Social Media Is Blown Away By Insane Movement On Rays Pitcher Shane McClanahan’s NASTY Changeup That Doesn’t Even Look Real (VIDEO + TWEETS)

A close-up look of the movement from Shane McClanahan’s slick changeup pitch has left baseball fans in awe.

The Tampa Bay Rays’ star southpaw had a quality outing against the Chicago White Sox at Tropicana Field on Saturday .McClanahan pitched six innings and allowed just two earned runs while striking out 10 batters in a 4-3 win that required an extra inning.

Rob Friedman posted a clip of the insane movement on a McClanahan changeup that the hitter stood zero chance of hitting. Let’s just say the video will give you greater perspective of how hard it is to be a hitter in the majors:

If I'm Chicago's manager, I'm calling for a strip search right out there on the mound! ?

Good luck hitting or catching that ball. It looked like it spun right out of his glove.

With the victory on Saturday, McClanahan improved to 4-0 on the year with a ridiculous 1.86 ERA and 37 strikeouts in just 29 innings pitched. The Rays completed the sweep over Chicago on Sunday, improving their record to a jaw-dropping 19-3 heading into Monday.

Tampa Bay will commence a three-game series against the defending World Series champion Houston Astros on Monday.
