Cal Pitcher Has Greatest Trick Pitch Ever Seen

University of California’s Ryan Mason knows how important accuracy is for the success of a pitcher. In a warmup session, or possibly practice, Mason tossed a baseball into a moving cylinder like it was nothing.

Nothing but tube. Just an absolutely mesmerizing trick. That is a hard thing to do. Take it from me, a former pitcher who could hit his spots about 80 percent of the time, and the batter the other 20 percent.

Mason has translated that accuracy on the mound, too. This season he’s posted a respectable 6-2 record with a 2.69 ERA while striking out 47 batters compared to only 18 walks in 11 starts. That’s not too shabby.

    Yeah, but the object is to miss the circular thing flying through the strike zone.

    Just like I told my high school math teacher, I’m never going to use that in real life.

    Shame nobody on campus noticed because they’re all busy protesting capitalism and telling me to check my privilege.
