Shake and Bake

If you don't know who this is, it means your normal. If you want to be cool and not normal, watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force on Comedy Central.

Japanese pitcher Satoru Kotiyama has developed a new pitch called the shake. It is essentially a forkball without any pressure from the thumb. It comes in at 55 mph and just drops. I'm not really sure if it is really anything more than a palmball/eephus pitch, but it seems to have sharper movement. If Tim Wakefield combined his knuckleball with the shake, we could call him "Shakin' Wake". Okay, that was bad. I'm sorry. Anyway, check out the video.
