Some pitchers seem more (or possibly other) than human. Randy Johnson was a great and terrible machine. Greg Maddux was a wizard. Pedro Martínez was some kind of glitch, an impossibility.
But Bobby Jenks? For the overpowering nature of his stuff, for that insane, ahead-of-his-time fastball and the crippling breaking ball, he always seemed human.
