This Diamondbacks Submariner Is Nasty | Antonio Menendez
Antonio Menendez bullies hitters ๐
The submarine-heavy approach last season kept him from what made him elite, so they rebuilt his three-quarter slot, cleaned up his pelvic positioning, and brought back the multi-slot variability.
They also added an 84-85 mph curveball from the highest slot. ๐คข

Sitting 90-92 with that arm slot ๐ฅ
That's a little predictable. Once he reaches two strikes he always throws a breaking ball, regardless of the actual count. Ik it's a pitching showcase, but the hitters gotta catch up with the knowledge quick.
Bruh who are these hitters
That slide piece out of the 5pm hole is filthy
Gross
The movement on those pitches is absolutely insane
Catchers are pretty wild too
Sidearm not Submariner
If the batter stood farther, he could watch those strikes go right by him more
If i was a lefty w velocity id learn to be a submariner. Almost guaranteed to make it
That type of movement with multiple angles is insane
The third guy gets it but just didnt stay in there for the last pitch and im like damn๐
First time Iโve seen a submariner pitch 90+ ๐ฅ
Hats off to people able to hit these type of pitches.
Up to almost 92 sidearm in a bullpen session. Dude probably has another mph or 2 in a game situation. My god
That changeup/sinking pitch at 1-2 on the lefty was absolutely nasty
Understandable. Welcome back Brad Ziegler and Byung Hyun Kim.
Why is my shoulder suddenly hurting
He's pretty ass lol
wild side arm pitches
My favorite type of pitchers to hit off of ๐
Elbow surgery in a year
Definition of "movement" and on top of that the speed! Oh let's not forget him switching up pitching styles. Watched this reel 7 times!! Great job bro!! โพ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฏ
It looks like he's throwing strikes from 3 arm angles. The ball could be spinning 10 to 16 ways that are totally different depending on the slot of the pitch๐ฎFastball, cut, sinker, slider, curve, changeup,.. It becomes even more of a guessing game to the batter. That's what makes hitting a Baseball the hardest thing to do in Sports. All about Geometry & Physics if you wanna play so study up
Will blowout his elbow in no time.
Holy cow ๐ฎโ๐จ
Play inside the the box if he hits you itโs his wild pitching but heโs mostly throwing it towards the out of the strike zone a lot
This is how I would imagine jack Doyle in the mlb
Should donate is arm to a museum if it lasts
The Eck would be proud. ๐ช๐พ
Hitting a MLB fast ball maybe the most athletically impressive skill there is. Do it 2 times out of 10 and you're a professional. Do it 3 times out of 10 and you are in the hall of fame…do it 4–10 consistently and you're a Japanese robot ๐
This pitcher can be the future of how pitchers can be more versatile and to get the upper hand on batters.
91 mph subamrine delivery is wicked
