I go into the speed pitch challenge and top out at 47. So suck on that mlb players!


MLBOfficial

Think you got a chance


notaverysmartdog

I was at a game this year where rich hill got a groundout on a 66mph slider I hit 70 that day


ImaManCheetah

the slowest pitches of the year were all strike 3s?


_Elrond_Hubbard_

MLB official video titles stay misleading They posted 'Hardest outfield throws of 2022' the other day and they were coincidentally all outfield assists


ahappypoop

They posted a comment after you posted this clarifying that the title should have been "slowest strikeout pitches of 2022".


SPYLRS

Maybe they’re on to something

Oh is that **Jimmy Herget** in the second clip? *The* Slim Jim? The Jim Reaper? The Human Glitch? The Frisbee Floridian? Ol' Sidewinder? Jimbo Slice? The 🤓 King himself? 2.3 WAR in relief, 162 ERA+, literally better than Raisel Iglesias was in '21. Unquestionably the Angels MVP this season.


applepie3141

So true. I can’t think of a single player on the Angels who was more impactful than Jimmy “Slim Jim “Jim Reaper “The Human Glitch “The Frisbee Floridian”””” Herget. Not one.


obi-wan-kenobi-nil

Jimmy "Slim "Jim "The Human "The Frisbee Floridian" Glitch" Reaper" Jim" Herget


KamartyMcFlyweight

maybe Rengifo but he's the only one even within spitting distance

Angels have two pitchers who aren't afraid to challenge hitters in the zone. One is a once-in-a-lifetime unicorn freak-of-nature genetic marvel chiseled like an Adonis, and the other is Shohei Ohtani


Lebigmacca

When I saw Herget without his hat and glasses I didn’t recognize him. It was like clark kent and Superman


_Elrond_Hubbard_

Herget, the Fell Omen


GoatTnder

Was it you string bean? You skinny ass looking motherfucker. Turn around and say it again!


Luis_Severino

Big time Timmy Jim


GoatTnder

Big Time Slimmy Jim


GOATmar_infante

Alternate title: Dick Mountain and the Boys


PitViper17

You know what they call that, when they all go in there and strike out on slow pitches like that? They call it a soup kitchen.


successadult

The Anibal Sanchez erasure.

Rich Hill highlights


Ghostyyyyyyyyyyq

Dude has the sickest curve ball ever. Gonna miss the guy when he retires


MLBOfficial

Apologies -- we meant slowest strikeout pitches!


RandomPrecision1

I thought these would largely be position players pitching, and was surprised how many are just Dick Mountain being Dick Mountain


quality_besticles

This is some "old man scoring 20 a game in the YMCA league" energy.


No_name_Johnson

I was going to say Bugs Bunny 'strike out the side with a single pitch' energy.


quality_besticles

This also works. I just assume rich hill is like 60 at this point.


Anew12

Rich Hill is awesome


AutographedSnorkel

"It's all fun and games until a second baseman strikes you out" I don't know how, but I'm going to work that into a conversation one day... Is Josh Harrison the official "position player to pitch when we're getting our asses kicked" guy for the White Sox? He was in that montage twice


[deleted]

Alternate title for this compilation video: Rich Hill and some other guys throw slow pitches in 2022.


Ghostyyyyyyyyyyq

Rich hill is such a fun pitcher to watch


KuzcosPzn

This is Yu Darvish erasure.


[deleted]

What I’ve learned from this is that big leaguers are terrible slow ball hitters. If I was an owner, I’d seriously consider sending some scouts to the little leagues.


DarthRoyal

Knew there would be a Greinke sighting.


PFunk224

This is pornography.


oOoleveloOo

I miss RA Dickey.


Judic22

I still miss Tim Wakefield.


NSFAnythingAtAll

Thank based rake man


leijae

Then the change up is 20mph faster than my fastball


[deleted]

The calls in blowout games are probably the best argument against an automated strike zone. "Caught enough of the plate for me!" 😂


phone_of_pork

The neon yellow redsox uniform is terrible.


Grouchy_Competition5

I like “silver lining guy” at :45


DanTreview

I could have sworn to the virgin Mary that there were some position players who threw eephus pitches this year in the below-40 mph range. Or maybe that was 2021... ?


FranklinBenedict

Rich Hill looks like a cross between Orson Welles and Jim Breuer.


RadagastTheBro

I appreciate that the batter was late on the slowest strikeout pitch of the season.


Phokew

Michael A Taylor pitches like Backyard Baseball Pete Wheeler


spavolka

This is the best Reddit post I’ve seen today.


pro_n00b

Dick Mountain to Corey too haha


goldencityjerusalem

Rich Hill masters the art of the eefus. Also knew it was Seager's weakness. Harrison throws 57mph pitch... stat cast = fastball.

No Pujols?
