Every morning we review the nastiest pitches from the previous day'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.
Blake Treinen's Slider - Now that Dusty Baker announced Treinen as his closer, I expect plenty more GIFs to be made of Treinen as his stuff is so pretty to watch. Check out this 3-2 Slider to Justin Bour that had a massive amount of vertical movement at 90mph to avoid the slugger's bat by a foot. (Thanks to @andrew_vargha for the tip!)
You need to get on the Ryan Dull train. That boys slider is nasty even when people know its coming.
What in the world was that 98mph from Diaz?! I let out an audible “w..t..f..” That thing is ridiculous
