The Movement on This Sandy Alcantara Pitch Had MLB Fans Wondering How Anyone Ever Gets a Hit

Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcántara is the defending National League Cy Young Award winner and it already looks like he should be the favorite to win that trophy again this year. 

Alcántara was lights out in Tuesday night’s win over the Minnesota Twins. He pitched another complete game (a game that finished under two hours at 1:57) in which he gave up just three hits and had five strikeouts.

MLB fans were rightfully in awe.
