Slow-Motion Video Of MLB Pitching Prospect's Knuckleball Is Mesmerizing

The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.

Filthy. And knuckleballers can throw 150 pitches a game

IWHI

Idk know why more pitchers don't knuckleball. If you good at it, you can play until 154 years old.

My jayxxon would rock that shite so deep

I throw this to my boy in the back yard all the time. He grins every time he sees the motionless seams headed his way.

All of you knuckleball enthusiasts here I suggest reading Ball Four, Jim Boutins diary of the 1969 MLB season while he tries to stay in the majors with his knuckleball. Better-listen to the audiobook because he reads it and dear god it’s funny. And he was pretty much blackballed because of it.

I hated trying to hit the drifters.

I wasn't mesmerized.

Its so odd. Had a guy in high school who threw this and it would come at you at 45 mph but the bat just seemed to not be able to touch it. As soon as you had a bead on it it would move.

My son has an absolutely useless skill - a knuckleball football throw and it is absolutely amazing how it moves.

“ has not yet made his MLB debut”. That’s an understatement. He’s in A+ ball

I was more mesmerized by the amount of big leaguers that were struck out by the slow pitch.

I feel it's extremely hard to make it in MLB as a Knuckler. All I can name is Tim Wakefield

I have seen a knuckleball drop 90 degrees six feet in front of batter and not bounce.

They defy physics.

I'd smash that ball all over the ballpark.
