00:02Peyton Toll is the most exciting young pitcher in baseball.
00:05The 23-year-old Red Sox rookie has a 3.15 ERA with 159 strikeouts in 137 innings.
00:11And he's done it with one of the most unique deliveries in the sport.
00:15Toll releases the ball from 7.3 feet in front of the rubber,
00:18from a low arm angle, and from far toward first base.
00:20It's a combination no other starter in baseball uses.
00:23The result is explosive stuff that leaves hitters swinging at air.
00:27But Toll is more than just numbers.
00:29He's become a fan favorite for his infectious joy.
00:32He went viral for hugging an opposing batter instead of tagging him,
00:35and for doing a push-up on the mound after slipping.
00:37Those three words, you're so pretty, are stitched on his glove.
00:41A tribute to his late mother, who passed away from cancer just two months before he was drafted.
