I'm ready. Do you think you can hit Pedro? Yes. I hope to see you. Get your swing ready, kid. Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose. I will meet with baseball legend Pedro Martinez. Pedro will show me how to throw some of his best pitches. Then we'll see if I can land a hit on him. Did you play baseball? I've always been a big baseball fan. But I didn't grow up in the best living conditions. So there came a point where basketball was the answer and I took advantage of it. What was your motivation? For me, it's about bringing the trophy back to Boston after 86 years. Now, for you, how does it feel to be the owner of New York? It was something I really couldn't put into words. It was incredible. But my favorite part of winning a championship
was seeing my parents when the buzzer sounded. And that they would see their son achieve something they never thought possible. That'll be a memory for a lifetime, huh? Forever. We waited 86 years. We only waited 53. Come, I'll show you some. Before meeting him today, I definitely had to make sure I was prepared. So I asked Google Search for help. How good was Pedro Martinez really? The greatest and most dominant pitching era in history. With an ERA below 2.0, that kid was on fire. The gear shifter, considered the best gear shifter ever released. Okay, let me see here. What makes the change circle different from a normal change?
Basically, the grip. It changes how the ball spins, moves, and falls. It sounds crazy. For me, the straight line was like that. His fingers were very flexible, that's why he threw so hard. And the change. That's what I really want to know. That's what I really want. Yes, but remember that a good change comes after a good straightaway. So I would throw a fastball and after the fastball, the changeup. So that's the correct grip? Yes. I just read that. It looks the same, but when you use this one instead of the other two, it doesn't have as much power and it comes out of that finger. You don't have the strength of these two. That's why you remove them
and create the cycle of change. You make them think it's going to be a straight, straight, straight shot, then boom, it's a change and because of the grip the ball goes 10 miles per hour less. That's why you Ah, yes, like boom! You catch him and then it's just.a mind game. It's a mind game then. A kind of cat and mouse game. I want to see the speed change. That 's my specialty. hook them. And then that soft launch. That's great. Right there. Move your fingers because you want to have it between these two fingers now. Grab the change. Now it's like you're flicking a basketball with your fingertips to that side so the ball goes that way. Keep your hand loose.
Good. When was the last time you batted? Do n't know. A long time ago. Let me tell you something, I'm going to be the one to throw you the batting practice pitches. I want to see if you can hit my pitches. Come on. Get your swing ready, kid. You know a straightaway is coming, right? Yes. Huh? Foul. Raised, out. I'm not being stingy. Three. Ah, another foul. I just have to wait a little longer. You have to get at least one hit. Third time at bat, don't worry. Oh. This time he wasn't going for the first pitch. Oh, hit. I finally got a hit.
I'm ready. I'm going to start throwing effects. Uh-oh. always seems like it's going to go far away, but it stays right here. Ball. Good choice. See, I'm on a roll. No. One, two. It's getting good. Don't throw the fastball. Look at this. Three. Ball. I caught you. Welcome to the world of gear shifting. I told you I made a living with that pitch. It 's difficult. Now that I see your pitches, I understand why you have an effectiveness of less than two.
You still have the touch. Just make sure you show me my hip. From New York to Boston, that's how we move. It was fun. Thanks, Google.
