The braves had a pitcher in the 90s with the weirdo mental yips like the Cubs pitcher has. Except instead of first base, it was during intentional walks.

Can't remember his name, but he'd throw it 8 feet over catchers glove into net above back stop. On intentional walks.

I don't like to think about these things.

I think it was Mark Wohlers. Hell of a closer that was never the same after giving up that homer to Leyritz in game 4 of the 96 World Series. That shite was heartbreaking.

Mackey Sasser, a catcher for the Mets (I believe) used tap his glove 2-3 times every time he threw the ball back to the pitcher after a normal pitch. After awhile runners at first would take off and steal second easily.

The whole video is pretty good, but to see what I am talking about check out :51 in the video.
