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 First Half! A Fastball thrown hard and with this amount of movement is amazing to watch. Treinen also got traded yesterday so it was an eventful weekend in real life and here at Pitcher List.
Chris Sale's Slider - The Sale trade this offseason with the White Sox is looking like a steal right now no matter what Yoan Moncada and Michael Kopech turn out to be. The Red Sox got their ace of now and the future at a cheap cost going forward. Here Gary Sanchez thinks he's getting a Fastball in his happy zone before the ball ends up close to his back-foot. Nasty. (Thanks to Redditor TheBrimic for the tip!)
