Pedro And Papi |
In an article in
Derek Jeter's
The Players Tribune,
David Ortiz lays out for us
the five toughest pitchers he's ever faced. Not surprisingly,
Pedro Martinez tops the list. After his good friend comes Yankee nemesis
Mariano Rivera, followed by
Mike Mussina,
Sonny Gray and Miami's "hip-hop hurler"
Carter Capps. Says Papi of Pedro,
"Pedro’s changeup was the best I’ve ever seen. It was so good that he could have walked right up to the plate and told you, 'Hey bro, I’m about to throw you the changeup.' And you still wouldn’t be able to hit it." Indeed.
