Georgia Pitcher Casually Pumps 100mph Cheddar After Fooling Hopeless Hitter With Diabolical Windup

The University of Georgia might have its best college baseball team in school history during the 2025 season. A trip to Omaha is well within reach for the Bulldogs if they can live up to expectations and star transfer Brian Curley will be a crucial piece to the puzzle as a reliever.

He casually hit triple digits on Saturday after completely fooling a hopeless hitter with his Nestor Cortes-like windup.

For those who are not familiar with Nasty Nestor, the former New York Yankees starter (now with the Brewers) is known for his funky shenanigans while delivering a pitch to the plate. Although it often looks like a balk, it is totally legal as long as he never stops his motion after stepping off of the rubber and continues moving all of the way through his delivery.

Brian Curley is not quite as creative as Cortes, but the 5-foot-10, 212-pound righty has more velocity so he might be even harder to figure out. Ask UNC Wilmington.

Georgia pitcher Brian Curley is filthy.

Curley, a junior, played his first two seasons at VCU. He posted a team-best 2.87 ERA in 78.1 innings with 78 strikeouts and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates during the 16th round of the 2024 MLB Draft. The Virginia-native chose to forgo a professional career (for now) and transferred to play at the University of Georgia.

His two innings of work against the Seahawks on Saturday served as his debut for the Bulldogs. It could not have gone any better. He recorded three strikeouts with one walk and an 0-2 pitch against Bromley Thornton during the eighth inning was downright diabolical.

Curley started his windup and kicked his leg like he was going to throw down to the plate — but he didn’t. Rather, he lowered his foot back toward the mound, without touching the mound, and paused his windup for a full two-Mississippi count. And then he pumped 100 on the gun.
