Pedro Martinez changing his grip mid delivery was plain genius & hard as fukk to do

[NYC Rebel]

I want to preface this by saying most hitters take their cues on what pitch is coming by noticing a change in the pitchers delivery or how they are fiddling around in their glove before pitching. If you’re really good, you can pick up the rotation of the ball as it’s coming. The fact that Pedro changed his grip mid delivery while throwing the ball in the same exact motion is why he was one of the goats.

Dominant in the roid era

Man, Pedro day was an event back in the day. And it was usually going to be on espn, so everyone could watch. Him, Clemons, Roy Halladay, Hideo Nomo, Curt hoe asz Schilling, Randy Johnson. I miss old mlb.

GOAT

Took me years to come to terms with Pedro’s greatness. The closest I could ever come to supporting him was when he was an Expo

 

[OneManGang]

Made me sad how he looked in the last half of that clip

Who wins?

A team of the best of Dominican Republic or best of Japan?

also why is baseball not popular in Africa?

GOAT pitcher. We'll never see anyone like him again, especially at his size. His prime was magical.

Why should it be popular in Africa?

 

[Walt]

The biggest indicator of just how strong those Yankee teams were during that era was how many big games they won against him. He was a one of one.

 

[Rekkapryde]

He should've been the first pitcher to win MVP, not Verlander.


If you don't fukk with Pedro, you a c00n. (or Haitian...since yall got beef).


edit: Mad his son don't got a Jheri Curl. What a disappointment
