Blue Jays Sign Submarine Pitcher Tyler Rogers
16 Dec
Summary
- Tyler Rogers, a submarine pitcher, signed a three-year deal.
- His unique underhand motion makes him difficult to hit.
- The Blue Jays celebrated his signing with a Marge Simpson meme.
The Toronto Blue Jays have officially welcomed right-handed relief pitcher Tyler Rogers to their roster. Rogers inked a three-year deal, significantly bolstering the team's bullpen with his unconventional approach to pitching.
His signature submarine-style delivery, throwing the ball nearly underhand, makes him exceptionally difficult for opponents to hit. While not a power pitcher, Rogers relies on his unique motion, the movement of his pitches, and remarkable consistency to achieve success. This style is also anticipated to contribute to his longevity in the league.
To commemorate the official signing, the Blue Jays embraced internet culture by sharing a Marge Simpson meme, humorously depicting her preparing for an "uppercut" pitch, mirroring Rogers' low-release point. As of Monday, Rogers is officially a Toronto ballplayer, bringing his distinctive talents to the team.
