What’s fascinating about Lynn is that his speed isn’t even that fast. He’s mid-90s. You’d think to get away with throwing that many fastballs, he’d have to be like Aroldis Chapman in his pitch speed, but no.
Lynn proves that keeping things simple is the best approach. Too many pitching coaches seem to just make things complicated for their pitchers just to prove their worth.
You can see the control he has. That has to be the difference. The FB down the middle on the first pitch and then the ability to place it just a bit up and away or up and in makes the pitch look so similar to the batter then they swing under it. Batting is hard enough but when you get a pitcher that has control like that it looks next to impossible to hit the damn ball.
Listen, you just can't step into the box against a guy whose first and last name starts with the same letter. He's got immeasurable power. It's science.
@@viperdude281 Exactly. Only thing I can think of is maybe Lance Lynn's fastball release point is lower than most? So it fools Trout that way? Anyone's guess lol
Lynn spins his fastball really well. That's why it has the jumping effect at the end of its flight path and why Trout swings under it, because he instinctively expects it to drop more than it does.
The fact that we are admiring the fact the Mike trout is just swinging and missing, proves how unreal he is at the game of baseball, cap off to Lance tho, my mother worked with his grandma
The fact Trout hits 86% of the balls in the zone is crazy. *Edit* : To clear up confusion....I mean he makes contact with 86% of balls in the zone. He obviously does not achieve hits 86% of the time. Seemed like common sense but I digress.*
Not what that stat means. It’s 86 percent of the ones he swings at in the zone. There are still those that are just strikes through and through with no swing that do not get counted in this statistic
This feels like a Foolish Baseball crossover where Lance Lynn owns hall-of-famers with middle-middle heat but gets shelled by dudes that hit .200 lifetime.
As a Twins fan, watching him dominate the playoff teams in 2018 was fun but then I remember when he threw over 30 pitches and gave up a grand slam against the Pirates
Lynn's been doing this now for years, one of the few guys who just beats people with fastballs...I have a feeling it's extremely heavy too; when catching it... I love the way he utilizes it.
@@tasmayshah5539 My guess is the fastball pitches all look very similar, and Lynn is scary good at placing the ball where he wants in the strike zone. He starts with a fastball right in the middle in each at-bat, them follows a little up or in. The pitches look so similar that Trout places the bat where the ball was last pitch and misses under. Every time.
There’s always that one guy who’s got the upper hand on some of the best hitters. When I lived In Millville seen trout strike out in high school. Lived a mile from wade blvd. never knew I was watching a 3 time mvp.
Mate I'm British, never in my life have I been interested in baseball.. Then I found your channel.. The way you commentate on the videos is awesome.. Quality stuff, can't get enough!
He throws a lot of fastballs up in the zone and trout is a weaker hitter when balls are up in the zone. That is why Lance Lynn has his number he is exploiting Trout’s weakness as a hitter
Ding ding! There are virtually zero holes in Trout's game, but Lynn set him up by pounding the zone, and then jammed him with the cutter up & in. Notice Trout never chased low & away.
@@jezza_fat Does Marco shut him down too? I'm an M's fan and I didn't even realize that. Just vividly remember Paxton striking Trout out four times on his birthday a few years back. He has always dominated him
My man has big set on him. He basically says, "I'm going to throw you an F U fastball right down the middle of the plate and you can't hit it!" "How you like me now!"
Hes the reason why saint louis went to the world series. Hes an inning eater and when your 3rd best pitch can eat up over a 180 innings and win over 15 games you make the playoffs. And his playoff record is amazing. I expect to see the white Sox go to the world series and he will be the top reason why. It's why larosa got him. He knows what Lynn can do for a team.
@@chrisweidner4768 He was let go following TJ surgery. The Cardinals didn't think he would get them much more (plus Lilliquist was busy ruining Martinez, Wacha, and Rosenthal). Going elsewhere was likely the best thing for him at the time.
@@chrisweidner4768 yeah our players we made are pretty much on every team in the league almost. How many out fielder that came up in our farm system are starters on other teams. Like five I think.
This was definitely one of the best parts about our series with the Angels, that being said I'm glad we are done with LAA.. for now at least. Now talk about the Yerminator!
Loved Lance when he was a Cardinal. You knew what was coming most of the time but he could put slight cut and sink to it and hit corners. Fun to watch.
