Chaz Roe's Slider - The 31-year-old is getting a ridiculous 12.5 inches of horizontal break on this pitch so far, which is up from 2017's 9.8 (the average righty sits at roughly 2.8 inches). That's so awe-inspiring, even his catcher couldn't track it—at least not on this offering to Philadelphia's Scott Kingery.
Poor Kingery.
Oh no! Adam Ottavino’s Slider is losing to Adam Ottavino’s Slider!
