The day your life got better

Ba dum psss

And then she was splitting it for everyone else

Rodney Dangerfield lol

We could use more knuckleballers. I miss the Tim Wakefields and RA Dickeys of the world.

Matt Waldron did well against the Dodgers the other day!

Knuckleballers also have way lower risk of arm injury

The final form of baseball will be a game where every pitcher has had their UCL removed entirely and exclusively throws knuckleballs

probably will get its own distinction like how Sweeper got separated from sliders last year.

Nah, it's closer to knuckle curve vs. curveball than anything else and sweeper isn't even a real pitch. Usually it's a slider, sometimes a curveball, either or those pitches weren't registered as "sweepers" until last year. Plus the concept is stupid. Sliders have slide implying sideways movement. If they wanted to differentiate sliders they could've added gyroball which is already used in japan for gyrospin sliders or maybe a name for sliders that go down. Sliders already slide, implying sideways movement so saying "sweeper" implying sweeping action is dumb especially since not all pitches called the same thing move the same so some sliders are more frisby, some more vertical but to use "sweeper" as a whole "new" pitch. It's ridiculous. Slurve is already a pitch name for a slider with more vertical drop anyways and it's registered by statcast but like forkball it's only listed as "slurve" if you tell them it's a slurve. Pitches have to do with pitch grips not movement anyways, plus sweeper just doesn't sound good.

This comment deserves more likes

They’ve got a lovely confluence of velocity and movement

Short answer: how far it drops and number of times it spins. Hope that helps!
