There's no doubt about it, major league pitchers are incredible athletes who do amazing things on a daily (or nightly) basis. Most of the time it involves throwing a baseball close to 100 miles per hour and making opposing hitters look extremely foolish.
The record pace for strikeouts and a historically low overall batting average in April are just two examples of how great most pitchers are at their primary job.
But occasionally, pitchers can surprise us with other things we don't expect them to do. That was the case Tuesday night, both at the plate and on the mound.
