Los Angeles Dodgers star Clayton Kershaw is already one of the most feared pitchers in baseball, and now he looks ready to start toying with batters.
Kershaw threw what looked to be an eephus pitch against the Braves’ Tyler Flowers on Thursday. The pitch, which came out of Kershaw’s hand more like a lob, clocked in at 46 miles per hour.

The pitch was called a ball, even though certain pitch trackers had it as a strike. ESPN Stats & Info says the pitch was 25 miles-per-hour slower than any other pitch Kershaw has thrown in 2015.
