Edwin Díaz throws a dominant inning, a breakdown

The Mets are up two runs on the Marlins in this game. It's the bottom of the ninth. So cue the trumpets because Edwin Diaz is coming in. He strikes out 52 percent of the batters he faces this year. And this is a dominant performance from him. Steps in, looks at the catcher hitter. OK, I can do this. I can do this. No, you can't. They go the three finger wiggle. So that's a slider. And he throws that one. Nice little like slight slide swings over. It was in the zone. Now they're going to go outside. Fastball doesn't quite get it outside because it's just too electric up and in the middle. Foul back. Oh, two. They're going to go back to the outside slider. And that one has a real nice sweeping movement. That's out number one. Strike, strike, strike. Next batter is a righty. So how do they attack him? Well, they're going to go three finger wiggle. That's the slider. Now, this slider is a little different than the others because it's got no sweep. It's really like just a spinning change up. It doesn't do much. Then fastball up top. 100 top of the zone. Back to the outside is my favorite pitch of the sequence. And that is just like a slider again. Not crazy movement, but just dotted and less. Oh, sit the **** down. Here are these two at bats side by side. In the first one, he was facing a righty. In the next one, he was facing a lefty. It didn't matter. He used the exact same sequence on both. Opened them up outside slider. Then on the 0-1 pitch, came up high with the fastball. They got the swing and miss, then went back to the outside slider. Pretty cool. Pretty exactly what he wanted to do. Here's both hitters on either sides of the plate, both pitches. Aha, sliders to the far sides of the plate. Fastball up to the middle and then slider far sides of the plate. But do you see the difference in the sliders? Like the one he threw to the righty sweeps away. The one he threw to the lefty is just kind of like a change up that doesn't move. I wonder how much he can control that or not control that or if it just whatever happens, happens. Now he throws the fastball where he wants to throw the fastball and he gets a swing and a miss. It's kind of an ugly swing from Joey Wendell, but that's where he wants to throw that inside fastball. That's a tough pitch. So he goes back to it right away and gets the called strike. Got the swing strike now for the immaculate inning. Oh, it's fouled off and he knows that he's smiling. It was almost nine pitches, nine strikes, three strikeouts. But Joey Wendell fouls that one off. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my God. Oh, too, they're going to go back to the slider and get some absolutely dominant performance by Edwin. He's been doing it all year. But I do like how easy he made it, how dotted those pitches were, how the slider kind of swept when he needed to and didn't. I like that he knew about the immaculate inning and then laughed about it and got it right at the end. So good ---- by Edwin Diaz just mowing down the Marlins. And if you got some pubes you need to mow down, then head to Manscaped. Use discount code Johnboy 20 for 20 percent off. You can get the lawnmower 4.0 electric trimmer. It's a Bush's worst nightmare. It's like a Marlins worst nightmares. Edwin Diaz in the ninth with control. I do think that the Joey Wendell at bat at the end is where he actually put it together and threw all the pitches where he wanted to throw it. Like that's where he wants to throw a fastball. It's where he wants to throw that fastball. This is where he wants to throw that slider under the zone. And this one is the perfect pitch. Good job by Edwin Diaz. Absolutely electric.
