A Twins minor-leaguer has an absolutely mesmerizing slow-motion video of his knuckleball
There is nothing more fun than a knuckleball, which — thank goodness — made its way back into the Majors thanks to Matt Waldron throwing one earlier this season for the San Diego Padres.
That is, there’s nothing more fun EXCEPT a slow-motion video of a knuckleball, which isn’t supposed to rotate much or at all to achieve its desired effect: To dart and move unexpectedly.
So, here you go: A slow motion knuckleball from Minnesota Twins prospect Cory Lewis. It’s incredible, a black-and-white slow mo video that makes the ball look like it’s floating. We wished it would finish to see it hit the catcher’s glove right in the strike zone, but it’s OK.
