I did not think I'd sit through 5 minutes of the same play being repeated. But I couldn't look away. Good video.
Now I'm on a binge, thank you
Thanks Nargly, I'll have a similar one up soon be sure to be on the look out ;)
I was thinking that (halfway in) it was so consistently excellent, it got kind of boring. ;-)
@@60ft6inProductions Pudge?
The game calling is even better but not as exciting to watch. Also impossible to see are the 550+ fewer steals attempted against the Cardinals than any other team since Yadi came to the league. I've seen a runner get 12 steps in before the ball reached the plate and Yadi still threw them out at 2nd. Incredible stuff.
What a wild and awesome stat. Had to go and look it up myself...it is insane how less frequently teams even TRY to steal against the Cards since 2007. They have been in the top 3 of least steal attempts against EVERY YEAR but one since 2007. And that one year was the one year he missed a huge chunk of the year for injury. No other team is even close. Wow
Once again. Molina reminding everyone that.....
THOU SHALT NOT STEAL!
They should call him Yadi Moses for enforcing the commandments!
lol love the biblical reference
I like how the announcer was like “runner goes thrown by Molina goodbye” and the ball was not even in the glove yet he just knew the runner would be out
Dan just knows. All the Cards fans know
3:33 As a Dodger fan I actually laughed. Joc running against Molina.... didn't even make it 2/3 of the way to 2nd. WHY would you try Joc...why? lol 😂🤣
Interesting how quickly the pitchers get out of the way of the throw to second base. Even throwing from his knees the ball gets there fast...
As soon as they see him start, just dive lol
If you listen to some of the plays, you can hear a fielder calling "runner" to indicate to the pitcher that he needs to get out of the way
@@FullMastFlex communication is key
@@FullMastFlex I like watching this as much as watching Bo throwing out a very fast runner from the left field wall. These freaks of nature have to be an infinitesimal percentage of the population. .000001 %
that's insane; so many of those throws got there so fast the 2nd baseman had to wait for the runner to get there to apply the tag
Are we not gonna talk about Yadi catching a ball that bounced off the ground and proceeding to not even hiccup before throwing the runner out at 2:03
I literally don’t watch baseball besides the clips I see on ig, but I had to re watch that clip 4 times. 80 into the dirt, no hiccup. Nothing short of incredible.
I did a double take that one was nuts
And it actually happens again at 2:49 🤯
Not only is he one of the best defensive catchers of all time, he’s also one of the longest tenured. Nobody thinks about how he’s in his 40s crouched behind a plate. His knees must be made of titanium.
He and Wainwright are top3? all-time in battery games together I believe
@@60ft6inProductions The fact that both those guys, Pujols, and Carpenter are still in the league playing at a high level leads me to believe there might be something in the water in STL.
@@60ft6inProductions Number 2 all-time in terms of games started together, 7 short of the record. Probably not this year, so let's hope for one more from them both.
@@gmboy559 I think Yadi says he’s retiring after this year
IMO defensively Molina is the #1
Along with his calling of a game, this is an example of why every Cardinals fan believes he belongs in the Hall of Fame once he finishes and is eligible.
He's a 1st ballot HOF'er for sure
It’s not just Cardinals fans who think that bro
Red Sox fan here. No doubt in my opinion. good to great hitter. generational defender. He's in.
If there's anyone from any fan base that doesn't think Molina should be in the Hall of Fame, they're an idiot, respectfully lol
Cards fan here, but he's first ballot no question. The guy is in his 40s still gunning these youngsters down from his knees. Played clean the whole time. He's in for sure.
Yadi is the absolute goat. It's fun being a Cardinals fan and getting to watch him behind the plate for so long.
Cards fan have been very lucky to have him all these years. They definitely appreciate him
Goat? Have you never heard of Johnny Bench?
@@kevindick1110 Bench was my all time favorite, until Yadi showed up...
It's amazing to see him have to change his throw angle when lefties are up. And he STILL throws them out.
:40 off speed pitch and thrown from the knees, still gets em. JFC. has been incredible to watch this machine work.
The Molina brothers are goated.just to add we thank you for everything you did in the city of STL 😎.
I mean he's freaking 40 years old, he's gotta lose a step at some point. --every single MLB basestealer's nightly prayer, probably
There'll probably be some arguments over this I'm 70 years old, Yadi Molina Is the best catcher ever born. Not the fastest mind you, But if they had generals in baseball he would be a 5 star General⚾️⚾️⚾️💖💖💖
I'm surprised you wouldn't say Bench or Berra. But I don't think you're gonna get any argument. If a better catcher has been born, we certainly haven't seen him yet.
@@JL0007 Barra And bench Are my heroes, But I've never seen anybody not even a chess player be able to figure out 5 moves ahead. This guy Molina is a freak of nature, If he could run like he plays He'd be worth a billion dollars. I'm old and it's hard to find a hero but he is mine.
And hes a wonderful human being⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
You won't get arguments from me. He knows when a guy is stealing, and in most of the plays in this clip, he has made the pitcher aware enough ahead of the pitch, that the pitcher releases the ball and is 10 feet away from mound. Also, the guy covering 2nd has the ball and waiting for the runner well in advance. Don't steal on him!
8:34 "Runner goes, runner will be thrown out by 10 feet"
😅🤣
I can not believe how quickly he gets rid of the ball. I used to catch in HS and could only dream about having that quick of a release.
Not just how quickly, the strength of his throw. He throws rockets from his knee.
That guy is a catching machine! What a beast!!
The Renner Family has loved Molina for years. He's arguably the finest catcher ever. Ask any Cardinals fan though he's one of the finest players ever. And in the words of Aunt Joanne " Big deal so you guys won a few games. The Cardinals go to the playoffs every year. "
What's even more impressive is half these throws are off speeds in the 70s and low 80s and he still has the time for a pick off.
Pudge had the best pop time back in the day with a 1.75 sec, yadi did a 1.69... for those of you who don't know.. this is timed from the instant the ball hits the catchers MIT until it hits the second baseman or short stops glove..
Very repetitive, but in such a great way. Love watching Molina’s throw-outs! They’re a thing of beauty!
Stealing second? Yadier Mind???
Lol. "Runner will be.....thrown out by 10ft"
I love watching Yadi gun down runners on the base paths. He’s been doing the same thing since Tori Hunter…
I literally could watch his highlights everyday
Best catcher to ever play the game. Next year is going to be very sad without him.
The video isn't about Johnny Bench.
1:58 ... the best throw..... _ever_
As much as I hate the cardinals I can't deny how good Yadi is and have the utmost respect for him a no doubt HOF member soon as he becomes eligible
Baseball fans from every team have to respect the future 1st ballot HOF'r
@@60ft6inProductions completely agree its not everyday we get to see someone with his amount of talent and skill
Even with a great jump, he throws out even the fastest of base runners. What a freaking Cannon.
I find it interesting how he whips his throwing arm and snaps his wrist on the release. That has to put tremendous pressure on his joints. Amazing he's so durable.
Even when he's not using his legs, it's all upper body
I was noticing that, too. It's kind of like he's building up the pressure, then letting go.
lightning accurate, thats way harder than it even looks, he makes it look effortless.
People try to steal of Yadi not because they think they can. But because they just want bragging rights to say that they’ve done it before.
Can’t help but giggle through this whole video
What a gun thanks for the Montage great content thank you
Props to the 2nd baseman for not whiffing any of these tags btw. Yadier Molina obviously has a cannon, but that ball has to hit a glove eventually.
Yadier Molina should teach his skills to young catchers on how to do what he does behind the plate. He got such a quick release, why does anyone wants to steal? Also, I see the pitchers help by throwing pitches so he can throw and either ducking or heading towards first base to get out of his way and the second baseman or shortstop gives him a target to throw to. That's teamwork.
Imagine the manager calling for a hit and run, and all you can think is... 'But it's Molina!'. Walking to the dugout, I'd be so mad.
WTF WAS THAT SWING AND MISS AT 1:29 ?!!! LMAO
Molina has a great arm, but some of those throws were late and he gets the call because of his reputation.
I believe that some of these calls need slow motion confirmation. Some runners are being tagged to the body while maybe their arms/hands are touching the base. No information on whether any of these calls were challenged. I agree that these are great throws but I would like to see close up slow motion proof that all of these were called correctly.
well the other team can challenge it they will if they think he’s safe. They don’t cus they are out
I don’t even like baseball! Molina is so good I’ll watch him!
2:55 almost back to the dug out before the out
That’s the reason why one of the fastest runners in MLB never ran on Molina. He had 0 SB against Molina
One of the most impressive things in baseball.
Yadi Molina is the best defensive catcher of his generation
Molina the GOAT.
1st ballot HOF'r
Bench
If I wanted to run a faucet, Yadi could throw me out
I don't know much about baseball but it's amazing the small details, like how he throws as close to the second base bag as he can so the base man doesn't have to waste that extra second bringing his arm down from up high to tag the runner.
My son played catcher and, yes, getting a quick release and being able to get the ball on the first base side of the bag are the essential skills. Other small points are which middle infielder is covering the bag, does the center fielder move in to back up the throw, and the pitcher knowing to duck. For throws to third (to catch a runner leading off too much, the catcher will aim for the standing runner’s head, since he will try to dive back to the bag, and the ball will end up in the perfect place.
@@davidcassatt7025 Great, thanks for the info! My son played baseball for the first time this spring, and he really enjoyed playing catcher, if he keeps up with it, it will be great to share this knowledge with him.
@@jlosinski Super interesting conversation. Didn't think about Molina's genius of placement too.
Two aspects that catchers can always work on are their transfer and footwork. For the transfer, after the ball is caught, work on bringing the glove to the right ear to transfer. It's quicker to use the momentum of the pitch to move the glove back than it is to take the throwing arm to the glove in front of the body. For the footwork, work on "frog-jumping" up in place while turning the body so the front shoulder is inline with 2B. The back foot should touch down before the front as to help transfer the weight forward on the throw. Be sure that the front foot doesn't step on home plate though. That's a quick and easy way to slip up / lose balance and make a bad throw.
Another thing to consider is Molina is paying attention to who is on base. He will call for specific pitches that get to the plate faster and are located purposefully so it's easier and faster to throw to the base (pitch outs).
Yadier gets the ball to second base on a 3.5 second split pretty consistently so unless you’re nfl rb status.. you’ve gotta get lucky
The violence with which he snaps that throw to second is frightening.
I think if you are a player who’s known as a base stealer or if you think of yourself as a base stealer …. you just have to know if you can beat his arm.
Billy Hamilton in the corner laughing
The man is a defensive stalwart. I'll be shocked if he isn't a first ballot hall of famer.
"Throw by molina, goodbye" x1000000000000
White sox fan
I'll miss you Yadie
Absolutely no wasted motion and a bullet throw. Wow.
Its like beaming a fastball strike from your knees on a mound twice as far as a usual pitching mound. Unreal.
Amazing how many throws are in the same place on the bag,great arm !!!! 2022
A lot of these runners were absolutely smoked, but a lot of them were there before the tag
Gotta wonder if whoever is covering second ever thinks about ordering take-out while they wait on the runner to get there after the ball does
Bruh, 10-6 top of the 9th and still stealing? Guess that's the only success the pirates will ever have🤣
Why do they steal, you’re kidding right? They’re stealing because he’s the best. A few of these had to be overturned because of the tag. Almost half were hit and runs also but his best throws were on the straight steals. He plays the game just like the runners do.
yadier is the leader amongst active players in caught stealing average - 40 percent.
He creates so much torque with barely any movement
That’s the most b ball I’ve watched in 25 years(approximately).
Watched even less hoops, NFL but this was good stuff.
Billy Hamilton says, hold my jock.
And he too, was gunned down.
@@qwilliams1539 everyone gets thrown out at some point. Billy owned him and every other catcher percentage wise.
Best in the game
Simply put
Pretty much all of these plays are hit and runs where the batter missed. Most runners knew they weren't going to have an easy time.
Hmm. Have to see half of those on a replay. Runner coming off the bag I guess?
I believe there is 2 where the runner came off
I saw the one game that Molina pitched. Why didn’t he just pitch from his knees?
I’m in a mean mood today, so I had to watch some Pudge putout highlights and compare. This guy is pretty amazing, but….
That's an interesting comparison that's for sure!
3:25 there is a flash on yadiers hand what is it?
@3.09 he def was safe
Molina has thrown out 40% of the runners who attempted to steal against him. Roy Campanella of the Brooklyn Dodgers had a success rate of 57%.
You are comparing 2 very different era's. Campanella was in the league at time when players still needed winter jobs to make ends meet. The skill level was far lower then it is today. 40% isn't that bad, when you live in an era where you have players who specialize in stealing bases.
But look at the percentage that attempt to steal against Yadi, compared to the rest of the leage
@@jonathanr1891 Campanella was to catchers what LT was to linebackers, a player who revolutionized the position. He was athletic and a great fielder in addition to having a cannon of an arm. He hit for both power and average, and his 41 HR in 1953 set a record for HRs by a catcher that lasted almost 40 years. He also wasted much of his prime playing years in the Negro Leagues because of the color barrier in MLB.
The guys a beast!
I especially like that 3-2-8 double play video. Such awareness and ability to execute with such stealth.
WHAT about that spring training breakdown that jomboy did. Runner at 1st wags finger saying don't pick me off. Yadi challenges him to steal 2nd and Yadi guns him down from an off speed pitch with EASE! Topped off with an EPIC staredown!
Can the Reds please stop trying to steal on him? Omg
He throws it with his eyes closed
He's good against runners with no speed. I will say he's a good clutch hitter. Hofer for sure for a catcher? Yes. Called a good game and that's about it.
El mejor,🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
Some of these guys got great jumps and were just dead to rights. Wow.
They could show a montage of picking off 1st and 3rd too.
Yadi is amazing, but it Looks like the leads are not great. Compare the leads to successful base stealers.
How many has he left safe?
I still wonder how he finds the time to strap a rocket on the baseball and still guns them out ! I mean, he is no mear mortal, is he ?
Title is a very good question.
Good thing it wasn't Otis Nixon or deion Sanders
I’m awestruck
Yadi has that effect on people
Best catcher to ever play
Yes, Bench certainly is.
@@mikeprevost8650 All around, not just one category.
@@kevindick1110 if Roy Campanella wasn't barred from playing during some of the prime years of his career due to the color barrier, no one would be talking about any other catcher as the GOAT. He was almost 30 when he broke in with the Dodgers and had whatever was left of his career cut short by a car accident which left him paralyzed, after only a 10 year MLB career. He still managed to hit 259 career HR and had a lifetime BA of .283. And threw out 57% of the runners trying to steal on him.
@@mikeprevost8650 Ifs and buts. That game can be played all day. You're a Campenella guy, I'm a Bench guy. I'll concede we're both right, lol. It's my opinion that Satchell Page is the best pitcher ever with Koufax a close 2nd. You?
Best defensive catcher of all time!!! There's literally no argument
Bench said go away.
@@kevindick1110 okay ...I knew I would get this comment. I'm surprised you're the only one, really. It's a fact that the game these days are faster than 50 years ago. Bat speed is faster. Pitches are faster. Runners are faster. To have 9 good gloves in this era is unprecedented.
I need a Key and Peele skit of the ridiculous motions the umps use when calling people out. What a bunch of fruit cakes.
Seeing him gun down Acuna makes me smile Soooooooo much. Bat flip that punk
Holy hell!
I know why they steal on a 9 golden glove catcher; because they want him to have 10.
G O A T
I'd show some different angles so we can see the speed of his throws bruh.
you can't cross the bridge if it's closed
Uhhh, shouldn't he have a Golden Shoulder Award?
Danger is their middle name
