mrbaseball.jpgA pitcher in Japan gave up 66 runs in an 1.1 IP. That was on 250 pitches and the game was only called after the player pleaded for a forfeit. The manager for Kawamoto Technical High School was quoted as saying,

“At that pace the pitcher would have thrown around 500 pitches in four innings, there was a danger he could get injured.”

That may be the understatement of the year.

Also, this kid’s arm may have miraculously not bee injured in the contest, but his pride is definitely on life support. Taking a momentous shelling like this has to result in some kind of therapy. His ERA was 540, that’s 540 reasons why this kid should be on suicide watch. 

They should document the aftermath, MTV’s True Life: I am the Worst Baseball Player in the World.
