The Greatest Pitch In Baseball History

September 20, 2010 by Mike 6 Comments

'I'm burning, I'm burning, I'm burning the bench'
Game 150: For George

Okay, I may be exaggerating there, but I think we can all agreed that Mariano Rivera’s cutter is the most devastating pitch of his generation. Albert Lyu at FanGraphs broke the pitch down today, looking at how Mo uses in to start an at-bat, when behind or ahead in the count, and with two strikes. Unsurprisingly, he’s pretty good at working the corners regardless of situation. Make sure you check it out, some great stuff in there.
