A lot of these pitchers got triples on what would have been doubles by normal hitters. This video kind of proves that if you hustle you have a good shot of extending 2 into 3.
Not really. A lot of these outfielders are playing shallow. You have to take that into your point of view because they don't expect pitchers to hit it that far. Just by hustling doesn't mean you can extend a double into a triple because for normal batters the outfielders will position themselves so the ball doesn't get by them.
And to think the MLB is talking about taking the bat out of the pitcher's hands permanently. I say don't do that! There are some pitchers who can swing a hot bat and I say the pitcher should be able to hit for himself in the National League when usually when it's his turn at the plate, he's usually up there to bunt. This video proves that some pitchers can swing the stick and do it well.
MrGosportsteam Was wondering why A-Gon was playing right, then wondered even more when he 2-hopped a throw to second. I get its an NL park but if he is that much of a defensive liability just play hom at first or figure something else out.
Abeagle24 Craig Lefferts hit a walk off home run in 1986. Lester had a walk-off sac bunt last year. I'm sure there are a few more in between. Especially in long extra innings games, pitchers sometimes have to bat in clutch situations, when teams run out of position players.
Two-homer games by pitchers. Here are two from my youth: 1. Tony Cloniger hitting two grand slams in a game in 1966. Until Fernando Tatis did it in 1999, it was the only time an NL player hit rwo slams in a game. 2. Rick Wise hit two homers in a no-hitter he pitched in 1971.
That was back when he was with Boston. For interleague games, they wanted Ortiz at 1B, so Gonzo was moved to the OF. The result wasn't the prettiest though, as can be seen here.
Babe Ruth had over 100, and Prince Fielder hit for the cycle. Dmitri Young, who was one of the fattest players in history GAVE UP a cycle (he had a homer, triple and single, and then hit another triple, when he could’ve chosen to stop at 2B. YCPB!
Disappointed that Greg Maddux's first one wasn't on here. Ozzie Guillen said it had replaced the Kentucky Derby as the most exciting two minutes in all of sports.
If Cahill's, Arrieta's (against SD), and Perdomo's (first two) were scored as triples, that's crazy. There were a few others that were questionable, too. If a guy plays a single into a "triple" by making a stupid dive or slide (or just letting it get by) or fails to catch a fairly routine fly ball because he overruns it, those should NOT be scored as triples.
Because of a few rare hits? It's perfectly acceptable for pitchers to be substituted for another hitter, especially when they're carrying the biggest load by already pitching and fielding. These guys are more susceptible to injury, more valuable to the roster, and less accustomed to hitting and running. Dedicating an entire spot in the lineup to a guy that automatically sacrifices is rather lackluster anyways. Position players aren't ever asked to regularly pitch, yet they're not scrutinized for it. And people preaching disdain towards the DH position never seem to actually target guys like Martinez or Thomas, which is pretty contradictory.
You made this too soon to catch Perdomo's *fourth* triple of 2017. Which led to him actually making the first page of the ESPN NL leaderboard for triples: www.espn.com/mlb/stats/batting/_/year/2017/league/nl/sort/triples/order/true
Chris Rusin hit 2 of these? Is that true or did I just see things? One for the cubs in his first at bat and another for the Rockies? That's pretty impressive for a guy who can't pitch for shit lol

AJ Metzy always try your best.
Well, Anthony Bass's was probably an inside-the-park home run for a lot of hitters :D

And yet they give pitchers like 10/99 speed in mlb the show. They're the real runners!
And for those speedsters, it’s can be an inside-the-parker.
Jeez 0:52 had a no hitter and it way broken up by a pitcher hitting a triple. You don't see that every day
Calder MacKillop I thinking the same thing, the one guy you don't expect to get a hit, let alone a triple
All we need is bartolo colon breaking up a pie the game with a infield in park homerun
Best highlights in MLB. Actually showing good highlights rather than home runs all the time
The Dbacks and Cubs are good at these apparently
William Ogden and the Reds and Phillies too
NHL 17 Drafty true
Does Arrieta have the most triples by a pitcher in baseball right now?
Trainlover 4449 lol I think he might
NHL 17 Drafty and the Padres
I've been following your channel for a while but this is the video that finally convinced me to subscribe. Love the content!
vigintiunus same
Pitchers should have to hit. I like the NL. It adds an X-factor to the game in many ways.
God damn I love this channel.
Excellent collection. Thank you sir.
Best RUclips channel ever

