Pitch

and get your pitch call from the catcher. 12.11.10. The batter acknowledges you. 9.8.7. You come to set. 6.5.4.3. And BOOM you fire the pitch to repeat the whole process over again. In 2023, MLB implemented a 20-second pitch clock to speed up the pace of your everyday baseball game.

The pitch clock…

I am a native of Ethiopia. The environment I lived in was pessimistic. I grew up holding back on my dreams and not being the best I can be. As I progressed in school, I was always told that I could not make it and that I was weak. Girls do not have that much value in my society; therefore, I was told I had no power and I could not achieve what I sought. I went to a predominately male school. My school had ample opportunities for the majority of the students, but not for me since I am a girl. I…

By the time I sprinted onto the field for the start of the Jefferson Cup soccer final I had mentally prepared myself for the fierce showdown ahead. I had been playing soccer for most of my short life, giving up all other sports to concentrate on being a top player. In fact my whole family was committed to the game, so I guess you could say that I eat, sleep, and breathe soccer. I sure hoped that all my hard work would be translated into a big win that day. As I readied myself for the refs…

Despite what most people think, Soccer is a very simple game. In order to play a game of soccer, you will need eleven people per team and two teams per game. In addition, it is helpful to have a referee. Each player will need to have a team jersey to wear for the game. As well as shin guards, socks and cleats.

We sometimes meet a person and think “they’re nice,” “they remind me of my friend,” or “what a psychopath.” We do not always think about what the actual definition of a psychopath is and what makes them a psychopath. According to Merriam Webster Dictionary a psychopath is defined as “a person with a clear perception of reality, but…

The most basic and commonly used pitch is a Fastball, where the pitcher throws the ball as hard as he can. There are a variety of pitches a pitcher can throw ranging from a Fastball to a Knuckleball. Another type of pitch is a Palmball. The Palmball pitch is a type of changeup. It requires placing the baseball tightly in the palm or held between the thumb and ring finger and then throwing it as if throwing a fastball. This takes some of the velocity off the pitch, intending to trick the batter…

Precision of Pitching In the game of baseball, the pitcher is one of the most vital players on the team. He must follow a precise sequence of steps to throw the pitch the way he had intended to. The best way for a pitcher to throw hard and throw strikes is to choose the proper stance and pitch, execute the pitch, and follow through into an athletic fielding position. Before the pitcher steps on the mound, he must first decide what type of stance he needs to be in. If there is a runner on base…
