Free Beer & Hot Wings: Japanese Pitcher Throws Ultimate Eephus Pitch [Video]

If you're not familiar with an eephus pitch, it's basically a junk pitch thrown by a pitcher that is super slow and has a high-arcing trajectory.

This pitcher, Kazuhito Tadano, of the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters of the Japanese Pacific League, has the eephus pitch mastered.

Watch as the former Cleveland Indians pitcher winds up and delivers a perfect one, only to be extremely disappointed when the ump called it a ball, instead of the strike that it obviously was!
