 0-2 ?
Meaning, on a 0-2 count,
A pitcher who would want the batter put the ball into play but make a weak contact, what pitch would such a pitcher pitch?
Vs
A pitcher who was attempting to strike out the batter, what pitch would he have chosen, and WHY would that pitch attempt tend to drive his pitch count from what was 0-2, into 1-2 / 2-2 / 3-2 ?
this video helps explain 1-2, 0-2 locations for breaking balls: ua-cam.com/video/qOJkZR8vEzA/v-deo.html
Great information
thanks - an new version of this is found here: ua-cam.com/video/hlYRagZaWSg/v-deo.html
Good stuff! How about a 2-1 count?
throw to a half
Very nice carpet
I actually just re-did this video with no carpet! ua-cam.com/video/hlYRagZaWSg/v-deo.html
@@DanBlewett i actually think it serves a purpose right here tbh lol!
thanks, and true - I just like to update older ones periodically, thanks for watching and for the carpet love
Someone send this video to my Phillies please I’ll pay for the dvd just send it lol
But my coach calls everything and I have no say.
Yeah, that’s unfortunate. I know that this is a common issue that many pitchers face. Consider having a conversation with him.
I coach Little League (I know, I know) and I refuse to call pitches for the kids. I talk to my pitchers and catchers and discuss strategies and philosophies that I would like to see them practice. I am always available to talk about what pitch to throw in situations AFTER the inning is over. This way the kids can learn from their successes and mistakes.
I haven't called a single pitch this year for our 15 & 16 year olds. Last year, there were a couple of games where I called 2 or 3 pitches in certain situations. Kids can't learn this stuff if the have an adult making all the calls.
@@mistamuthafuka I totally agree - when they see the cause and effect AFTER, its just like real life - you touch a hot stove, you get burned. Make a certain pitch call and you see the result. Then, talk about it. You're definitely (in my opinion) doing the right thing!
