Rays' Oliver Drake drives internet wild by throwing just another nasty pitch

Rays reliever Oliver Drake became internet famous Saturday after he struck out the White Sox's Leury Garcia on a nasty split changeup.

People couldn't comprehend the pitch's lateral movement across the plate.

Those Montreal Bay Ex-Rays are really something.

I used to get movement like that on my pitches in my backyard.

Of course, I was throwing a wiffleball - that I had loaded up with vaseline. But still . . .

I don't understand all the fuss about it. He's on the far left edge of the pitching rubber. I've seen a lot better.

I see that pitch, and I raise a Jordan Hicks 105 MPH sinker.
