Wow that's a pretty accurate measurement. However the correct answer is .359 seconds, the announcer said ball was going 104.8mph and since it has to travel 55ft to the pitcher the calculation comes out to be .359
@@oddreviews7645maybe 104.8mph is exit velocity The velocity should drop by 8-10% by the time it reaches the pitcher. sorry for my stupid bad english😢
I pitched when I was younger and loved getting line drives hit right back at me. Of course, they weren't coming 105 mph. I always caught them and made it look easy. The other kids would look in amazement.
Great reflexes! I used to play slow pitch softball. It was a lot if fun with friends. One season I was pitcher for my team and after every pitch I'd always hold my glove out in front of me, for that exact reason. And one time a big dude hit the ball right into my glove, almost before I knew what was happening. Glad it didn't hit my face!
There was a point when i stopped pitching batting practice to my 12 year old son unless I had a screen to hide behind. I can't imagine pitching to a pro batter.
The fact his pitch ends in a fieldable position is nice to see. Guys, throw so hard but couldn't put a glove on anything because they are basically turned
The decision to go from blocking your body or making a play on the ball comes almost off muscle memory after so many years playing the game. Even with muscle memory, those reflexes of his are amazing! That would have smashed my face ... exactly why my baseball career stopped in college.
He saw him make the catch and that he was out. Nothing more to do than walk to dugout. He would have cared, I'm sure, had it hit Yamamoto and he was hurt.
As displayed here, baseball players have incredibly fast reaction and processing times. He went through the emotional gambit over a period of about 0.5ms.
How many shitty pitchers check to see if the batter is OK after hitting them? The batter here clearly saw the pitcher catch the ball, what is there to check on? Do hitters check on the outfielder after they catch the ball?
Shouldn't pitchers wear a head and face protection? Would be too late if someone gets injured really seriously which I suspect may have happened already...
Don't know. Saw Al Bumbry hit a liner off Juan Berenguer's head. It took several minutes for play to resume but the pitcher was okay. Probably had a bad headache for a while.
As the other comments said, it depends. My wife was an RN in the neuro ICU for years and saw seemingly minor head bumps lead to strokes and death and major head injuries need little more than stitches. It is so dependent on where in the head it’s hit, and the subsequent bleeding under the skull it causes. That ball hits his temple, he’s likely dead or TBI. Forehead? Nasty lump, lots of bleeding, and concussion, but recovers fine. Just no way to say for sure which is why head injuries are so scary.
It was approximately 0.36 seconds from bat to mitt. I used my stopwatch with the video at 0.25 speed to determine that.
Going frame-by-frame with . and , on 720p60, I counted 22 frames.
22/60=0.366...
You were spot on with the stopwatch.
I would've been knocked out. 😴 😂 ⚾️ The guy has otherworldly reflexes.

Not sure that's even a baseball play as much as it is pure life saving instinct. Amazing.
Mans life flashed in front of his face
But he dodged the ball and made the catch. Life saving instinct wouldve been just a dodge
Who said he's not clutch ? That's a catch with his life on the line !
Who said he wasn't clutch
The clutchest play possible haha
loll i love how the catcher is relieved
😂🎉 0:25
that’s his teammate so yeah
And it was in that moment, all that flexibility training paid off.
I hope he has kids because that's some amazing dad reflexes.
Yamamoto is auditioning for the next The Matrix movie. 😂 I love pausing the video about 10 times to see the different fan reactions!

Haha I love it
Yea that is absolutely incredibly hard best catch by the pitcher of the year so far
He is awesome!
These are the reflexes of a samurai!

That was a dope catch tho

That catch was sooo fast even the camera had no slo-mo!
THAT WAS SOLID SKILL DUDE!
Dude is a ninja
Ninja 🥷 reflex’s

thats some impressive reaction time
Bruh that was impressive. Line drive ball straight to the face if he didnt catch that omg.
IS NOBODY GONNA SAY IT ?
YAMAMOTO WENT INTO ULTRA INSTINCT MODE ✌😎💙
this is incredibly insensitive and disrespectful. you still have time to delete this. 🙁
That Pitchers got skills and incredible reflexes?!? Go Yamamoto!! ⚾️💥💥🏆
I watched the game but missed that. He may not win the Cy Young but he might get a gold glove.
Great reflexes!

