Yu Darvish's Slider - Friday night's matchup was spectacular in the Bronx as both Darvish and Tanaka performed at the top of their games. Darvish got the edge in the end, with help from his Slider that stands with the elite in the league. Just look at how badly Aaron Hicks misses this pitch. (Thanks to @ScazHero for the tip!)
Gotta go with Blake #2 because that pitch has more movement than most guy’s changups.
