Murray State Pitcher May Have Wildest Windup in Baseball History
March 4, 2015via @JDrumUK
There have been some wild windups in baseball history, but Murray State's John Lollar may have the craziest ever.
Just look at the picture above. That doesn't seem possible.
Facing a pitcher who brings the leg up so high has to be distracting for a hitter. Not only do the batters have to watch the high leg kick, they also have to figure out a way to find the baseball before it's too late.
Lollar's windup is like nothing we have ever seen. The best description would be to say that he is a combination of Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez and Bronson Arroyo:

As some readers have pointed out, a young Dontrelle Willis had a pretty wicked windup as well:
