Luis Severino is now an Athletics pitcher after getting the biggest contract in franchise history.
But, hey, maybe the pitcher is worth all that money, right? He pitched well for the New York Mets last year, and on Opening Day 2025, he threw six innings and gave up no runs and just three hits with four walks.

Check it out and see if you agree that this was downright unhittable:
