For the past couple of years, Kenley Jansen has had one of the best cutters in the game. It’s been mentioned in conversations with the same pitch that helped Mariano Rivera enjoy a Hall of Fame career.
It’s easy to see why.
Jansen struck out Chris Denorfia to end Saturday’s Padres-Dodgers game with that absolutely filthy pitch seen in the video above.
Pitches that are thrown that hard are not supposed to move that much. How is that even possible? That almost looks like Randy Johnson’s slider, except it’s hard and has sharper movement.
Seriously, how can he possibly throw that pitch? It just defies physics.
Man oh man, I could just watch that video on loop all day. That is baseball p*rn for you. If that pitch were a girl, I’d want to sleep with it. That is just such a sexy, sexy pitch.
