How The World's Fastest Knuckleball Got Kenny Serwa A Contract With The Tigers

We at Baseball Isn't Boring love a good story, and that's why it was an honor for Bradfo to catch up to Kenny Serwa. Just last week, the 27-year-old signed his first deal with a Major League Baseball organization - inking a minor-league pact with the Tigers - thanks in large part to one memorable throwing session. After spending years at multiple colleges and with Independent League team, Serwa changed his career trajectory thanks in part to the fastest knuckleball ever clocked (88.5 mph), which also happens to come with a mid-90's fastball. It's the kind of inspirational podcast that will get you excited for baseball to begin.
