New York Yankees reliever Miguel Castro has been nearly unhittable this season, and it doesn’t take much investigating to figure out why. The 27-year-old has a sinker that is faster than most fastballs, and his command has improved in 2022. It’s the kind of pitch that sent a hitter airborne with a wild swing last season.
It was on another level on Tuesday.
During the Yankees’ game against the Blue Jays, Castro entered in the fifth inning and proceeded to strike out four of the five batters he faced (one hit by pitch). What he did to Alejandro Kirk, though, was just cruel.
