Domingo Germán throws a perfect game, a breakdown

let's go Yankees the fans are ready and

this breakdown is brought to you by

Shady Rays who work with us a lot and

they're giving you the best discount we

ever give anybody more about that later

on Domingo Herman's got work to do the

first pitch change up a way for ball one

now he went a lot of secondary pitches

that's a curveball four strike one and

one towards the end of this game and I'm

gonna break down the pitching and some

fun stuff this is just the ninth inning

fouled back he's got two strikes on him

he's taking his time he's breathing he's

thinking all about it ground ball ropey

gobbles it up throws across for the easy

first out of Father and Son witnessing

history gotta love that first pitch pop

up to center field they're gonna make it

easy on them I guess it's been somewhat

easy let's go oh

one more one more out and only one more

pitch needed a ground ball to Donaldson

and at this moment before he even throws

it Severino is celebrating and gleber is

looking into the cooler to see if

there's any liquid in it because he

wants to throw it on Domingo then the

ball gets thrown the out gets recorded

we got a little jump spin and then a

kind of like yes come hug me all of you

my children I thank thee uh big

celebration

everyone's just very happy higgy catches

a perfect game he caught a no-hitter

couple seasons ago now he catches a

perfect game he's in history The Dugout

response labor says all right all right

never mind screw this I don't have

anyone to carry it with me

judge stays back kind of limping it in

that same shot on the left here is the

translator or interpreter what's the

correct word Marlin and he's looking on

very intense he spends a lot of time

with Domingo

and then you have I like this instead of

being alone because not a player is not

a coach but he's part of the team

hitting coach Brad Wilkerson he

celebrates with him right away look

let's go buddy I like that that made me

smile as a nice little wholesome moment

Domingo's uncle passed away a couple

days ago he said he spent all of the day

prior crying about that and maybe that's

who he's

pointing up to and talking to right

there I don't know just making an

assumption based on what we know all

right let's go back to how he got this

perfect game he threw three pitches he

threw a fastball mostly top of the Zone

he threw a change up that starts left

got arm Side Run and he threw a

curveball his curveball is really like

tight little humpback curveball in all

three pitches together looked like that

so they all play off each other well now

there's a couple of bats I want to walk

through just to show you what I thought

was cool and I've done this with Domingo

earlier in the year I did a breakdown on

this but I I like how he pitches because

he kind of finds the outside line and

then plays with it so pitch number one

he wants the call there doesn't get it

so he goes back to the same pitch a

little closer in and gets the strike

call now this is pitch one and two

overlaid and they are a little different

and the one a little more inside did get

called a strike so now that he's found

that outside line he's gonna play with

it with the change up and gets the

strike call there as well so here's the

fastball that called strike and change

up called strike

92 miles per hour 85 different movement

both get called a strike he's going to

stay outside and try to beat him to that

spot again with the fastball I just love

the consistency so here's the change up

and then the fastball and then here's

all four of those pitches overlaid and

he's just

messing with that spot and that line and

now that he's got the hitter reaching

out to hit that pitch and kind of

thinking about it he's going to come in

with the curveball that might have been

a mistake I'm not sure if you wanted to

come in but he gets the easy pop-up is

it easy ikf he got it imagine that in

the third inning that would have been

bad all right now here's where he

started to fall in love with his

curveball but he got a little smart

about it he tries to go curveball first

pitch it doesn't have any break

curveball second Pitch tries to find it

again still no break now it's 2-0 that's

a fastball count and the hitters like

yep

he can't locate his curveball for a

strike he's gonna go fastball but

instead Herman triples up the curveball

and gets a big swing and a miss then

what's he gonna do now he's throwing

three curveballs so you can go fastball

now you know he goes change up just to

mix it up a little bit three in one

another fastball count

he's thrown three balls he's wild with

his off speed he's got to throw me a

fastball now nope another curve drops

the batter to his knee Full Count

another curve he threw it three times in

a row and then threw a change up then

then he threw it twice now the next

batter comes up and he's gonna open him

up curveball

and it's working

so you think the catcher says hey let's

do the curveball you know I don't want

