You'll never be able to stop watching these amazing softball trick shots

Here's a list of our favorite softball trick shots

Trick shots of all kinds are unambiguously dope. We know that, you know that - we're pretty sure that if Stephen Hawking finds intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, they know that. But, if the past few weeks have taught us anything, it's that softball trick shots are the best.

But, of course she is -- not only is Carr a trick shot virtuoso, she was a member of Team Canada in the Women's Baseball World Cup in Japan last year (at just 15 years old). Canada was just edged out of the bronze medal in a 3-2 loss to Australia, but we think Carr's skills alone are worth gold:
