      Agreed. I’ve never seen a move like that. Pitcher just moved his left foot off the mound to the left and threw to first at the same time. That move should be patented.

      CERTIFIED I don’t think it’s fair to call anyone stupid for thinking that’s a balk. I’ve spent the past 30 minutes going over the rules and still am not 100% sure.
      According to MLB rule 8.01(c): when a pitcher removes his pivot foot from contact with the rubber (i.e. steps off), he thereby becomes an infielder. And, while off the rubber, he can throw to any base.
      The “while off the rubber” part is what’s tricky... Technically, Kershaw broke his hands, and started the throw, before he was off the rubber. However, in his defense, he didn’t release the ball until his pivot foot was planted off the rubber.
      So, what constitutes being “off the rubber”?

      Nope, no balks here. Some of them would have been called balks for quick-pitching if the pitcher had pitched them instead of going for the pickoff, but none of these has the pitcher's leg going towards home plate before switching towards first base.

  • @hlcepeda
    @hlcepeda 4 года назад +2

    I recall a comment from Mets southpaw, Jerry Koosman, on how to improve a southpaw's pickoff move to first base: Show the runner the bottom of your right shoe as you bring your leg up to _seemingly_ deliver your pitch to the batter. You have to raise your right leg and contort your ankle in such a way that you're actually positioning yourself to step toward first base. The logic is that threatening runners see the bottom of the right shoe as an indication that the pitcher is delivering to the plate... at which point they'd run, if so minded. I don't know where that advice originated from. Rube Walker, perhaps?

    Pettite was the best I ever saw even today. It's one thing to catch runners napping in the regular season... It's another to catch so many in the post season where runners tend to be much more on alert and cautious with there leads off first. Ofcoarse I say this as a general assumption. I'm sure one or two runners got nervous playing in the post season and played worse than usual. But for the most part to me that many pickoffs over his entire career in the post season is absolutely insane to pull off. It wasn't like Pettites pick off move being that good wasn't well known by every team he faced since his rookie season. I'm sure all the runners he picked off in the post season were warned several times by there coaches about Pettites pick off move before the game. Probably in most cases the first base coach had just warned them again the moment they got to first base and it still didn't matter. With many of the runners that Pettite picked off having no intention of stealing whatsoever. Many were notorious for not stealing with very short leads and despite all of that they still got picked off. .

    All you historically challenged baseball fans the greatest pick-off move belonged to the greatest LH pitcher of all-time. Warren Spahn (1942-1965) won 363 games & won 20 in a season 13 times!! He was called for a balk only 5 times in over 5200 innings & led the NL in PKOs 7 times but even more impressive is he finished 8 seasons (all 246+ IP) with more PKOs than allowed SBs. Other great PKO moves belonged to these LHers: Steve Carlton (144 PKOs & 90 balks); Mark Buehrle (98 PKOs & 16 balks); Andy Pettitte (96 PKOs & 11 balks); Clayton Kershaw (68 PKOs & 20 balks). Only Carlton pitched comparable innings to the great Spahn.

    • @davej3781
      @davej3781 4 года назад +1

      because that's what they are supposed to do. after a tag the umpire must be sure of where the ball is before calling the out, and will often say to the fielder "show me the ball" if he hasn't already. the umpire who fails to do this eventually ends up embarrassed, possibly in a video on youtube.

      that seems a little hard to believe. that's 4-1/3 innings of pick-offs in a 7 inning game. you allowed an awful lot of baserunners, but somehow picked almost all of them off first? the runners or the coach never tightened up their leads, seeing that your pickoff move was that great, but you were pitching so poorly that almost everyone was getting on base so there was no point in trying to steal? I suppose any crazy thing is possible, but it really doesn't add up.
