MLB’s Only Knuckleballer Hits Like A Little Leaguer

Fortunately for the Blue Jays R.A. Dickey is pretty good at everything.

R.A. Dickey is easily one of the quirkiest players in Major League Baseball. The 38-year-old unabashed Star Wars and Lord of the Rings nerd became the first knuckleball pitcher to win the Cy Young award in MLB history last season. Dickey received endless media attention for his impossibly consistent dominance with a pitch that is notoriously untamable, but many people forget he swung a pretty decent bat too.

Like everything else R.A. Dickey does, his approach at the plate is rather unorthodox. Dickey swings a 37-inch, 34-ounce bat which is most likely the largest in the entire league by a considerable margin.
