Touki's Curve

[striker42]

Saw this on Twitter this morning and had to post it. I don't think I've ever seen a baseball move like that. It looks like he's throwing a wiffle ball.

It's going to take some time for him to be able to always control it, but if he does he could downright dominating.

Whatever, I see little kids throwing breaking balls like that all the time:

1984-1990 Dwight Gooden had the most impressive curve I've ever seen

Good to see the Timmy got a job somewhere, even if it is just a commercial.

Since the beginning of June:

GS: 11

IP: 61

K/9: 10.33

BB/9: 4.28

HR/9: 1.03

AVG: .209

WHIP: 1.25

ERA: 3.25

FIP: 4.28

The homeruns are a little high and the walks are a little high, but basically Touki has been awesome for a third of a season. He's getting closer and closer to what he needs to be.

He was always going to be a project with a big arm that was going to take a lot of time to become good. still a ways to go, but the improvement is what you need/want to see.

Touki, Allard, Newcomb, Allard, Wentz, Muller, Soroka, And Anderson is crazy

Fried? Feigl? (Okay, maybe Feigl is a stretch, but who knows?)

Thats gross. Not sure how he throws it for strikes without it coming out of his hand looking like its over the batters head.

 

[Hudson2]

Forgot about Fried and he's one of my favorites.

 

[Russ2dollas]

I still don't think he puts it all together. But if he puts it part of the way together he could be a nasty RP with his velocity and that curve.

Still love that trade.

Supposedly had a hammer curve as well.

Didn't this video make the rounds last year too

If it's landing in the strike zone, I hope it looks like it's over the batter's head.
