Werth: 57-mph curveball caused "existential crisis"
How emotionally disturbed was Jayson Werth after this 57-mph curveball from Carlos Villanueva? He talked to the Washington Post about his experience.
“I had to Google ‘existential crisis.' It was an existential crisis. It really was. I was just getting myself standing back upright. Took me a second. Had to reboot the system after that one.
“I immediately figured out what it was and stood there and thought to myself, ‘Here it comes,’” Werth said of his reaction. “Just lost in the abyss, really. About how it looked.
“All I know is that I’ve never seen a pitch that slow,” Werth said. “Except when I struck out in slow pitch softball.”
