Video: R.A. Dickey Breaks Down His Knuckleball

March 19th, 2008 Shinsano · 1 Comment

Really fun clip here as R.A. Dickey, who has a good chance of making the Mariners (and knocking Baek Cha-seung off the team), talks at length about his knuckleball. Jim Caple is the unfortunate trying to catch the thing.

One of the more interesting points is that Dickey says he throws his knuckleball faster than most people, often topping out at 81 mph, whereas most stay in the upper 60s range.

I got this from my new favorite Reds site — Seeing Red

    [...] It looks like R.A. Dickey will make the Mariners opening day roster with his successful spring training and AAA season. Let’s hope he makes the roster, knucklers are always fun to watch. EWC article and amusing video here. [...]
