Every Monday we review the nastiest pitches from the previous weekends'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.
Congrats to Blake Treinen's Fastball for winning Nastiest Pitching GIF of the Week! Treinen had two chances this week to win the crown with his hard firing two seamer and earned himself a spot in the GIF tournament.
Rich Hill's Curveball - Hill broke out this weekend with a performance reminiscent of his sterling 2016 season. This back-foot Curveball has the parabola like feel of a Clayton Kershaw Curveball with more side to side movement. Jose Pirela had no chance.
God I want Gausman to be good =(
