First of all, let me start by saying if you don’t follow Sung Min Kim on Twitter, you’re doing it wrong. His baseball #content (especially the international stuff) is superb … and often hilarious.
Take, for example, his recent uncovering of the Randy Johnson trying to throw a perfect strike on a Japanese TV show … blindfolded:
Randy Johnson was once challenged at a Japanese TV show to throw to a target… while being blindfolded. He threw a dead perfect strike. Pretty neat. pic.twitter.com/gQX09u5OuA

DAMN.
I know that was off a mound, or even 100% velocity, but Johnson literally nailed it:
Funnily enough, his 8.8% career walk rate is the third highest among all pitchers with at least 4,000 innings pitched.
… Then again, there’s only been 28 of those guys – and he’s two spots behind Nolan Ryan – so maybe he’s still pretty elite.