to throw it so the change up then no I

don't want to throw that I want to stay

on my fastball

fastball he Yanks it it's not good

catcher says all right let's go change

up her curve he says no let's stay with

the fastball let's make them protect the

fastball as well well there's a strike

with the fastball and another one so we

went three fastballs in a row and then

after that now back to the Curve

foul ball now back to the curve foul

ball well back to it again gets him and

on that third one you can see higgy sets

up uh well we got pitches to waste and

he's swinging so let's move outside a

little bit and they get him I like that

I like that he was like I got a nasty

curveball right now but I can't throw

just curves I gotta mix in the fastballs

it was three three three three there's

always a defensive playing perfect games

this is the the biggest one it's not

huge it's not like the you know Dwayne

wise catch but

it's a nice play by Rizzo

it wasn't a lot of hard hit Balls by the

ace I mean that's a hard hit ball and

that's a nice play by Rizzo but usually

you get a ton the Yankees put up 11 runs

so Herman had to do a lot of things at

one point he to stay loose he starts

stretching

I like this the A's broadcast we're

showing a lot of the stretching and then

a lot of him talking to the pitching

coach Matt Blake where he's talking

about no no not that one there's some

change up what's that and Matt Blake's

going over it with them and talking

about it and saying where to throw it

and all that in between things they were

going over all the batteries like middle

down you're gonna get this swing and

they're gonna ground it but Up and Away

that's smashed and he's like okay good

to know good to know and then this was

the plan you can basically see he says

oh keep the fastball up

change way at the bottom and then hook

in the curve and you got it you're all

good and he's going over the Batters

like the next two batters all fastballs

and curveballs away all right bring it

into him let him make him try to pull it

okay so they're going over it in between

every inning Matt Blake was there in his

Corner basically I liked seeing that and

then this was uh kind of funny Domingo

Herman got suspended for sticky stuff on

his hands earlier this year

he just reapplied rosin I'm guessing

because it looks like he's messing with

his hands you can see pitching coach

Matt Blake be like hey hey hey hey give

me your hand let me feel how sticky are

you Domingo's like okay here's my right

hand what do you think do you think it's

legal I don't want to get us in trouble

he's like yup just making sure okay

you're all good to go

I gotcha and yeah the umpires checked

him twice a couple times during the game

as well now let's break down the top

hugs at the end of the game Rizzo has

the game ball he says here you go dude

that's history and then two Pats there

two Pats down low and then two Pats in

the front then Bader comes in and

they're gonna jump hug that was a nice

one pitching coach Matt Blake big old

hug like I said he was helping him and

then Boone's waiting in the wings and

this is a fatherly hug here with some

words of wisdom and advice and

congratulations and pride in his ear and

Domingo lets him soak it in and he says

thank you and all that and then you got

Harkey gets a big old bear hug lifts him

up everybody loves it Cole whoa

whoa nice hug from Cole they're also

going to embrace for a little bit and

chat and Domingo seems happy to chat

with him and then cole looks at him

really proud like Freeze Frame ending of

a movie proud they got jug with a hug a

little bit of a chat a pull away patch

to the chest pulls him back in that's

just

a guy who knows what he's doing I'm

gonna embrace you we're gonna separate

I'm gonna look you in the eye and Pat

you on the chest say you I'm proud of

you and then I'm going to bring you back

in for the real deal good stuff Rizzo

with the rookie Volpe at the back of the

pack while they're doing interviews just

gives them a little bump here he's like

dude

Let's Go part of History baby there's

also this moment where the Yankees are

hanging out in the background behind the

interviews and I see Rizzo tapping

people and he's like yo so I go to him

and say you know he's perfect right

they're like perfect game and then they

just laugh and it's just the boys

cracking jokes and sharing Stories part

of History Now The Catcher And pitcher

relationship is always one of my

favorites and you can see that after

Domingo looks up to the heavens he finds

higgy again and gives him a nice Embrace

I love the catcher pitcher relationship

but I also love this as higgy leaves you

got catching coach Tanner Swanson coming

up to higgy like yeah baby and Trevino

the other catcher on the roster so this

is a little catcher threesome right here

all given higgy props and being proud

for him and I love it because what higgy

did all game was give him props give

Domingo props up yep oh beautiful yep
