Tyler Rogers is known for his unconventional delivery. His "flying saucer" or "UFO" rising slider is as deceptive a pitch as a batter will ever see in the Major Leagues. Watch as Tyler picks up a strikeout on one of the wackiest instances of his slider fooling an opponent.

    Can we all just hold hands for a moment and appreciate the anguish of striking outing on an 0-2 count with a swing-and-miss that is so off the plate that it LITERALLY hits you in the face ☠️
  • @iconredesign
    The batter was wondering why he couldn’t make contact on a pitch that’s around the inner third… then it hit him.
  • @umbrellaBuddha
    Now THAT is what we call a rough at bat bhahahahahahah😂
  • @marcuscheng2507
    Hope Tyler Rogers has a great season! I can get worried sometimes when he pitches.
  • @Flosseveryday
    They kept saying he CLEARLY fouled it off but I don’t see anything definitive to support that perspective.
  • @jotun1022
    He 100% did clip the ball with his bat... BARELY, like the smallest clip you could possibly clip. go to 0:24 and slow it down to .25x. you will see the spin of the ball change directions(starts going up) just for a moment before it hits his shoulder. And interestingly enough, if you do the same speed at 0:39 this didn't hit him in the face like I thought. It just bounces off his shoulder straight up and hits hit helmet. This explains why he was not dazed, just confused

    With some pitching/pitchers evolving pretty much every 5-10 years, I'd say we'll start having 102+ MPH SCFUKER24E (Slider change up, Forkball, underhand , Knuckle ball, Ephus, Rising 2 and 4 seam pitches) all in the same grip at the same time.

    Giants fan here. That play should 100 percent be reviewable. Rough AB
  • @bobbymoss6160
    Boy got the senses knocked out of him and forgot he swung... 🤣
  • @NateWantsFriends
    I'd actually watch and respect y'all's game more if you had more stuff like this.
  • @timmyt1232
    He hit that ball three times! One with the bat, one with the shoulder, and one with the forehead.
  • @Ian_Somnia
    I'd love to see Close Call Sports do a video on this.
  • @theb3654
    He wiffed completely the bounce was off his arm into his face.

    0:04 Do you guys hear a foul tip? I hear the little taps, but I swear those are just the ball hitting him and his helmet I think he just swung and missed
