Nestor Cortes is understood for his tough strikes when on the mound, however he could have gone too far on Sunday.
Cortes was pitching Sunday for his New York Yankees in opposition to the Guardians at Progressive Discipline in Cleveland. The sport was scoreless and Cortes had Andres Gimenez 0-2 with two outs within the backside of the second inning.
Working from a windup, Cortes dragged his leg to elongate his movement in an try and throw off Gimenez’s timing. Cortes even blended in a faux pitch earlier than throwing his precise pitch.
