MLB is better when there are knuckleball pitchers, but right now, that's pretty much a lost art. Well, except for Detroit Tigers catcher Jake Rogers. Rogers obviously doesn't pitch regularly, but he does take the mound when the Tigers are getting clobbered.

And when he does that, he throws a legitimately impressive knuckleball: Look, I know Jake Rogers is good at the whole catching thing. But if he’s flipping knuckleballs like this, I see no reason to not try him at a pitcher. He just broke this out????
