It’s time for another edition of Unhittable, where we marvel at the wonder that is modern day pitching.

Thanks to pitching ninja, Rob Friedman, let’s take a look at Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Ranger Suarez’s 77mph Curveball.

Starts in the outer half of the zone and drops well outside and down. The fact it was left on left makes it even more deadly. That pitch was unhittable.

What is curve ball?

I assume it's a swing in the air. Unlike Cricket baseball ball does not touch the ground before reaching the batsmen.

It’s a pitch where pitchers rotate the ball diagonally as they throw to create a lot spin and make the ball curve.

Nice pitch. Definitely that was unhittable.
