Julio Urias Channels ‘The Matrix’ In Slow-Mo Of His ‘Slurve’ Pitch

But unfortunately for the Oakland A’s JJ Bleday, it was real. Good thing he froze, because trying to make contact with the pitch might have proved embarrassing.

But he still has the stuff in him, as Pitching Ninja showed in a slow-motion of his “slurve” (hybrid of a slider and curveball).

Pitching Ninja’s Rob Friedman estimated 19 inches of horizontal break on the throw, but we’re too mesmerized to measure.
