Justin Verlander may be 39 years of age but he’s still one of the best pitchers in Major League Baseball and the ace of the Astros. We were reminded of that Wednesday night when he struck out 11 Yankees in Houston’s 4-2 victory over New York in Game 1 of the ALCS.
Verlander’s ridiculous curveballs are some of the most fun curveballs to watch, unless you’re an unfortunate soul standing in the batter’s box and trying to hit one of those beauties.
