Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2022
- Kevin Gausman's splitter is one of the filthiest pitches in baseball.
In 2021, Gausman had a .133 batting average against his splitter with a 46% whiff rate.
His Splitter grip also incredibly unique. Gausman discusses his splitter with a ton of detail. Pitchers and pitching coaches, it's a must watch.

It's so enlightening to hear him say that some guys pronate well and other guys snap off breaking balls well but it's rare for someone to be good at both. I could never throw change ups effectively but I can throw every type of breaking ball well. Makes sense now that my wrist is just built to go one way better than the other.
yeah man. bodies are built different. In basketball it’s a mistake to build your shot based on someone else. Things like wrist flexibility make it difficult to comfortably put the hand in certain positions. It’s not talked about enough.
Danm im the complete opposite. Changeup is like my best pitch but I don't throw it whatsoever because I don't wanna kill my velo
@@lightlybatteredjustcrispy Throwing a changeup won't kill your velo, if it's your best pitch use it a lot and get comfortable with it.
This is pitching porn. It's wild how a slight change can make so much difference. The thumb placement when he wants it for a strike compared to a nasty one with a lot of movement is insane. Then he pushes his thumb against his index????
His splitter is a top 10 pitch in baseball.
Amen!
Lmaoooo Pitching Porn 🐺😂😂😂😂
Forever Giant. Love watching you pitch dude.
forever giant…?
def not a forever Giant lol
@@MacLaw3084 It's just an expression. It means I loved watching him play and wish he was still on the Giants.
Man I'll miss Gasman in Giants uniform. He's been great and great personality. You'll be missed.
So stoked to see this guy pitch on toronto hes got nasty stuff
Props to Gausman for sharing so much info!
Right on Kevin. Go 2022 Blue Jays Go!
First 5 starts for jays 31 innins pitched 41 strikeouts and ZERO walks ERA 2.27
I LOVE videos like this!! I could listen to this all day long. Also he's coming to my Jays let's goooooooo
Loved his description. Maybe more detailed than any other pitcher I've interviewed.
@@PitchingNinjaVideos I now know not to panic when I hear buck Martinez say Gausman has a blood blister hahaha
@@erikdixon8464 imma miss buck
I found this fascinating. Giants should have never let him go ugggghh. Seems like a great insightful guy too.
That is a very interesting grip. Certainly explains the tail.
The bigger the blister the better my splitter. What the fuckin hell.....once I had a blood blister I had 2 options. Changeup and slider thats it
Funny thing him showing this isn't like even a MLB pitch could pick this up easily maybe even never some pitches are perfect for that one pitcher but maybe a highschool kid might see this and be able to work on it over years
That’s what I’m doing in highschool rn
That's pretty similar to Maddux's changeup grip, middle finger was spaced just slightly more, and thumb a little bit more under.
It's like half a circle change, almost Airbender-esque but moreso down.
At 55yo I am taking my dog to the dog park and going to try Gausman grip when I throw my dog the ball. To me it is similar to a circle change. And yes, I still throw in the 80s. It is because of all the long toss with my dog. Love these videos. I still want to be the 5th beetle
On Pitching 🥷.
When I saw where his thumb and forefinger were, I saw elements of a circle change too.
Welcome to Toronto - let's go!
What makes a pitch? Its spin axis? The Grip? Its flight characteristics and movement? Because that’s a changeup in all but movement axis
You throw it. You name it.
Jays be lovin this guy 🙏
might steal this grip
hurston waldrep just said he learned how to throw his splitter from this vid lol
That's Brilliant!!! I can't wait to try that!
These videos are so neat
Can we get a Batting Ninja?
Yo, George Kirby just shouted this video out on the broadcast! Said he learned Gausman's splitter grip from your vid, how cool is that?
@Pitching Ninja isn’t it the same spin as a change up ?
Thank you San Francisco for not extending an offer to this guy
Wish him success with the blue jays 😁 gonna miss you buddy!
Ese pitcheo de tira cómo recta o tengo q moverme la canilla con un movimiento
When I played baseball as a kid, I never understood this pitch. I could always see the pitcher's fingers split, and I knew not to swing at it because it wasn't going to hit the strike zone. This seemed like a junk pitch that never deceived me.
Mcclanahan does the same grip but calls it a changeup.
I throw a thumb ball where I release it off my thumb.
One seam circle change. If he doesn't tuck his thumb.
He’s the anti-Harden in terms of movement and spin on the split
Yet another orioles pitcher who got shipped out and became great. :( I wish we would’ve held onto him.
Man I always saw his. potential and raw stuff, and of course he puts it all together after his time with baltimore smh
The grip really isn’t that far away from a circle change
It was a big mistake not making an offer to this guy.
Splewball
Gaus ball
Gausy should ditch the slider in favor of a cutter
1 year later his slider is a good third pitch
@@bockstaboi6638 per fangraphs, his slider was worth -4.4 runs in 2022. That’s a below average pitch. Not by much, but still below average.
so it's a screwball?
Seems more like a splange
First
I feel like those 3 fingers make it cut rightys to the down and in side and down and away to leftys
