ephus pitch

The speaker describes the Ephus pitch in baseball as a slow and unexpected pitch that catches the hitter off guard. They compare it to a rare sighting and express their desire to slow things down and take a break from their pro baseball career. They feel that they are like the Ephus pitch and want to surprise others by changing things up. An Ephus pitch in baseball is a very low speed junk pitch. The delivery from the pitcher has a slow velocity and usually catches the hitter off guard. The Ephus is one of the rarest pitches thrown. It's like a 95 year old cuckoo that you see once in your life on a trip to New Zealand. I've sold everything I have, bought a busted up hippie van and a used frying pan. I'm leaving pro baseball at the height of my career because I know there's more out there for me. I need to slow things down, you know, just breathe, cruise, journal, and rest. Everything's moving so fast these days, wanting me to pitch as fast as possible. I just want to change things up and catch everyone off guard. I think I've known this for a little while now, but it's crystal clear to me. I'm the Ephus pitch.
