Some pitchers are known for having an absolute rocket of an arm, and some are known for being able to make the ball move in all sorts of different ways before it lands in the catcher’s glove.

Chicago Cubs pitcher Brad Wieck is the latter.

On Monday afternoon the Cubs brought Wieck into the game to close things out in the top of the ninth inning and he brought some nasty stuff out with him. The first batter Wieck faced in the inning was Kyle Seager, who he struck out, but the pitch he delivered for strike-three was so disgusting that it made Seager flinch in the batter’s box.

Seager thought for sure that he was about to get plunked by the pitch and he took cover expecting it to happen. However, once he opened his eyes and came to he realized he was a victim of one of the most ridiculous pitches a lot of baseball fans have ever seen and walked back to the dugout in confusion.



Wieck didn’t earn a save in his inning of work, but he did manage to strike out two of the three batters he faced and didn’t give up a single hit while doing so.
