Have you watched this guy pitch? He's a reliever for San Francisco. He has the craziest pitch I've ever seen and it's baffling batters. Now some are demanding that it be outlawed. All I can say is that he learned to throw it. They can learn to hit it. They're a bunch of liberal babies. Waa Waa. I can't do it so make him stop. Waa Waa

Watched him pitch on the tv a few nights ago. That would be a tough one to learn to read as it was coming at you.

We’ve heard the same thing about knuckleballs. They have a tough time reading it because the “dot” you look for on a slider is on the bottom. I think it’s pretty neat myself. BUT…. I’m glad I don’t have to try to hit it. 😀

Man, looking at the mechanics of that motion, I wonder how long his arm can stand it.

Bet he played a lot of wiffle ball as a kid!

Wicked. Actually that motion should be easier on his body than normal pitching. The thing is if they figure it out.

Have always heard that motion is easier on rotators.....would think the hips and lower back may get more stress.

The way he swings his whole upper body into it, I can't see any particular stress point. It's a controlled sweep.

Knuckle draggers always lose their back before their arm. I'm sure its worth it if you get to sign a few contracts in the Bigs. That pitch he throws is filthy. Nothing illegal about it.

I'm sure every coach he ever had tried to get him to change his pitching style, glad he didn't.

Thats hard for a batter to deal with but a lot of guys who have that style wind up with arm problems .

Imagine being the scout for that pitcher. Managers thinking the scout is daft. WTF is he doing??

Good as that pitch is someone will hit it.
Bangflop! another skinning job due to .260 and proper shot placement.
