Nestor Cortes is known for his tricky moves when on the mound, but he may have gone too far on Sunday.
Cortes was pitching Sunday for his New York Yankees against the Guardians at Progressive Field in Cleveland. The game was scoreless and Cortes had Andres Gimenez 0-2 with two outs in the bottom of the second inning.
Working from a windup, Cortes dragged his leg to elongate his motion in an attempt to throw off Gimenez’s timing. Cortes even mixed in a fake pitch before throwing his actual pitch.
