re: Can Somebody Please Explain What The Georgia Closer Is Doing In This Video?

I think he is just peeing in a botttle in the corner…

Every single game. pro and. college..
every single pitcher.. both teams..
grabs his hat between pitches..
90+% of the time..

That didn’t use to happen..
you do the math..

They are all using sticky stuff..

And yes, if helps fastballs too..
a stronger grip allows more control..
and consequently more RPM..
and more movement..
even on fastballs..

All that being said. this is a bad look..
but all the pitchers are doing it..

bingo. they deadened the bats and instead of going back, they just changed the balls instead to make them more hitter friendly, at the expense of pitching.
