The Ken Griffey “Step-Up”: Junior Recreates Pops’ Trick vs Sutter 💎 #MLB #Shorts

“I did it because of…Bruce Sutter. I’d step up on that forkball a lot…[Junior] tries to catch that one right before it starts breaking.” -Ken Griffey Sr. in the booth.

​August 1992 at Fenway. While Randy Johnson was carving up the Sox for 13 K’s, Ken Griffey Sr. was in the booth with Dave Niehaus explaining the “Step-Up” move Junior was showcasing in the batter’s box, which Pops used to get ahead of Bruce Sutter’s forkball.

  1. Dave Niehaus calls it a 'Slip Step'. I’ve watched Junior for years, never saw him do this nor heard it called that. Senior confirms he used this move against the Bruce Sutter forkball. Anyone else ever hear it called a 'Slip Step'? (TY4SUB😎)
