According to Fangraphs, there have only been nine MLB pitchers since the year 2000 who threw a pitch that is an exaggerated version (by grip) of a split-fingered fastball. The fact that this pitch is associated with injuries has almost erased its popularity over time, but apparently did not deter Brian Sanches, Kenshin Kawakami, Kevin Gausman, Andre Rienzo, David Carpenter, Matt Carasiti, Robert Coello, Junichi Tazawa, or Scott Linebrink from throwing it at least once this century.
