Jeremy Guthrie's 58-MPH Eephus Pitch

Stay back.

With the Yankees and Royals tied 1-1 in the top of the third, Royals starter tried to fool Brian McCann with a looping, 58-mph eephus pitch. McCann managed to stay back on the lob long enough to foul it off, but there was no way he could get a solid swing on it.

Welcome aboard the eephus train, J-Guts! We're glad to have you.
