This angle of Corey Kluber’s breaking ball with 17 inches of break is absolutely mesmerizing

MLB pitchers can do some silly things with baseballs these days. Did you see that beautiful pitch by Atlanta’s Charlie Morton earlier this week? The one that started like 9 feet out of the strike zone before painting the corner for a called third strike?

It was so beautiful. I probably watched it like 50 times.

Well, now I have another incredible pitch that I can’t stop watching and it was thrown by Tampa’s Corey Kluber. Like Morton’s, this thing had 17 inches of break and the way it zips in to the catcher’s mitt is absolutely wild to me. It was also wild to the Angels’ Jared Walsh, who didn’t know what to do with it.

Check this out:

Mesmerizing. So much spin!

It’s just takes that turn to the mitt like it’s being controlled by a remote control.

Twitter loved it.
