Today on the JM Baseball channel me and three of my good friends here at johnboy media are going to play the baseball Savant guess the pitch type game it’s a game on their website so you can actually play yourself and the greatest thing is every round is completely

Different they sort through a bunch of random Clips so each of these rounds is going to have a bunch of different pitches I’m going to go first I’m going to give it a try pitch recognition is not my strongest suit but I figure how

Bad can I be there’s going to be 20 of these so hopefully I can get at least over 50% and obviously best score at the end will be the winner of this video so I guess it’s just like let’s just Dive Right In right guys all right so I’m

Going to hit start game here I’m going to go first okay so it looks like Oliver Perez throwing something inside I think that’s just his his four seam fast ball unless they they throw a cutter at me uh okay that was correct cool all right so

I guess win and doubt just go for that’s a 91 up in the zone from Braxton Garrett to Juan stto on the Nationals uh I’m going to again just guess for fastball and I’m two for two okay so win in down out forc him that is Michael W on the

Mets 84 middle middle is that a slider that might be a slider that was a change up that’s not really where you want to be putting your change up that’s got to be a slider that has to be a slider come on okay so I’m three for four so far

That’s a pretty good batting average from what I hear this is a 2020 clip Joe Kelly throwing 97 on the outside to Brandon Belt let’s go for seamer cuz I know Joe Kelly can dial it up there easy peasy I’ve gotten like three fast balls so far that’s that’s great um 86 from

Chaz row to Bret Gardner is that a change up or a sinker I think that’s a change up that’s a cutter okay now I know what a cutter looks like okay Ozuna to Daniel vogle back on the Mariners 93 on the corner I feel like Ozuna threw

Harder than 93 but I I’ll guess force him again and I was correct okay so I just got a lot of fast balls so far that looks like another fast ball from Dominic Lee Le own uh to Whit mfield that was a sinker huh oh my God fast the

Four seam cutter Sinker distinction I I just don’t really see it that well um okay wow 98 on the inside corner is this another fast that’s a sinker too dude all right I got to actually like look at how these things are moving like I’m fooling

Myself I feel kind of lame I’m just guessing force him every time and that’s also another Sinker so now I’m five and five I I was doing so well should I guess Sinker I’m guessing Sinker and that was a for that’s what I get I should have went with my bread and

Butter I’m paying the price here I guess I’m paying the price okay that looks like a a floater high in the zone if that’s a change up that’s really not where you want to put that thing but I’m I’m going to guess change up here I think okay that was

Correct I I need a good correct answer I feel like I got a lot wrong in a row um that wow who’s that is that Brandon work man is this a cutter that feels too fast to be a slider that was a cutter I got a

Cutter right let’s go that’s kind of my my goal for this video I haven’t seen a curveball yet is that a curveball that might be a curveball right 80 though 80 is kind of fast now let’s go slider yeah that was a slider good audible by me good audible

No big deal that’s a wicked looking pitch from Jeremy Jeffers what is that that might be a sinker yes okay now I’m hot I’m hot now I’m hot okay danelson lament remember how good he was that I think also might be a sinker I don’t know if I’m going to

Get a splitter here I haven’t seen one yet I think I’m going to go Sinker here that’s a slider that moved kind of funky for a slider what happened to him that’s just going to be a four seam fast ball that’s got to be come on now from Harvey I’m

Not sure who that is okay 10 and Seven’s pretty good I wanted to get 10 so I feel like I’m in a good spot interesting motion from this this guy whoa look at the way his arm [ __ ] like that that’s interesting um I think that might be a

Cutter cuz it’s not quite for seam speed it was for seam speed well that’s probably why I don’t know who that guy is sorry uh let’s see this is Carlos Martinez 94 on the outside corner that’s a really good pitch to whoever he’s facing we’re going to go foram okay I’d

Like to get this last one a nice round 60% would be nice um 93 bottom of the Zone from Phil maton when he was with Cleveland I’m going to go Sinker because I think his for seam sits a little higher than that and I was correct okay

12 and eight that’s really not that bad that actually might be the score to beat unless someone is going to be cracked at this game I’m very happy with that let’s see how everyone else did okay uh I here’s here’s here’s my guess okay my guess is that that’s a cutter you know

What they say about Cutters these days is that they’re just a fast slider it’s unusual for a righty to throw a cut cutter to a righty I I don’t know cuz if if hey if that cutter sits in the middle of the plate then it’s just a fast ball

