The Importance of Pitch Movement

Ryan Dempster and Harold Reynolds talk through the importance of having movement on your off-speed pitches inside Studio 42.

You don't get these kinds of sound effects from any other baseball experts out there. This is why MLB Network is the best!

[@PerkyPineapple]

Dempster is 46 and can get this kind of movement still, couldn't imagine what a current MLB pitcher can do from this angle.

That catcher's got to squeeze it better.

[@JulianWyllie]

Great demonstration!

[@nicoperson]

Great demo. Tough to really understand from watching at home or at the game- just how hard it is to predict these. Not to mention the backstop screaming at you. Imagine Felix Bautista throwing 100-103 at you now. Wild.

I need the link to Al Leiter's! I'd love to see how his pitches move at his age now. Ryan does a great job here as well.
