If there’s one thing readers have shown during their votes this season, it’s that they love Fastballs with boatloads of horizontal movement. Josh Osich’s heater to Andrew McCutchen may be the prettiest of the season, as it featured smooth late movement from the outside corner to the batter’s box at a blistering 98 mph. Meanwhile, Matt Bush got much love with his right-handed iteration despite not even inducing a strike from patient Joe MauerWill the whiff be enough to push Osich over the edge, or will Bush’s exaggerated movement give him the nod?
