Ever seen Major League? Of course you have. Charlie Sheen’s character, Ricky Vaughn, is referred to as “Wild Thing.” Well, he might as well be Dellin Betances.
Sheen’s character was known for throwing hard without any consistency, often throwing “juuuuuust a bit outside.” How many times has that same quote come to mind when watching the oft-wild Betances take the mound in the late innings?
But a miracle happens in Major League. As the season wears on and the confidence builds up (as well as a magical pair of glasses), Ricky Vaughn becomes absolutely unhittable.
