Everyone can learn from Park Suk-Min's casual spin and behind-the-back bat flip
The behind-the-back play isn't unusual in baseball -- for infielders. But what about hitters?
On Sunday, Park Suk-Min of the KBO's NC Dinos laced a ball into the right-center-field gap in his team's game against the Lotte Giants. But it was his follow-through, which involved an excellent spin and no-look bat toss, that really just has to be seen. Words don't do it justice:
