Pitching coaches arent looking at much as tipping pitches

as they are the mechanics of the pitcher. For better or worse, that’s kind of the case.

by bdlugz on Mar 5, 2010 2:51 PM CST up reply actions  

Is this sarcasm?

A pitcher tipping his pitches is EXACTLY what I would expect a pitching coach to pick up on. Aren’t pitches usually tipped by some inconsistency in the mechanics of a pitcher’s delivery? I don’t think it’s like poker where they’ll start shaking or smoking a cigarette a different way.

by Schwa on Mar 5, 2010 2:52 PM CST up reply actions  

maybe Marmol

is throwing his off-speed pitches with his other hand. I think a batter would probably notice that.

Forget all that other stuff. I gotta believe.

by drewishdrewid on Mar 5, 2010 2:55 PM CST up reply actions  

From an SI article...

“Former big league pitcher Burt Hooton, now the Astros’ pitching coach, doesn’t pay much attention to whether his guys are tipping pitches. When he played, he would wriggle his hand around in his glove just to keep the hitters guessing which grip he was using. And if he felt like a hitter was sitting on a pitch he shouldn’t know anything about, he’d knock the batter off the plate with something high and hard.

That’s not to say that Hooton won’t help one of his pitchers once someone points out a potential problem."

So no, not sarcasm.

by bdlugz on Mar 5, 2010 2:57 PM CST up reply actions  

A bit more info

“The pitching coaches are looking more at how our mechanics are, not [whether a] leg kick or hand break or arm pattern is giving away anything when we’re throwing,” Diamond said. “The hitters are looking for that stuff. It’s good to get that feedback, especially from teammates.”

Thanks for the info.

Maybe I’m just stubborn, but I still think that a pitcher tipping his pitches is something a pitching coach (someone who gets paid to make pitchers better) should a) notice, and b) correct.