No, we were up three games to one on the giants when he air mailed the ball into center feild and ended that game and we never recovered. He made a curse for us that wont go away for a long time.
lance played on my brothers travel baseball team when they were like 13 years old. it was incredible watchin him pitch even that young , everyone knew he was a no doubt pro at that age
Brilliant decision to pull DeGrom after 6 and 77 pitches. They could have let him throw the 7th and then pull him and let the bullpen blow the lead then. Wait... that’s still an L... damnit!
Dude, the way the ball goes to the zone is crazy. Like, when the ball get of fro his hand it's "change" the way it goes. Looking from behind i was thinking "well this ball goes to the corner," but was on center. I think Trout is studing my mans pitches, next time gonna be fun to watch this duel.
Lynns control is what amazes me. Same pitch for strike one and two except the second pitch is just up and away or up and in. How hard is it to gage the difference when it is coming in at 95+. Plus that fast ball is on a string and doesnt dip AT ALL. crazy pitch control. Love to watch it.
Yeah but Lynn was throwing pretty much spot on in the entire strike zone at will...not gonna be easy to locate 90+ mph fastballs that are served all over the box.
Jomboy idk if you see comments or not, but the other day I was watching a whitesox game when my friend who has never watched a full game of baseball in his life came over. Dallas Keuchel was pitching and he was like wait I think I know who that is, and I was like no way you do who, and he was like Lance Lynn? And I said no but how the heck do you know who that is? He was like all I know is that he made Mike Trout look bad, and I had seen your video earlier so I knew what he was talking about. But yeah after that we had like a solid 10 minute conversation about baseball and he said the next time Lance Lynn was pitching he wanted to watch. So all in all great job growing the game!
With a league full of batters that are apparently amazing fastball hitters, somehow Lance Lynn has thrived. He’s truly a pitcher. He gets the mind games.
Lance Lynn is a beast Has been since he first came up in 2011 Been watching him since then He really started challenging people with his fastball like that in 2013. He will mix in a curve and a cutter then go right back to that 4 seam fastball and blow you away with it at 94-98 mph because of the pitch slot and the arm angle as well as the speed compared to thr other pitches. Its a sneaky fast pitch that he hides better than most pitchers. Next thing the batter knows they are swinging at air cause even when they are looking for it its hard to catch up to. Was sad to see Lynn leave Stl.
Fun fact, Lance Lynn was a hell of a hitter in high school. He finished with 47 home runs in high school. I saw him hit a home run in the semi state that landed on a church roof that stands 100 plus feet behind the wall in left field.
Righty on righty, can hit up and in with ease because of the good fastball command, it kinda makes sense. Trout has a bit of a hole in his swing up and in, and for the most part will just give that to pitchers who paint it. Really smart pitching by lynn in that final AB. Command over your pitches like that, especially at high velo is a real money maker. Cool breakdown!

Lance Lynn dominates a great fastball hitter because he has one of the best fastballs in baseball. And that is because he can move a fastball in all directions with alot of movement in all directions. His cutter , 2 seam, 4 seam combo is one of the best, you never know which direction its going to move, not to mention he wraps his wrist around the ball nicely and makes it hard to pick up the spin out of his hand, and he throws across his body slightly, so all of that combined, the movement with the angles, and deception is why he has been one of the better horses in baseball for quite a few years now. He has had one hell of an impressive major league career... and he spins the baseball really well, and hes a big guy, pretty good extension toward home plate and hes right on top of the hitter.. but that across the body mechanics is very hard on righties.
If you’re a pro that can get away with throwing almost 90% fastballs, you’re a very interesting pitcher to me

And that is because he can move a fastball in all directions with alot of movement in all directions. His cutter , 2 seam, 4 seam combo is one of the best, you never know which direction its going to move, not to mention he wraps his wrist around the ball nicely and makes it hard to pick up the spin out of his hand, and he throws across his body slightly, so all of that combined, the movement with the angles, and deception is why he has been one of the better horses in baseball for quite a few years now. He has had one hell of an impressive major league career... and he spins the baseball really well, and hes a big guy, pretty good extension toward home plate and hes right on top of the hitter.. but that across the body mechanics is very hard on righties.
And now I'm trying to think if he is back with his original manager. LaRussa.. I think Lynn is almost that old...
Appreciate the data on this. Keep doing the data based breakdowns!
I remember watching LL pitch in college at Ole Miss. he was a stud and constantly rung dudes up with fast balls.
