Submarine pitchers, a unique class of hurlers

Submarine pitchers are one of baseball’s most unique and fascinating types of hurlers. From Carl Mays dominating hitters in the 1920s to Dan Quisenberry excelling as an elite closer in the 1980s, and today’s Tyler Rogers, these pitchers release the ball at or below knee level with a distinctive underhand delivery. In East Asia, submariners have also made their mark: Shunsuke Watanabe (渡辺俊介), Byung Hyun Kim (김병현), and Kazuhisa Makita (牧田和久) have brought their own flavor to professional baseball with the rare submarine style. This video examines their mechanics, history, and why submarine pitchers remain a rare but highly effective weapon in the game. #SubmarinePitchers #CarlMays #DanQuisenberry #TylerRogers #ShunsukeWatanabe #渡辺俊介 #ByungHyunKim #김병현 #KazuhisaMakita #牧田和久 #BaseballHistory #UniquePitchingStyles