No I that’s definitely it’s not a sinker it’s not a split finger split finger F what the [ __ ] is a split finger fast ball uh cutter you can’t you can’t mold this much for cutter guess pitch tight ah singer that’s not a singer that’s a that’s a bad Sinker that’s a bad Sinker

Who is that guy oh God this guy now I see this is this is what I would say is a sinker but that’s a slow I mean he’s he’s doing underarm stuff though is it dip at the end change up no they wouldn’t do Sinker two times in a row or

Is this this this guy’s there’s no way that this is this guy’s fastball I’m going to go change up it’s really slow if it’s fast ball I’m going to be mad that’s not a slider it didn’t even slide here’s the here’s the here’s the thing this game is

Rigged and I I’ll say it get your bleeps out this game’s [ __ ] because they’re showing us B look there’s ‘s nobody in the ballpark for this the game’s 21 nothing you’re showing us bad pictures this is a for this is a for seam fast

Ball or I’m out or this could be like a look at this cutter four seam fast ball corre there you go on the board on the board correct um this is a curve this is a curveball this could even be a slurve not an option curveball correct cooking

Next now this is this could be this is a sinker or no this could be a but no what a cutter cuts inside this is cutting away from the batter this is cutting away so this is not if they call this a cutter I mean if really my guess is that

This is a two seam because a two-seamer for rties that goes in on right-handed batters this is going away from a left-handed batter I’m going to call this a s a split are they going to call this are they calling a two seam or a split finger fast ball here can you give

Me any clarification on that I can’t I’m going to call this a sinker because a sinker moves away it’s not a splitter I don’t think ceso throws a splitter yeah no so I’m going to guess this pitch type it’s a sinker yes let’s go um this is uh

Monoa no it’s Taiwan Walker Taiwan Walker former mat this is not anything slow this is not really sinking I want to I want to guess cutter cuz I feel like tyon Walker can throw faster than 90 even though this isn’t really cutting I’m going to guess

Cutter if not then he throws a really slow fast ball that’s [ __ ] that’s [ __ ] that’s [ __ ] um what this looks like a what noit no I guess just get fast this is illegal the game bro but what if I’m wrong then that that’s tough but what if

You’re right then you get a free one there’s nothing to analyze no it’s a change up you going to change up I hate you whoa oh that’s a slider that’s just that’s just slider you see yeah oh is that a slider or a curve that

Looks like a a slider that’s not a curve dude to change it correct this also looks like a slider this is a slider next wow I know my sliders that this also looks like a tight a tight upstair slider next [ __ ] you that’s a curve

Sorry that was I got really mad you got really animated um this is a sinker this could just be a fast ball let’s look at his fingers are you gonna you’re GNA try and look at his fingers let’s look at his fingers I have terrible eyes I’m gonna sinker

This guy could throw faster than 97 singer correct wow this is this also is a singer this also is a sinker you’re technically seven and four now eight and four cuz you got boned on that one yeah oh what is this oh this is our friend M

Mike King he throws I think I don’t know I’m A Yank I think he throws a cutter but he throws much faster than 84 cutter does legitimately does look like a slider since this looks like I’m using my my wrong that I did earlier where I got wrong with the split finger fast

Ball it looked like a fast B I’m going to say split finger fast ball here or this could be a change up but it doesn’t move down enough to be a change split finger fast ball [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] I said change up two seconds before I’m getting

Really up I don’t think this is entertaining to see people lose their [ __ ] um curve I’m going to say curve even though again it looks like a slider it’s upstairs stop sh was an a stop showing me upstairs pitches I’m going to say curve no how is 86 that’s fast

That’s a fast curve I’m going to go slider good call good call oh hello Luke Voit [ __ ] it’s not a cutter this also could be a sinker because this is coming back it’s outside and then it snaps back it’s a good pitch it snaps back a little

Bit it’s also it’s a great punch out you see that it’s a punch out almost punches Luke voy in the face I want to say Sinker again but it doesn’t sink it kind of like eh Sinker is my guess a cheap pitch just forc him with some ride I guess all right all

Right I’m all right with get getting that wrong now this looks like a for seamer and I’m just going to forget about it yeah hater N See this is where just knowing these guys pitch mixes would I guess help I mean all these relievers are sliders but that’s a slow slider I

Almost want to call that a curve I think I’m going to call it a curve that’s a slider all these no so man I’m done for foram for for and if it’s a cutter I’ll kill you you’ll kill me no we can tie the computer oh Edwin Diaz well I want

To say this is a sinker too but the the last F the last fast ball that I thought was a sinker kind of snapped back and it was a for seam this is not sinking though I I I think I need to get out of my head that just moving maybe side it

