VIDEO: Domingo German's Devastating Curveball is Not of This Earth
By Daniel Marcillo
Yankees pitcher Domingo German has found success with his curveball throughout the entire 2019 season. The ultimate seal of approval on a pitch is having it end up as a GIF on the Pitching Ninja Twitter account, and here goes:

Absolutely filthy.
That pitch started right on the outside corner and took a sharp dip into the left-handed batter's box. With the pitch tracer on it, it looks like a shooting star soaring through the sky.
Out of all the Yankees pitchers, he has been the most consistent this season with a 4.05 ERA and 15 wins heading into his start Tuesday night.

He is not just a one-pitch wonder, either. German runs his fastball up there with the best of them in the high 90s. His ability to command both pitches has led to his stretches of success this season.