mpc97 you haven’t seen RUclips

Best MLB RUclipsr please never stop uploading!
how about pitchers playing the field (travis wood in left) or guys playing a completely different position than usual (adrian gonzalez in right)
MrGosportsteam Was wondering why A-Gon was playing right, then wondered even more when he 2-hopped a throw to second. I get its an NL park but if he is that much of a defensive liability just play hom at first or figure something else out.
A-Gon was in right so Ortiz could play 1B. Pretty sure that was back in 2012.
Roy Oswalt played an inning in left field for the Phillies in 2010.
Obviously Polanco needs to work on his plays off the wall
and effort. Lollipopped that one throw in
To be fair. Polanco needs to work on everything. Had all the potential but his attitude is absolute garbage.
I was watching waiting for some AL pitchers to show up but then realized...
0:13 legend has it that the announcer is still saying "trip" to this day
I love how Arrieta is a good chunk of these. Dudes is a legitimate weapon as a batter.
Glad you liked the idea!! Nice Video!
This doubles as a "missed cutoff man" compilation
Some of these guys would have easily been safe at home
Perhaps if they were regular speedsters, not 6'6" pitchers less accustomed to running.
About as rare as seeing Yogi Bear avoiding pick-en-ick baskets to observe Lent
How about "Hanley Ramirez's helmet falling off on swings and misses"
Whenever anyone says we should have a universal DH just show them this video.
Hey man! Love the content. I was actually your 3rd subscriber. Could you do a "Pitchers almost hitting home runs" video?
I'll add it to my future idea list, but this one could be hard to find videos for
More like "Outfield mess-ups"
Nash wayz Not specific
Essentially what triples/ITPHRs are.
Jake Aritita did it 4 times in a row in this video damn
as an Orioles fan, seeing him succeed elsewhere pains me.
however, i am glad for him. he wouldn't get those chances in Baltimore.
Same but 2 times in a row with cris rusin
How about pitchers hitting walkoffs. Or if there's not enough clips for that, pitchers getting clutch hits.
marlzach pitchers would be lifted and a pinch hitter would be in their place if it gets to walkoff situation
Abeagle24 Craig Lefferts hit a walk off home run in 1986. Lester had a walk-off sac bunt last year. I'm sure there are a few more in between. Especially in long extra innings games, pitchers sometimes have to bat in clutch situations, when teams run out of position players.
marlzach i saw a pinch hitting pitchers video where yovani gallardo had a walk off hit
Yovanni Gallardo hit a walk off double a few years back
RUclips wanted me to watch this video bad. It stayed in my recommended lol
Same
Hey man could you do what you did for July and do the August losing announcers calls on walk offs? Thanks you're the best baseball youtuber great work
Two-homer games by pitchers. Here are two from my youth: 1. Tony Cloniger hitting two grand slams in a game in 1966. Until Fernando Tatis did it in 1999, it was the only time an NL player hit rwo slams in a game. 2. Rick Wise hit two homers in a no-hitter he pitched in 1971.
Good Videos man keep it up
0:43 Take your time, outfielder.
ADRIAN GONZALEZ IN RIGHT FIELD?!? One of these videos about players playing positions you wouldn't expect might be fun.
That was back when he was with Boston. For interleague games, they wanted Ortiz at 1B, so Gonzo was moved to the OF. The result wasn't the prettiest though, as can be seen here.
If only Bartolo Colon had hit a triple at any time in his career
Babe Ruth had over 100, and Prince Fielder hit for the cycle. Dmitri Young, who was one of the fattest players in history GAVE UP a cycle (he had a homer, triple and single, and then hit another triple, when he could’ve chosen to stop at 2B.
YCPB!
Good video
Longer vid than I thought it would be
Jake Arrieta talk was a hell of a hitter for a pitcher same with Cole hamels
Chris freakin' Rusin has multiple career triples. That's your random fact of the day.
Usually were saying poor NL pitchers but this video takes that off my mind everytime they step to the plate
Disappointed that Greg Maddux's first one wasn't on here. Ozzie Guillen said it had replaced the Kentucky Derby as the most exciting two minutes in all of sports.
1:18 Sanchez got that moob momentum going.
There is a lot of these against Miami and Cincinnati!
matt cain throwing dirty two seamers to lefties
I understand why a lot of these are in San Francisco due to the dimensions… but that’s a surprising number at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
You should make a video of American League pitchers getting hits.
The cubs are dominating at it
The little montage of jake arrieta
Can you do pitchers hitting inside the park home runs
Krod blowing saves!!
Do any pitchers have inside the parkers?
These pitchers need to unhook their trailers. Lol
Got an idea: tying the game on a passed ball/wild pitch
This one is getting added to the list!
a triple for a pitcher is an inside-the-park HR for everyone else lol
You should do relievers getting hits
Do pitchers hitting grand slams
Do American League pitchers getting base hits!
11:04 Luis Perdomo, the StatCast legend.
Missing the greatest one, Jonathan Sanchez against the Padres in game 162 to seal the NL West for then Giants in 2010!
The best part is watching them run
Hell yeah The Padres killed this vid.
who was the pitcher that gave up the triple to Anibal Sanchez
Can you do pitchers break up no-hitters/perfect games?
David Di Pavlov there arent a lot
David Di Pavlov id expect there’s only 1 - 3 of those lol
I wish Bartolo just once had tripled.
how about pitchers breaking up no-hitters/perfect games
that's a damn good idea
What? Adrian Gonzalez in right field?
Has a pitcher ever hit an inside the park homerun
9:58 - 10:29 shoutouts to gregory polanco

