Reds catcher Jose Trevino threw old-school eephus pitches to Marlins' batters during the 9th inning at GABP.
Cincinnati Reds catcher Jose Trevino didn't strike anyone out during his pitching appearance in the final two innings of the Reds' 12-2 loss to the Miami Marlins.
Trevino did, however, manage to throw the slowest pitch of this MLB season: 31.8 miles per hour, according to Baseball Savant. He threw another pitch 33 MPH.
Trevino's eephus pitch was one of 35 he threw while recording six outs. He allowed a run and four hits, without a walk.
FanDuel Sports Network analyst and National Baseball Hall of Famer Barry Larkin was asked during the broadcast what a batter is looking to do with a position player on the mound.
"You're looking not to get embarrassed or be embarrassed," Larkin said. "That's what you're looking to not do."
Trevino struck out a batter during his pitching appearance against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Marcelo Mayer, the strikeout victim, appeared to offer to autograph the ball for Trevino.