Has to actually sink I’m calling this a four seam fast ball do we tie we tied I got the fakti one wrong yeah so technically you win I I I am smarter let’s let’s no I am smarter than Jolly Olive when it comes to pitch mix and

Fake Rising effect but at the end that has a little tail side armors are kind of everything is weird like all the pitches aren’t what you think how fast is that 90 paint by the way I mean good like a good [ __ ] I mean the batter is

Pissed okay so that kind of has like a w I’m going to think I’m going to say that’s a sinker or it could be a bad slider I think it’s a sinker that’s a force I was with you I thought that was a sinker you know my I

Explained how it was the right answer yeah with my reasoning was a fast ball and then I said Sinker so okay this is my least favorite thing I think ever this camera angle oh yeah it’s bad based on the hitter’s reaction with a catcher I guess that could literally not have

Moved but I’m thinking it’s sliding I’m going to go cutter okay it’s a four scene PNC Park is packed okay let’s see if we can see any finger action whatever is A3 I feel like it has that hump it’s not a slider I don’t think which probably means it

Is wow fade the fade all right next one we got another this must be Co season yeah this is co uh Gorilla Glue is getting way too much at time in the sticky stuff season too that’s got to be Bing Bang Boom for seam okay I that wasn’t foram I don’t

Know what I would yeah that’s crazy I don’t I don’t know if there’s tricks in this game but that looks like a foram bang glass no not glass now all those rays look the same Ray with long hair glass now okay paint these are you got some good pitches left I don’t think

I’ve I’ve done one off speed no that definitely has a little hump yeah I’m going to say that’s a sinker could be a split finger fast ball but who throws that this guy probably it was a I faded the F you faded the fade too

Hard F the fade too much this is a foring down the penis probably a pitch you should have sworn yet okay lot of get me overs here isn’t this the same ad bat that we just saw looks like the same ad bat is this a

Weiz Tik Tok that looks like a foram to me I’m not going to try to read into it too much bang 95 that has some sink I’m going to go Sinker you’re on Sinker yeah oh they just want you to get SP seams that’s it okay I just grab kind of

Brings the ball down okay this happened in penic too it’s just um I think you just have to okay if I get this right double points clip clip it clip that game’s a little broken no there no one was you were never going to guess change up you were doomed you

Kidding you were doomed from the start sidearm that is a beautiful pitch I’m like gamer leaning right now now I think this is just a weird side armor four seam oh my God the fastball Sinker is putting me in a tumble this is a slider come on that’s got to be a

Slider okay if it helps that’s what I would have guessed there’s no way that’s an 84 M Power cutter I think this is a slider nice I actually would have guessed curve there see the thing modern day no one throws a curve right okay is this a position player P that’s mean

That’s rude of me yeah force him down the how’s is that that’s that’s you’re having an all-time tough round that’s hoot nny um okay The Hitter is pretty tall the Pit’s young so it’s a cutter or a slider I’m going to go cutter or it’s

A four seam okay big I got to get in the green I think that’s a slider it’s cutter it’s a cutter that’s [ __ ] what’s even the difference you can still finish positive though oh my God what are you kidding me that’s such a good

Fitch this has got to be a two seam is that an option I don’t think so I think so it’s just a four seam two seam Blends into Sinker I guess okay nice fway that’s a good pitch that’s a DOT that looks like a two

Seam too so that’s a sinker no not every pitcher is this good I know yeah I bet that’s part of the game it has to be like a beautiful pitch so that’s like a two that’s a two seam right pitch tracker it looks like it but maybe it’s

Just the angle I don’t know yeah um I mean it’s a two seam so what do I say sinker is it just a bad Sinker it’s rising and there hasn’t been a splitter or a curve yet and I’m shaking in my boot I’m do for seam nice hey one more

Okay okay okay oh H that’s kind of a tough this is an eephus you’re telling me that doesn’t look like a position player pitching his pants are so baggy so that has a little hump it has no lateral movement CER kind of like framed

At the wrong way wait I want to say yeah he like framed outside what he he wanted to get a ball okay so learning what I’ve learned this is going to be a change up no what was okay what was it I don’t know it didn’t tell you I I’m guessing

That it was slider cuz that felt too fast to be curveball yeah and then too slow to be everything else it went from speed that would have been a slider all right 50% technically you went 10 and nine cuz the one one of them you got

Wrong that was not fair yes that’s I’m going to say that you finished in the green okay I went 10 n and a half nice that’s fun
