[Highlight] Nestor Cortes tries to fool the batter with a fake pitch

Hey dad what’s a balk?
I can’t believe that’s allowed
I’m shocked this is legal but it’s awesome so
omg he’s so quirky
There are few things as entertaining as Nestor’s shenanigans when he’s feeling himself. He’s doing shit like this, and somehow also has four strikeouts in just 2 innings (with no help from back to back errors from Rizzo)
Cortes’ wind-ups get goofier and goofier every year.
This being legal is bullshit considering all the stupid balks that are called
This is hilarious
I’ve seen a lot of shit but I ain’t never seen that
This is the most Buggs Bunny pitch delivery I’ve ever seen in an actual game. No clue how that’s not breaking some rule lol.
Technically got a strike out of it!
Baseball fans would love this if he wasn’t a Yankee. If you’re a Yankee, you can’t be entertaining.
It’s shocking to me that Nestor is the only pitcher experimenting with tricking batters in this way. I don’t think he’s particularly good at it, but he’s willing to try and it sometimes works
This is the future of baseball when Tommy John surgery is banned
I laughed quite loudly watching live
You can’t just be up there just doing a cat swiping at a fly like that
I don’t know if it would’ve been funnier if it ended up with a strikeout looking or a homer.
He just meowed a lil bit that’s all
He’s getting close to throwing a behind the back pitch.
Can’t wait until this evolves into him doing a twirl on one foot before his pitch. I love this shit
Queue up the balk copypasta
next at bat, Nestor should actually release the ball with the “fake”
This move is just silly but besides this, how come other pitchers don’t add some random hesitation to throw off the timing of the batters? I remember David cone doing similar things both with hesitation and changing arm angles.
This team is so frustrating. They’re likeable now. Between Nestor, Soto or Vertugo, I’m liking some of these Yankees. What the fuck.
This thread really shows just how many people don’t understand that a balk has to do with runners and not the batter.
Honestly, Nestor should just go full bugs bunny and bring a second baseball to the mound. Throw one ball then chuck the other after. Just for the memes. Take the, idk, ball? Or strike? Or ejection? Whatever, it’d be worth it and I’d call nasty Nestor the greatest pitcher ever from then on

That’s some Savannah Bannanas type shit, lol.
Great for the game IMHO.
Ngl, Nestor is hilarious
Somewhere Johnny Cueto just shed a tear of pride
That’s the balkiest non-balk I’ve ever seen.
