Kazuhisa Makita threw a 58 mph curveball that froze Trevor Story
There are a lot of pitches in baseball you probably know you can't hit.
But, every so often, something happens on the field that offers a glimmer of hope that we wouldn't look completely foolish. Take this 58 mph curve Padres reliever
That's a 58.1 mph pitch pretty much right in the middle of the plate. You probably think you could at least put that pitch in play, right?
That same pitch froze Story, though, so maybe it wouldn't be as easy to hit as it looked.
