This one is going to be tough. On one hand, you have one of the liveliest fastballs you’ll ever see, getting a rugged swing from slugger Nelson Cruz as Lance McCullers’ fastball zooms across the entire plate and into no-man’s land. But to grant McCullers a spot in the finals means denying Adam Ottavino his chance at the title with a slider that someone bent its way from hitting the batter to nipping the inside corner. It’s black magic vs. black magic and there’s no wrong answer.
