Pitchers in Major League Baseball are very good these days at making fans wonder how they can throw such beautiful pitches that give hitters no chance of trying to put the bat on the ball.
Sometimes their pitches don’t really seem fair at all.
Also unfair was what Seattle’s Luis Castillo did on a hard-hit grounder back to the mound Tuesday night. The play left everyone in awe of how he pulled it off.
Check out Castillo’s no-look snag on a one-hop grounder and then watch as he calmly throws out Hunter Renfroe with an underhand toss to first:

Renfroe had to be wondering what he needs to do to get a hit after that one.
MLB fans loved it:
