"I'd rather they hit the batter, than miss over the middle of the plate" 😆 Love it. Super interesting little chat. Love how Pedro is still creating plans for players who are playing now.
98mph with a change up that broke like a splitter… Pedro could do whatever he wanted. But alas he played for the worst team in sports history 🤬 If I could pitch like Pedro I would pound Judge inside under his hands 98-97 and then stay away with that nasty change up over the outside corner. But lots of fastballs. Just don't leave it over the plate up cuz we all see what happens to that… 460 ft. Judge is hard to beat right now though. He's staying down on the ball and doing what he's supposed to be doing thinking hit the ball to right center. He was pulling off the ball a lot before he got hurt and was fouling off lots of hittable pitches… he's staying on it right now and lots of balls are becoming valuable souvenirs.
This is exactly what I keep saying, this is why pitching has been sucking and games having high scoring games. Cause they can't hit locations and you have pitching coaches that won't practice them hitting locations and catchers who don't set up location for a pitcher anymore. The game sucks and if we finally see a good kitchen again like Pedro Greg Maddux then Aaron judge be going for a lot of hat tricks.
pedro martinez hit everyone. His philosophy was hitting hitters so they were afraid to crowd the plate and then he would go away with his pitches. these days he would be ejected and fined to many times to just hit people every game. he also wouldn't be able to use any substance o the ball and he would be average pitcher to good pitcher but not what he was.

Wow tons of insight here….not trying to be an ass here. I learned a lot from this short clip
Y'all just gonna pretend like Steroids are Not Back in the MLB????
Steriods!!!
Always a smart take from Pedro.
Thinking Pedro turns down offers to be a MLB pitching coach. Daily. Constantly. Always learn something when Pedro speaks.
If you can ALWAYS provide a reason for a fastball too far in? You might be Pedro Martinez.

Pedro, your my favorite pitcher of all time besides satchel paige and nolan Ryan.
Let Tony have his singles🤣🤣🤣
Here worked so hard on the outside part of the plate because the inside part was EASY for him lol.
Somewhere, there's a clip on YouTube where he talks with Ted Williams about the insider pitch and Ted Williams forced him to learn to turn on it.
Game 1 1998 world series. Moonshot off the upper deck. That's what can happen when you go inside and gwynn decides to put datass into it
