It’s a battle of lively Fastballs as Aaron Sanchez squares off against Rick PorcelloGoing on votes alone, Sanchez is expected to blow this one out, grabbing over 50% of the votes in its GIF of the Week vote. It’s hard not to love its rapid bite back over the plate at 95 mph. However, don’t count out Porcello, as the slow motion of his pitch shows the ball darting towards Brian McCann’s thigh before taking a strong U-Turn to nip the inside corner. There’s no right answer here and we all end as winners as we watch these pitches over and over.
