The 2015 WBSC Premier 12 tournament has already brought us the magnificence of Japan's Shohei Ohtani's pitching and the sheer beauty of Chinese Tapei's Po-Jung Wang's bat flips. But it's not done giving us gifts.

South Korea may have won Monday's matchup against Cuba (7-2), thanks in part to a solo homer from Korea's Eui-ji Yang, but the real winner is the pitcher who gave it up. Here's righty Jonder Martinez pitching with a toothpick in his mouth, like he's Clint Eastwood tracking down a dangerous outlaw:

We're pretty sure this is his inner monologue before every pitch:

I know what you're thinking. "Did he throw two breaking balls in a row?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track myself. But being that this is the Premier 12 tournament and I throw 92 mph, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?

OK, obviously Yang did and was, but Martinez still looked super cool.
