Mike Delio, High School Pitcher Throws Perfect Game, All Strike Outs (Video)

Who the heck is Mike Delio (@Mike_Delio), and where the Devil is Carle Place High School?

Prior to Tuesday, the answer to the first question might have been “nobody”, while the answer to the second could just as easily have been “nowhere”.  But after throwing a “double perfecto” earlier in the week, at an ordinary, nondescript baseball diamond in Long Island, NY, Delio, a high school junior, put himself on the map.

Possibly forever.

On Tuesday afternoon, in his first varsity start, the right-handed pitcher sent down twenty-one batters in a row.  Not only did he send twenty-one guys in a row back to the dugout, but he sent them ALL back with their bats on their shoulders and their tails firmly between their legs.

He struck out all 21 batters, using just 84 pitches, 64 of which were strikes.

I can tell you as a baseball fan these last 20 years at least that this is an amazing accomplishment.  This will possibly likely never be duplicated.   It is one of those ‘miracle of sports’.  I would bet he’s on a few MLB teams radars right now too..
