They Said It: Mike Prochaska

]]> You’ve probably never heard of Mike Prochaska. He’s a minor league baseball player (well, was) for the Montgomery Biscuits. Prochaska was making the final appearance of his career on the mound Monday. In his final appearance, the 28-year-old left-hander unveiled a new pitch. Prochaska threw got the OK from the coaching staff to throw a knuckleball in his career finale.

Prochaska said he used throw the knuckleball back in high school and also said: “The knuckleball was the only way I could get out Josh Hamilton.”

Prochaska isn’t the only pitcher that has struggled to get out Hamilton. But maybe others can also resort to the knuckler when they face the left-handed slugger next time.
