ASU Player Hit By Pitch, Throws Ball Back to Pitcher

Man, I'm starting to become more and more like Levack. I didn't used to post videos, but with the onset of Vine, more and more of them come into my sight line, and I just can't look away.

Take for instance this video that came about through the weekend. It comes from the Pac-12 Network. Arizona State player Johnny Sewald was hit by a pitch in a game against Washington State -- and he caught the ball against his side -- and then threw it back.

Let's start with the obvious: It's an incredibly "boss" move to throw the ball that hits you back to the pitcher. It shows a toughness and a swagger that says "Here you go. That didn't hurt one bit, but I certainly noticed I just got hit. And I'm going to remember it."

However, I'm not sure whether I'm impressed with the catch itself. It's possible to catch the ball against the side of your body, it's not like he caught it with his bare hand.

Thoughts?
