Forget Liriano for MVP.
That pitch is deadly. Talk about break.

Wow. That has to be difficult. He has to underhand a pitch from behind his back 60.5 feet. I can't imagine that's good for the arm

I'm wondering if it's legal in MLB? Maybe I'll practice and tryout for the Devil Rays! (I'm 38)

Is it intentional? The fact that it was a called strike makes it well worth watching.

Hey, pal, age a few more years and you can get a Yankee contract. Make sure that you age well though. :D :p
Like an euphus pitch, that thing has to be used sparingly. To backhand a pitch like that would definitely catch everyone by surprise. I'd consider this as strike 3.
Can you imagine the hitter studying your body, your hands, your motion, telltale signs and this thing comes out? Heck, even the ump would be bewildered.

Shouldn't there be attendance at an All-Star Game or whatever this is? And I thought Japan would have more ads.
Mercy strike? I've seen closer ones on IBBs. Gotta follow through, he might hit one two feet outside the zone! He could throw the bat, right?
They also have Phil Niekro knuckling various 130-lb Cardinals and driving his catcher insane.
