Devin Williams, Insane Airbender. 😯

How it started.

How it ended. 🤯

And, Devin also throws upper 90s.

The "I just threw the best pitch in the history of baseball" K Strut.

For those who are new to the Airbender--baseball's most absurd pitch:

The average MLB changeup has a spin rate of 1,767 rpm; Williams's average is 2,852. Opposing hitters hit .032 against his changeup, and it has a 61.1% whiff rate.

Jack Leiter, 10th K. 🔥

In PitchingNinja land, I sometimes give a pitcher credit for an extra K. 😉

[That was his 9th K]

Jack Leiter's K Strut game with some noticeable improvements....✔️

Kumar Rocker, Fastball/Slider, Overlay (home plate view)

[original video by @burkegranger]

LOL.

Good freakin' luck

Those mechanics are overlaid. No tricks.
His slider is low-mid 80s.
FB is mid-upper 90s.
As a hitter, you're trying to square that up, with both movement & velo differences.
