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 Aroldis Chapman's Slider for winning Nastiest Pitching GIF of the Week! A ridiculous slider from a pitcher I'm sure we'll be featuring more of over the course of the season.
Ricky Nolasco's Curveball - Nolasco has had many ups and downs over his career as a vagabond back of the rotation starter. Now in Anaheim, Nolasco has always been able to miss bits, and with this pitch he spins a nice curveball that makes Nelson Cruz flinch more than a little. (Thanks to @pbhart20 for the tip).
