NEW YORK -- Michael King makes his living by dotting the corners with 94-95 mph sinkers.

But when the New York Yankees' reliever tried to toss his PitchCom device into the dugout, he couldn't even keep it from sailing into the stands.

"I'm not used to throwing a rectangular little piece of electronics," King said with a smile.

Working in the ninth inning of a one-run game Tuesday night against the Baltimore Orioles, the right-hander was having trouble getting onto the same page with catcher Ben Rortvedt when it came to their PitchCom signals.
