The 2-Seam Slider
Locked
Diamond Dynasty

I have been seeing more and more of this pitch, and as a washed up lefty with a [censored] shoulder, it is hilarious.
Explanation:
The grip and arm action of a slider makes it impossible to throw it any other way but glove side, laterally. Even if you try to throw it backdoor to a righty.
In today's moment vs Kershaw, he threw two "sliders" that started in the lefty batters box and broke FURTHER left.
This is called a 2-Seam fastball or perhaps a screwball.Or...
The pitchers arm falls off, perhaps, creating a 2-Seam affect.Something to consider for '23... Realistic pitch break.
Just a funny observation. -
