"Swing and miss! Corey Kluber's killer slider is simply unbeatable!" The Yankees' commentators in the YES TV studio couldn't help but lament as they watched the broadcast on the screen.
On the field, Aaron Judge, who struck out on this pitch, shook his head helplessly. As one of the top sluggers in Major League today, he and Corey Kluber had a back-and-forth battle of ten pitches during this at-bat. In the end, he still couldn't withstand the pressure and was struck out by the Indians' ace's signature breaking ball, helplessly taking the K.
David Cone immediately commented on this at-bat: "Just like Lin's forkball-sinker that shares the trajectory of both a sinker and forkball, the reason Kluber has such an impressive win value, ranking third in the American League despite being out for a month, is largely due to the terrifying power of his breaking ball."
