 We've got an incredibly fun at bat here between Shohei Otani and Nestor Cortez, and it is brought to you by the morning brew, a free daily newsletter delivered Monday through Sunday. And let me explain, and some people watch these that don't know a ton about that baseball, but they enjoy the videos. Otani on the left is a phenom, and he's hitting home runs at an incredible pace, and that was a home run on June 13th, and he's just breaking pitchers' hearts or their necks or their souls. In June 18th, he hit two home runs. June 19th, he hit a home run. June 20th, he hits a home run. June 25th, he's hitting a home run. June 27th, he hits a home run. June 28th, hits a home run against the Yankees. Now, on this date, June 29th, he hits one home run. June 29th, it's two home runs. Now, this is June 29th. Nestor Cortez, on the other hand, he's an up and down pitcher, minors to majors, doesn't have great stuff, so he readily admits he relies on deception and messing up hitters' timing and doing stuff like you just saw and weird wind-ups and funky deliveries. You can see three right here on the left. You have a quick pitch. In the middle, you have his normal delivery, and on the right, you have, I'm gonna do whatever I wanna do and have some fun just to make you think about what I'm doing. So here he is against Shohei, who has two home runs in this game already, up to this point, gets a swinging strike there, normal delivery on the 78-mile-per-hour curve ball, then gets Shohei swinging big, big there and misses. So now, he's got two strikes and some wiggle room, so he's gonna have some fun. One pump, two pump, three pump, four pump, five pump, six pump, seven pump, eight pump, nine pump. Slow, like, and the umpire's like enough, enough. And Shohei's like, what are you doing, man? Is this real? Mind a prank show or something? What's going on? Maybe the most, I've seen a lot of Nestor Cortez delivery, and then he goes straight for the quick pitch. I've seen a lot of Nestor Cortez funky deliveries to mess with the guy's timing. I've never seen this. He goes, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 10 or 11 pumps into the slowest leg kick before the umpire taps out. He's like, you lost me. I can't even keep up. But he's got Shohei disarmed, man. Shohei's laughing. Doesn't have the killer instinct. He gets pretty good wood on that curve ball, and Nestor's like, oh no, please stay in the park. Brett's got it for an out, and they're still laughing as they round the bases. Otani's just gonna start chuckling, thinking about it. Nestor Cortez is like, oh baby. Maybe all that nonsense work. How about that? And then Shohei looks at his teammates and he's like, what was that? I don't know, what was he doing? That was weird. Here's three different deliveries, Nestor showed Otani in this at bat. Got a lot of options here. It's all about timing. So some pitchers, if they don't think they got the stuff to get you out, they'll do this. Strowman does it, Cueto does it, a lot of pitchers do it.
