Zack Greinke was back doing Zack Greinke things Monday night and man, was this a fun one to watch.
I’m talking, of course, about the Astros pitcher throwing a 51 mph eephus pitch to a professional hitter who could only stand there and watch it go by for a called strike.
Greinke has thrown this pitch before and every time he does it we should all stop and watch it because it’s just too much fun.
On Monday night he caught Detroit’s Renato Núñez off guard with this awesome pitch and the six-year MLB veteran probably wishes he had this moment back.

Gorgeous! Though maybe Greinke should have thrown all of his pitches like that because he gave up six runs in 4.2 innings of work.
Twitter loved that pitch:
