The bats of the batters are thrown into the air by the heavy fastball.
Even if they do make contact, the ball is often crushed by the pitch and becomes an ordinary fly ball.
This is KT Park Young-hyun’s fastball, the seventh most valuable pitch in the league.
The young pitcher, who turned pro last year, is only in his second year of high school, but has already earned a spot as a set-up man before the closer.
