Greg Weissert’s slider to Yandy Díaz became a viral baseball moment in September 2022. The pitch looked like it was going to hit Díaz, but it suddenly moved back into the strike zone. The slider had around 21 inches (53 cm) of horizontal movement, making it extremely difficult for the batter to predict. Díaz turned away because he thought the ball was coming toward him, but it finished as a strike. Fans called it a “magic pitch” because of the unexpected movement. The video became popular online and showed how impressive Weissert’s pitching ability was. - follow ( @slugger.report ) for insane baseball content - #baseball #mlb #baseballplays #gregweissert #yandydiaz
