@Mills117.... he died. You really need to have some empathy. I know it was wrong to take drugs but he lost his life as well, it was a bad decision that cost him his life. Honestly you should still care
Wow some of those come backers would have been brutal if it wasn't for quick reactions. Exit velocity at 98 mph coming straight back at my face? No thank you
@@partyplace15 I really wouldn't know I played hockey when I was in school. Catching a ball coming back at you is still insane though. Especially if it's coming back faster.
1:10 my God I feel so bad for Cobb. He took one hard shot to the head and that probably shook him so much having that ball come here inches away from his old injury.
indy_the_person yeah a kid that i use to play ball with is actually his cousin so every time i see something of Cobb I always think of him, and ive see him take a few balls off the mound as well, scary stuff
You’re probably not wrong, but I’m sure there’s a small part of them that’s grateful that they didn’t give the pitcher a concussion or worse with a line drive up to the mound.
I love it when infielders, and pitchers make heads up plays, seconds before the ball reaches them, and react with great reflexes, which in my book is great defense on the diamond.
I never played baseball but as a fan, you have to appreciate the reaction times these players have- especially the pitchers. They have no protection out there.
besides, you do know that papers masks do precisely nothing to stop a virus don't you? or do you know something the manufacturers of those masks don't know?
But you get to prepare and see the wind up of the pitcher before tracking the ball's path. The ball comes right back at the pitcher very rarely. They aren't prepared to expect it every time like a batter. Besides, the ball comes back to the pitcher faster than the pitch. We're really talking about reactions that are in under 200ms for the pitcher.
Ive had baseball hit directly from my pitch straight to me more times than I can count, and I’ve caught practically all of them. You’d be surprised how good your chances of catching it are when you take your fight or flight reactions into account.
Reminds me of an incident when I was playing "over the line" on the street when I was a teenager. An older brother of one of my friends strongly disliked me and had threatened me a few times. I was pitching and he was batting. We used a softball to play this game. He told me he was going to hit the ball right at my head and "shove it right down my throat." His team was losing by one run and it was the 9th inning with his being the last out I needed. He did as promised and hit the ball very hard so it was coming directly at my face at a high rate of speed. Just like these pitchers I instinctively threw my glove up in front of my face and then moved my head to the right quickly. I caught the ball and his team lost, something they said would never happen. I can't imagine what would have happened if I hadn't acted so quickly.
I'm not a baseball fan, but those plays were absolutely incredible! The title of the video says it all, those balls were caught literally in the same second they were pitched. Unbelievable!
I was a 3rd baseman in little league, high school, and college and there is a reason they call it the "hot corner". You have to have good hands, fast reflexes, a good arm and good vision...and a nut cup for sure.
I played hockey most of my life and was never concerned about getting hurt because of all the equipment we had , but when I played baseball primarily second base that ball comes fast and hard and at times it's scary because that ball can hurt you and getting in front of line shots and ground balls is not easy because alot of times the ball would take a wierd hop and hit you in the face or your head , these pitchers are very brave because that ball is coming at you hard and fast and can actually kill you if hit in the head !
Everyone is talking about how scary these must have been, but imagine being a batter and fucking crushing the ball to have people catch these insane throws by momentarily breaking all anatomical laws on a reaction. God, I'd be PISSED.
@@nylepentik2696 Certain reactions - pain is an example - are the result of sensation which goes from the body part feeling pain to the spine, and back to the body part which pulls away. Brain is not involved. Muscle memory is another example. Instinct may have been the wrong word for this process. I believe this was more muscle memory than anything else, due to a very great deal of practice.
@@julieenslow5915 that may be the stupidest thing ive ever heard. This was literally taught in primary school. Brain is involved in everything, even pain.
@@nylepentik2696 You have never pulled your hand away from something before you realized it was hot? Do your homework, check it out. The brain feels pain after it happens - but you can react to the pain before you know you have been hurt. Muscle memory also does not use the brain to respond initially. The brain IS involved in conditioning the muscles, but once a particular movement is fully learned and repeated a huge number of times the body can respond to stimulus without thought.
What’s funny is that I think some of these weren’t even meant to be catches, but rather the pitcher just trying to cover his face and getting lucky, lol.
Strongz Z I can vividly remember how scary it was getting drilled when I played with my friends in high school. I can only imagine how terrifying it can be when that happens in the majors.
kDubuya yeah it maybe step one, but when a ball is getting hit at you at 100+, you're more worried about your own personal well being rather than the fundamentals of the game. Being a 3rd baseman and pitcher, shit gets on you quick. I've saved my own life multiple times by getting out of the way, rather than worrying about fundamentals.
Pitcher is closer to the plate though. At least the 3rd baseman can focus on spotting where the hit is going. The pitcher is half way through his follow through and the ball is right there in his face.
@@chucksherron pitchers are expected to move out of the way 3b has to make the play. Im not saying the reaction time is the same my point is how many come back liners do you see the pitcher make plays on vs 3b. Plus if the hitter rips it directly up the middle its the pitchers fault he shouldve placed the pitch better lol
I got even more respect for the pitchers after seeing this video :) I could never stand there knowing that I’m probably gonna get hit by the ball so hard
"I could have been killt, or even worse." Imagine catching a ball at 90+ mph and having a max adrenaline surge at the same time. That surge is what takes the breath out of you.
You're going to need to add some dead space at the end of the videos. The last one was blocked by the ads that popped up and you couldn't see the catch.
Getting more and more into this sport me! Can understand the catcher the pitcher and the base standers having a glove but wouldn't it make it more challenging for outfielders to have no glove? There's no gloves in Cricket apart from the wicket keeper..or does a baseball seriously hurt?
As a pitcher myself I understand the feeling of “oh my god how did I do that” because the amount of times I have had a ball right back to me at such fast speeds for how old I am is very exhilarating
One time when I was at third, I fully extended and dove for a hard line drive down the line. I got in on a short hop, jumped up, and threw a laser to first.... Just to see the ump call it foul
Question: Why don't pitchers wear batting helmets with the jaw protector on both sides? Is there a rule or is it merely a "baseball" thing? It could save a life or certainly a serious injury.
The sheer skill that these men have is just incredible. It's like they have the base connected to a bungee cord that just returns back to them after they throw it!
3:51 the scariest
4:45 the most impressive

Even when wearing a mitt and you failed to catch the ball in a proper way. It is painful and can break your hand.
0:48 I also love how Encarnacion reacts immediately and stops running.
3:10 guy starts running before he hits the ball
name not found its called a slap
Drag hitting. Ichiro used to do it all the time .
Well, that’s just common sense. He hit it straight at the pitcher, in the middle. He would want to run early. If he didn’t, he would get out
It’s called slap hitting
3:34 I love that sign in the background it’s. Nintendo
