If you saw Timofey Mozgov walking down the streets of Cleveland and thought to yourself “Hey that looks like a dude who could be a dominant RHP for a Major League club” you’d be 100% right. Ol Timo threw out the first pitch during last night’s Tribe game and you’d have thought he grew up playing with little white balls instead of big orange ones. Seriously. The dude is like a Soviet Randy Johnson except he’s not as creepy, he doesn’t have long greasy hair, and he’s not an acclaimed bird murderer. Just a big friendly fellow from Russia who’s got an arm like a f*cking cannon.
Timofey Mozgov: Professional basketball player, international commercial star, and up and coming big league pitcher. There’s nothing he can’t do. A real renaissance man.
Warm up pitches. Cannon. Heard he clocked in at 107. Those thuds you hear are baseballs dying.
He met Michael Bourn and basically swallowed his entire hand
He’s taller than most girls in Cleveland.
