Ex Mets Watch: Satoru Komiyama

Satoru Komiyama, currently a reliver for the Chiba Lotte Marines, has invented a new pitch called “The Shake.” 

Komiyama pitched for the Mets in 2002 as a reliever, with a 5.61 ERA in 25 appearances. 

The shake, is a variation of a knuckleball and splitter, and travels around 55 MPH (87 kilometers per hour). 

Here is a video of Komiyama throwing the shake:

 
Thanks to NPB for the info.

What a funky pitch.  And thank god he still has those awesome goggles.
