    Mets submarine specialist Josh Hejka tossed 1 2/3 scoreless innings with three strikeouts last night for Double-A Binghamton. Hejka has 13 strikeouts in 9 1/3 scoreless innings this season. Here’s his rising slider.

    Everyone should get the idea after the first couple pitches, definitely no need to watch to the end

    The Quest For The Rising Slider 🛸 A quick thread about: - Why I needed to develop a new slider - What the pitch design process at @DrivelineBB looked like - How it's going so far this season

    .@JoshHejka leads the Mets minor leagues with a 0.42 ERA. His rising slider is a big reason why. Rather than forcing a slider that just moved laterally, his Pitch Design with @LanginTots13 focused on adding rise ⬆️ while maintaining sweep.
