Slow-motion footage of Kodai Senga’s ghost fork pitch shows how unhittable it is

This looks impossible to hit.

The ghost fork — the signature pitch thrown by the New York Mets’ Kodai Senga, a forkball kind of like a splitter that disappears as it heads over the plate — has been seriously  effective for the Japanese pitcher.

Senga, as you’ll see below, can fool hitters who think they might be seeing a fastball until it falls off the plate. And a slow-motion view of the pitch reveals how it hangs out there for a hitter to feast on … until it just drops right off the table. A ghost (with a fork), indeed.

The numbers based off the pitch don’t lie, either. Check it all out below:
