Pedro is a savant. Brains of Maddux but more dynamic-best pitcher I’ve ever seen and I grew up watching Maddux regularly...I’ve always believed disproportionately long fingers give such an advantage to pitchers. Look at Pedro’s middle finger on the grip. It’s no wonder he couldn’t throw a 4 seam straight because it held the seam so long that there’s always a slight tilt. Amazing how he could manipulate the ball once he established himself. He would destroy baseball today with everyone’s aggressive upswings

He struckout thousands of batters and made them out of frustration cursed him out on their way to the dugout. A curve? A slider? A changeup or a fast ball? You guess...⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
