Not a knuckleball

Nice, I thought I had an acid flashback.

I bet it would be hard to hit.. look at all of them coming at him

I am surprised he missed with all those balls to swing at.

So there are no physics?

Anybody else think this animation makes it harder to see?

It's fine right up until the end, I have no idea what happens to it before I see it flying off to the side.

But how does he know what ball to catch
retardedcyclops69
You can see the extra webbing on the catchers glove, making it bigger than normal since the knuckleball is such a mother fucker catch.

Since the ball doesn't have much spin the low pressure is everywhere, so it doesn't where to go. The ball curves where the low pressure is.

Damn reminds of that video of the pitcher that broke his own arm throwing a baseball

The catchers cant even catch the damn thing. Which means its not the safest strike out pitch.

Some knucklers have a dedicated catcher. Doug Mirrabelli used to catch Tim Wakefield all the time despite Varitek being a better catcher

They don't really strike people out, they produce ground balls and fly outs. And the velocity on the pitch is low so its tough to hit hard.
Dickey, at least in his CY young year, separated himself that way. His knuckle had SO much juice on it, and d'Arnauld was a good backstop

My great-great uncle is in the baseball hall of fame because of his knuckleball.

For those of us who don't baseball, what's a knuckleball?

Ball thrown with minimal spin, resulting in a chaotic trajectory. Called so since it used to involve holding the ball with your knuckles.
bobjacobsom
There is a documentary on Netflix called Knuckleball. Tells the story of the pitch and the chaotic career of the very few guys who throw it.
AHorticulturistIsJustANerdyGardener
I saw that. Turned it on b/c 10+ years ago my best friend said if he had a son, he'd teach him how to throw knuckleballs from the get-go.
Did he have a son? Is he a knuckleballer?
2) Almost missed the username. Flagpole Sitta was part of our set a few eons ago. Nice.
Glad someone understands that reference. People often assume I'm into eugenics. haha
Nope. I was given a Goddaughter instead. She might end up a knuckleballer - first she'll have to master walking and not shitting her diaper.

How does the ball multiply so much in the air?
goofyhobbes
I know everyone is feeding the sarcasm train, but as an editor, you can go frame by frame, pull the image into PS/AE and track the ball in.

Try catching it, broke my thumb a few times in HS from a knuckleballer. Also, you get really good at defense when catching these fuckers
