Send us a tweet next time @ThePitcherList and we'll GIF it up + give you a shoutout here in the article.
Congrats to Corey Kluber's Slider for winning Nastiest Pitching GIF of the Week! The pitch has taken the crown for two straight weeks. Should be fun pitting them against each other in the first half tournament.
Jake Junis' Slider - If you're not a Royals fan, you may not be aware of Junis, but his breaking ball certainly deserves your attention. Check out the late bite on the pitch as Kevin Pillar came up empty-handed as he chased the pitch out of the zone to end the second frame on Friday.
