Brewers Pitcher Fanned Batter on Physics-Defying Sinker, and MLB Fans Were Awestruck

Brewers rookie reliever Abner Uribe already is making a name for himself among baseball fans despite having thrown just 10 2/3 innings at the MLB level.

During a relief appearance on Sunday, Uribe showcased some devastating movement on his sinker, striking out the Pirates’ Jack Suwinski on a pitch that quite frankly wasn’t even fair.

Suwinski didn’t stand a chance against the 99-mph sinker from Uribe, which broke away from the plate in jaw-dropping fashion. What first appeared to be a hittable pitch for the left-handed batter ended up diving nearly a foot off the plate, in what was one of the nastiest pitches of the 2023 MLB season.

Much like Suwinski, baseball fans were in utter disbelief over the physics-defying movement on Uribe’s sinker. Fans took to social media to voice their utter shock over the incredible pitch, which many observers described as the best pitch they’d ever seen.

Abner Uribe, DEMONIC 99mph Sinker. 👿

Undoubtedly, one of the filthiest pitches I've seen this year. And, I see pretty much all of them. https://t.co/jVQ0LFCjWI

I don't care what kind of modern training Babe Ruth could receive, he'd do that Looney Tunes thing where the batter swings and misses so bad they corkscrew into the ground up to their neck https://t.co/YbyCQfwIqV
