Are the rules different in Japan? None of those looked to me like they were in the strike zone.
I used to throw a pitch kind of like that. People laughed at me, but I struck them out. One home run, though, and the coach made me stop throwing it like that.
That wasn’t a real game, I actually watched that show on TV in Japan. It was a variety show. Still its great.
Baseball would be so much more interesting if players actually did things like this.
