Yu Darvish Freezes Mitch Haniger on Filthy 64 MPH Curveball for Strikeout

Off-speed pitches are the best weapon against MLB hitters, as guys are often looking for heat nearing triple digits and fail to recognize the lob coming toward home plate.

Such was the case for Seattle Mariners batter Mitch Haniger when Texas Rangers hurler Yu Darvish dialed up this filthy curveball that fell off the face of the map.

Not only did this pitch start above his head and end at his belt buckle – it also did so at 64 MPH and looked absolutely unhittable en route.

That’s just cruel.
