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.
One of his most ridiculous pitches was a 91-MPH breaking ball that Twins right fielder Trevor Larnach had no chance of hitting.
Check out the movement at the very end of this thing:

Not sure what you’re supposed to do with that.
MLB fans were rightfully in awe.

I think I have a better chance to win a match with a bear in bare knuckle boxing than hitting Sandy Alcantara https://t.co/OSckRkKmes

I refuse to believe this is even possibly hittable https://t.co/jjEWKrxV18
