San Diego Padres fans are really going to like Kaz Makita. The RHP conducted his first interview of spring training yesterday, telling the media to call him “Maki.”
Maki brings with him six pitches to the mound: a fastball, sinker, slider, changeup, curve and the rare screwball. Coming from an underhand arm slot (not sidearm), it’s going to be a lot of fun watching as opposing batters try to square up on his pitches.
In case his delivery weren't exciting enough, Kaz Makita throws 6 pitches: a fastball, a sinker, a slider, a changeup, a very eephusy curveball and a "shuto" (or screwball).
