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 It's 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 he relies on deception and messing up hitters timing and doing stuff like you just saw and Weird windups 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 going to do whatever I want to 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 curveball 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 she's like, what are you doing, man? Is this real am I in a prank show or something? What's going on? Maybe the most i've seen a lot of nester cortez delivery and then he goes straight for the quick pitch I've seen a lot of nester 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 ten Ten or eleven 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 curveball and nester's like, oh, no, please stay in the park Brett's got it for an out and they're still laughing as they're around the bases. Ohtani's just gonna start chuckling Thinking about it nester cortez is like, oh baby, maybe all that nonsense work How about that and 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 nester showed. Ohtani in this at bat got a lot of options here.
