Default Rob Friedman, @PitchingNinja

https://twitter.com/PitchingNinja

If you don't know who Rob Friedman is ... now you do. My favorite Twitter account. His pitch sequence overlay GIFs are awesome. The ones of Scherzer and Severino are mind-blowing.

Feel free to post your favorites! I'll start -- saw this one today and it slayed me.

One of these days I'll figure out how to post Twitter GIFs inline (looks like I have to download something called "Tweet2GIF", ugh).

Anyway, Corey Kluber is mean.

Seriously, that Maddux 2-seamer. If you told me the video was altered/fake I would believe you... it's that nasty.

While all 4 pitches are disgusting, Maddux's two seamer looks the most like a video game.

What's worse is the catcher sets up on the outside corner to further fool the hitter.

If you guys haven't seen the GIFs of Touki Toussaint's fastball and slider from Sunday, check them out. Pretty nasty stuff.

Still an awesome Twitter account. I roll through it about once a week.

Side note: Check out this thread he retweeted, where Trevor Bauer explains in great detail how he (Bauer) helped Mike Clevinger sustainably increase his velocity. Great stuff.

Morton is nasty. Blake "The Witch" Treinen (circa 2018) and almost all Tyler Glasnow are my @PitchingNinja faves

Never heard someone describe someone’s curveball as “bowel locking”. That’s a forever quote.
