Women's World Cup pitcher Jade Gortarez showed off a delivery that caught a former MLB All-Star's eye

The Women's Baseball World Cup is currently happening in Florida and it's been an exciting display of dingers, Gold Glove plays and just good ole fashioned baseball fun
One Team USA pitcher, Jade Gortarez, showed off a funky delivery and some late movement that would make many a big league team jealous:

In fact, one former big leaguer, who's also a Rookie of the Year winner and two-time All-Star, was jealous.


Willis' windup was, of course, a bit funkier. Maybe Gortarez can get even more speed on her fastball by somehow lifting her leg over her head?

And if you were wondering whether she can hit just as well as Willis, she can:
