@strider881 Exactly what I was thinking.

[TeddyBearMonsters]

does this mean legally a woman can be on the Yankees?

[strider881]

She looks like Aoba Tsukishima from Cross Game manga xD

[phattown213]

she throws like a girl

She may just be sucsessful, Other notable knucklers pitched from a low 3/4 release piont, and the fact that knuckleballs dont need to be thrown hard might help this girl. best of luck t her

A cute little Japanese girl that throws a sidearmed knuckler? I'm in. I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around the mechanics of that pitch though. To throw a knuckler I thought that you basically push the ball through without spin. Seems odd to able to do that from the side but then a Japanese pitcher with a crazy pitch/delivery shouldn't surprise me at this point, right? I hope Eri's successful.
