Lance Lynn's Fastball - Lynn isn't known for stunning batters with a Two-Seamer, however he pulled off the pitch plenty last night in Arizona and this one to Jake Lamb was easily our favorite. This pitch was en route to Lamb's belt before making a hard right turn over the inside corner and deserves our love.
That slider was not close to Kershaw’s most impressive pitch last night. There were so many sliders and curveballs that had crazy sharp break and got whiffed on.
It’s hard to argue against that – everything Kershaw throws is just filthy. What I love about this one is that it’s an element of his success that is rarely documented yet is just so deadly. This is an 0-2 pitch that clearly lands in the zone but isn’t even swung at. Amazing.
