Even though he plays first base and rarely gets to show it off, Lyle Overbay has a very good arm. 

On Monday night, with his Milwaukee Brewers trailing 9-3 in the eighth, Overbay took to the mound to attempt to put an end to the five-run inning.

Overbay was tasked with retiring Ryan Doumit, which he accomplished by inducing a pop out to end the inning. 

According to MLB Gameday, Overbay's six-pitch appearance had a top speed of 82 MPH, and he also broke off a 67 MPH "curveball" that bounced in front of the plate. 

His career stats now stand at 0.00 ERA, 0.000 WHIP.
