A pitcher needs two pitches, one they're looking for and one to cross them up.
Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing.
You don't just throw the ball - you propel it.
I throw just as hard as ever - it just takes twice as long to get there.
Twenty games is the magic figure for pitchers - .300 is the magic figures for batters. It pays off in salary and reputation. And those are the two things that keep a ballplayer in business.
Gentlemen, for the first 60 feet that was a hell of a pitch.
