How To Emasculate A Pitcher 101

There's only a couple of reasons to throw at a batter. As retaliation, to get in his head for the rest of the game, or a complete lack of control. I don't know which of the three this was, but safe to say it wasn't the least bit effective. If they let this kid finish the at bat instead of awarding him first base this high schooler would have undoubtedly hit a 6,000 yard bomb into the next county.  If I were a betting man I would put down a couple hundred that this pitcher didn't last another 2/3rds after this incident. There's just no way to recover from a batter calmly catching your best stuff and flipping it to the catcher like he couldn't even be bothered enough to be angered by a ball that was headed directly for his upper torso. 

"Hey pitcher, nice pass". "Here ya go 2, tell Nolan Ryan he dropped something". I think this kid's wiffle ball reflexes took over once the ball was headed towards his throat, and his natural swag took over when he snatched the ball out of mid air like Odell Beckham Jr. This kid should just make a highlight reel that just has this clip on loop and 'Swagger Like Us' playing in the background. Then he should send it to any and every baseball coach in the country. Actually fuck that. Send it any and every athletic director in the country. Who cares what sport? There's got to be a scholarship somewhere for natural born instincts like that. Just let the kid go to school for free and figure out what sport to let him dominate later. Poor pitcher. No choice but to quit sports and take up card collecting. Can't finish a season with the entirety of your lineup pitying your existence.
