Every Monday we review the nastiest pitches from the previous weekends's games in glorious HD GIFs. Don’t forget to vote for your favorite pitch and check back this weekend to see if it will be in contention for the GIF of the First Half. Did we miss your favorite pitch? Send us a tweet next time @ThePitcherList and we'll GIF it up + give you a shoutout here in the article.
Congrats to Blake Treinen's Fastball for winning Nastiest Pitching GIF of the Week! 99 MPH with movement is just unfair.
Adam Ottavino's Slider - Ottavino came straight off the DL into his 8th inning role, and he did not disappoint. This Slider to Javier Baez is ridiculous in its crazy sweeping action. The pitch starts on the inside corner and before Baez can stop his swing the ball is in the opposite batter's box.
I want to vote, but I can’t… :|
I vote for ottavino