No Al Leiter?
Cole Hamels is basically buxton
Beauty of the NL
I'm a pitcher I hit 3 triples, 1 double, and 1 single I just needed to hit a homerun for the cycle
Sanchez... S A N C H E Z
This....this right here is why the DH shouldn't be a thing.
Because of a few rare hits? It's perfectly acceptable for pitchers to be substituted for another hitter, especially when they're carrying the biggest load by already pitching and fielding. These guys are more susceptible to injury, more valuable to the roster, and less accustomed to hitting and running.

And people preaching disdain towards the DH position never seem to actually target guys like Martinez or Thomas, which is pretty contradictory.
Runners falling down on the basepaths on their own.
Cole was booking it.
2:07 why is Adrian Gonzalez playing right field🤦♂️
Peytonmakinstatements54 interleague game with no DH and wanted to get him in the lineup. Have to assume that big papi was playing 1st
how many of these are outfield errors
These pitchers are really hustling on the bases most of these r just routine doubles for position players
Where's CJ Wilson's triple against the Astros?
this is why the national league is better
Miami seems to be the team you want to play against if you want to get alot of triples
Arrieta 🐐
I love baseball.
Why did Arrieta have 4 in a row?
5:07 guess BJ Upton is used to not hustling and giving up triples
So, basically, watch all the Padres-Reds games.
How bout this idea: Teams playing at different stadiums (ex. Astros at home in trop)
The poor Padres will never have a no hitter lmao
Didn’t Al Leiter hit a triple for the Mets in the late 1990s or 2000?
I didn't realize pitchers hit so many triples
NHL 17 Drafty considering there are 2,430 games each regular season, you see crazy things more often than you would think.
This mostly is not triples, it is singles and errors
5:57 🙏🏻😍
Great video. Man, some awful overplay in the outfield.
First mlb hit is a triple for pitcher. Pitcher broke up no-no with a triple
You made this too soon to catch Perdomo's *fourth* triple of 2017.
Which led to him actually making the first page of the ESPN NL leaderboard for triples:
www.espn.com/mlb/stats/batting/_/year/2017/league/nl/sort/triples/order/true
3:50 everything looked uncomfortable about that outfielder
Hamels' triple was all hang time! Coleman's, in contrast, was all hustle!
Do at bats where mariano rivera broke bats haha
Perdomo had another triple in the last game of the year
Chris Rusin hit 2 of these? Is that true or did I just see things? One for the cubs in his first at bat and another for the Rockies? That's pretty impressive for a guy who can't pitch for shit lol
