Like the previous pair, it’s a battle between a mind-bending Slider and a hard heater with crazy good lateral movement. Drew Storen seems to make this ball change its mind right before it hits the plate, diving feet off out of the zone and away from Mookie Betts‘ bat. Meanwhile, Aaron Sanchez hurls a heavy Fastball that starts at Matt Wieters‘ chest before taking a right-turn and easily hitting the strike zone. Both are well deserving of the next round, but only one can make it. Which pitch deserves to be standing for the final weekend?
