Brian Wilson And His New "Filthy" Pitch





The best personality in baseball has added a fourth pitch to his repertoire.  He calls it the "filthy" pitch and it has garnered rave reviews from his pitching coach and around the league.



Henry Schulman's Splash :


[It's] a two-seam, sinking fastball that Wilson just
added to a menu that largely consists of a straight, four-seam fastball,
cutter and slider. If he can use it effectively, hitters will be in for
even tougher at-bats against last year's major-league saves leader.



"The cat's out of the bag. It's another weapon," pitching coach Dave
Righetti said, calling Wilson's two-seamer a "big-time" development.

As if stepping in the box against a man that resembles Blackbeard The Pirate and pumps his fastball in the mid 90's wasn't enough.  Now right-handed batters have to worry about a nasty two-seamer that is bound to break a few kneecaps.  Here's the "Filthy" pitch making Jamey Carroll look like a little leaguer.  Brian Wilson rules.