All of that is instincts kicking in overdrive
Yoshinobu Yamamotoed his pants after that one. 😂😂😂
The batter is like, oh well better luck next time! 😅
Dodgers this season are the best base ball to watch in the past 10 years ❤❤❤❤
That's gotta get his heart pounding just a lil bit harder
Surprised he didn’t need 10 minutes for new pants!
Later on if I was him I’d be like, “dude I’m such a badass!!!”
Hahaha
@@enshk79 later on I’d be like, “I’m such a clown!”
Glad he's okay!
Well done, Grasshopper - Kung Fu.

This is why I was afraid to pitch in high school
It’s a legit fear
Good to see he didn't have to go to the hospital.
That kid is FANTASTIC!
The individual reactions are great
Like catching a fly with chopstix...
He is the One!
After inning was over he went through the tunnel, probably to the bathroom to check himself.
Wax on wax off yamamoto san
This is why I can't understand why anyone would want to be a pitcher but thank goodness he's ok.
CATCHING NINJA!
日本の投手は投げたあとバランスが良いので捕れました。特に山本は投げたあとグラブが打者に向くようなフィニッシュになるように工夫しています。
Japan knows how to get their pitchers ready!! Much respect 🫡 🇯🇵
Don't call him Charlie Brown. That was one helluva catch.
Dude turned God Mode on. Not fair at all.
Neo would be proud
Interesting audience reaction.
Both him and Ohtani with those near miss to the face except Ohtani was saved by BatBoy
That’s like catching a fly with your chopsticks!
Here is your wakeup call.
It was so fast that the people's reactions were delayed.
It's their job. It's what they do. That being said.....HOLY COW!!!!!!
Hesitation is defeat.

Hey Disney you need start treating mlb the way it deserves to be treated... this sport is in America’s dna
Bro hit a mean whip
The batter didn’t care he almost hurt someone really bad.
He saw him make the catch and that he was out. Nothing more to do than walk to dugout. He would have cared, I'm sure, had it hit Yamamoto and he was hurt.
Rosario kinda winced there but immediately recognized Yamamoto was fine.
As displayed here, baseball players have incredibly fast reaction and processing times. He went through the emotional gambit over a period of about 0.5ms.
Wait, so you think the battee tried to intentionally hurt him?
He was him all along
That is how it's done grasshopper
Kaz Ishii would have like to make that catch.
Shitty hitter didn't even check on him

No sportsmanship, no humanity, pure ego

these japanese pitchers are different!

scary scenario
👏👏👏👏
That's good

That was too close...
バッターは打球が投手の顔に当たりかけても、奇跡的に回避しても何も気にしません😂😂😂
狙って打ったが、キャッチされて残念がってる様子に見えなくもない
Wow.
Asian skill 💪
Would’ve missed his face by an inch
But way cool catch
What age group
Nightmares.
Increase the distance between batter and pitcher
Rosario showed zero concern, when the ball almost took out Yama’s face. #letsbeabetterhuman
Obviously you are blind! Pay attention in slow-mo and then come back and apologize!
I was thinking the same thing.. he kind of looked pissed off that it didn’t.
I know, that was cold. He looked more upset it was caught.
id need a 🚽 break after that 😂
Previously on Shogun…
😮
Self defense
Shouldn't pitchers wear a head and face protection? Would be too late if someone gets injured really seriously which I suspect may have happened already...
I'm shocked pitchers are not required to wear some sort of facial protection. Maybe some see through protective mask.
Is this were to hit him right on his head what are the chances that it would kill him?
Don't know. Saw Al Bumbry hit a liner off Juan Berenguer's head. It took several minutes for play to resume but the pitcher was okay. Probably had a bad headache for a while.
If it right at the hardest part of the head, probably just a concussion
But if it was in the softer spots … death is possible
As the other comments said, it depends. My wife was an RN in the neuro ICU for years and saw seemingly minor head bumps lead to strokes and death and major head injuries need little more than stitches.
