You know it’s gross when Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France takes a swing like this. That ball is probably behind a left-handed hitter to show just how fooled France was on this pitch. And what a funky delivery…
Do yourselves a favor and follow Pitching Ninja for more content like this.
He kind of looks like a right handed version of Sale. Sale’s motion and frame are a lot like his.
