Blue Jays’ Trent Thornton talks about his ‘funky’ pitching delivery

Posted Apr 2, 2019
Trent Thornton made history in his Major League Baseball debut Sunday, striking out eight batters against the Detroit Tigers. But that’s not the only reason the Toronto Blue Jays’ starter stood out. If you saw Thornton’s five innings, you also likely noticed his wind-up. “I’ve heard it’s unorthodox and funky, looks like I’ve got a noodle arm,” Thornton said with a laugh. (SportsNet.ca)
