Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Craig Yoho goes viral due to a changeup that he threw during his Triple-A debut.
During his Triple-A debut Craig Yoho threw a changeup that caught the attention of baseball fans everywhere. Yoho, a right-handed pitcher, managed to get 47 inches of vertical movement (downward) on a changeup that statcast registered as a curveball thrown by a left-handed pitcher. Per Curt Hogg only one MLB pitcher has had a changeup with that much movement all of this year.
