Blake Fox deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his spectacular pickoff move last weekend. Despite allowing three runs in 7 1/3 innings on Saturday against Louisiana-Lafayette, the senior pitcher at Rice took the loss.

We have no idea if he planning the pickoff move or just saw the baserunner straying off first base when he was taking a breather between pitches. It’s also unclear if he borrowed the move from another pitcher.
