What happens if your right foot comes off the rubber say 2 inches in your deliver then you put is back on the rubber is that a balk.

I'm learning about baseball for the first time and your video was very informative!

Even my coach was impressed

I'm 14 and I play for rebault high school going into my sophomore year I'm gonna turn 15 in August 20th I been working on my curveball for a year I see some progress thank you so much

Great video but do you know how players that play every position should break theirs in?

I would throw a high outside fastball

I’m a 4 time All American. 5’11” 210 right topping out at 95. It’s capped hard work

nice. remember if the pitcher screws up without a runner on , it is usually an illegal pitch call.

I am small and 10 and can throw 51

Way too many rules. It's no wonder baseball is hard to watch.

Tbh , it depends on my arsenal , but if possible i will call a pitch to outside low probably a split finger fastball or fork ball. Even if batter swings small break will make him hit a grounder at best

Slider and out so the batter thinks I’m giving him a chance

My brother is 12 years old and he can throw 73

You can't teach someone who throws 65-70 mph to throw 90. You're either born with or you're not. My fastball was like most pitchers changeup. 65-70 was as hard as i could throw when i played

So in our youth league the 3rd to 1st move is still legal. Can a pitcher fake to 3rd, turn/ replace feet (now disengaged from rubber) and seeing R1 has taken off already then run at him and throw to 2nd basemen who has cut down the basepath? Or does the pitcher have to throw to first after the fake to 3rd? Hopefully that makes sense lol

Thank you, Dan, for uploading this video about the intricacies involved in balking. I knew a few, but not all of these rules. 👍👍❤️

Great video, great simple explanation. Thank you.

Stay back

I’m 12 but I just played an all star game against a kid who is also twelve, But is frickin’ six foot 1! I mean, this kid is taller than his dad! We clocked him and this guy can throw 75 on the mound easily! And we are on a 45 foot mound.

i am 11 and the hardest i have thrown is 65 but what i normally throw is about 60

do you think a basketwebb is a good choice for 3rd and pitcher

I like the shirt you're wearing! Where do I get one?

I've enjoyed your other videos, but this one really misses the mark for me. This dismisses the dangers of baseball and the likelihood of certain injuries without citing any data or studies. In fact, baseball is one of the most dangerous sports, particularly for young boys, as is supported by data about the rates of injury in sports. The part about facemasks on helmet particularly bothers me. Facial injuries are especially common in baseball and have the potential to be severe and expensive. Facemasks could drastically reduce those injuries by simply attaching to a piece of equipment players are already required to wear. But they're not common, and never used by major leaguers on TV, so we have a chicken and egg problem where nobody wants to stand out by using one. I was hoping this video would talk about the rate of facial injuries in baseball and point out that facemasks, while uncommon, can reduce that risk substantially. Instead it just seems to perpetuate the false notion that baseball isn't dangerous and misinforms parents about the risks.

i’m 11 and we faced a dude throwing 82

Thoughts on some drills etc to help a youth pitcher see and understand how to thrust the chest forward to fix the “too tall” issue at delivery? Do we focus on drift….as in hips sliding to the plate? Do we mention the back leg/knee and need to bend it a bit more to allow for downward movement to then push off the rubber and drive the body down? How to go about this at the specific point that helps without risking undoing any progress made on delivery mechanics in general?

This video contains probably the biggest misconception about balks as they relate to a pitcher's "natural motion." The pitcher can change how he comes set with each pitch if he wants. He can do a slide step, a low leg kick, a high leg kick, etc., from pitch to pitch. If he commits a balk, he commits a balk. There is no such thing as "If he does it each time, it's legal." Doing something illegal all of the time doesn't miraculously make it legal. Nor does doing something legal and different from pitch to pitch suddenly make it illegal. The "natural motion" refers to delivering the actual pitch, as in he fakes delivering a pitch.

You're a great coach. Now I understand perfectly. Thank you

Wow! Super informative video. I thought I knew what a balk was before this video but I was way off! Thanks

Slider outside low

I'm not sure how I feel about this reasoning.

I found this very helpful

This was very helpful! I’m going on my first date with a baseball player tomorrow and I realized I didn’t really know much about baseball! But know a lot more! Thank you!!!! 🙏 ⚾️

Me who turned 13 🗿

Cutter

We love your content Coach Dan. Thanks for all you do. Liked and subscribed!

For me massive velocity after running distance, sprints, weight program, cutting hand splitting wood saw mid 90s at 22 23

I’m 15 and Geri g into the mid 60’s with not the greatest Technique and trying to figure out if you have anymore videos on how to improve my technique great video though now I have a benchmark

There is also the location of the fastball for the signs. So I am guessing - 1. For a high fastball - a fist up and one finger straight up. The inverse of the traditional fastball signal. 2. Or a low fastball - the traditional sign for a fastball - one straight finger downward, but bring it close to the plate's dirt to tell the pitcher to throw that fast ball close to the grass. NOTE: Low fastballs are risky because there is a risk you can get a passed ball or even a wild pitch - so use low fast balls sparingly unless you can imagine hitting exactly the target where the catcher will know you will go way down with the ball towards the dirt and the catcher can react safely to it with one's glove, and can use one's body to stop the ball if there is a chance that ball will ricochet wildly past the catcher.

I have been saying this for years. In high level /pro ball if you run up the score, steal, bunt, after you are up by 6 or more runs you get hit in the ribs next time at bat! Youth tournaments have got it all wrong and teaching wrong lessons to kids. Never run up the score past 6 runs.

We just played a tournament this past weekend on feilds with 180ft fences. Our best player hit a home run in his first at bat, and the opponent intentionally walked him with the bases loaded in the last inning. We lost 10-2. You read that right. They were up 10-1 and intentionally walked in a run. The home run in the first was the only run we had scored. They got the next kid out to end the game...HOORAY! Parents cheered and seemed to have no issue with it. Smart baseball, right? Did I mention these are 10 year olds? Again, not a typo. We were the last seed for bracket play, played the same team in the first round, and they did it again when they again already had a sizeable lead. I spoke with the tournament director, who agreed he would talk to his rules committee about banning intenional walks for all 12 and under tournaments.

I don’t understand how it goes to the other side when you overload the sidw

totally agree with almost all of this! I would add that hardly any of the tournaments don't always follow USA baseball pitch counts. some are total innings and some are total outs. anything over 20 pitches is a day off. hardly anyone follows this in weekend tournaments. kids arms are needlessly taxed.

Thanks

What's the most common pitcher injury?

Thanks

What should I make the subject

The wrist flip is a great drill to use to get your wrist loose, from a pitchers prospective. It is not something you spend a lot of time on, but it is good to use.

That high stinky cheeese

Tey throwing it with 5 nails dug into ball but dont break your wrist when you release the ball
