Pitcher

Another cool rule they made deals with pitching and catching.Like if the catcher misses or catches the ball you and run as long as it’s not a pop up.That’s called a steal.The pitcher has even more pressure on her because the bal has to be pitched just right across the plate.It can’t be too,high, or too low.Sometimes it can be a little high or a little low but most of the time it has to be right in the middle.The catcher has a…

softball. In softball the pitcher is one of the most important players that contribute to the game. For a pitcher there are many different things that contribute to how the ball is to be pitched. For example, they need to be pointed at the right angle in order for the pitch successfully be done right. They also have to worry about their…

For the last few years of my life, I have been on my school’s PSAL Baseball team playing third base. And, while playing baseball generally requires an abundance of skill in applying critical thinking, one incident during my time with the team stands out to me. It was a sunny spring day in Brooklyn with a gentle breeze picking up the dirt of the field and carrying it off towards the New York high rises around the fields. At the time, our team was undefeated and, since none of the games were close…

comment to explain to me of how dependent I am on these upcoming moments for the team, so don’t make it any worse. To start off and to have the power to set the tone of the whole inning. I have never studied on another human being as much as I did the pitcher that I was soon to be up against. During the summer before this season he was on the same team as me and we really enjoyed the game with the same intensity, but now he is the only person who can stop me from not getting on base.…

tournament after tournament. Playing first base, I always admired the position at the center of the field, the pitcher. It seemed that games could be won and lost based solely on that position. I both craved and shied away from the pressure. As I reflect on my softball days, it seems that the relationship between pitcher and catcher was the single most important factor for a successful team. The pitcher pours her heart out on the mound, but every effort, ball, strike or in the dirt is…

televised, and are a vital part for the organization to make a profit. All the action and excitement of baseball is implemented by how hard the pitcher throws or how far the batter can hit the ball. With this excitement comes a lot of danger that a spectator wouldn’t think about. What if the pitch hits the batter in the face? What if a line drive hits the pitcher in the head? No one considers this until after it happens. But the reason the media is so influential in the sport is because of that…

I got my bat and batting gloves and went and took some hacks off the tee to get loose, then did soft toss so I could get my timing down because the pitcher was going to be throwing hard. After I hit I get my cleats and lace them tight on my feet. I did my leg stretches I do before every game so I don’t pull any muscles. I got my glove out of my bag and played a game called flips with my teammates until…

September 2015 We Want a Pitcher Not a Belly Itcher In the game of baseball, pitchers are either known as overpowering or off-speed pitchers. This is determined by what their best pitch is or how the sequence their pitches to get hitters out. There are three main types of pitches in baseball; the fastball, the curveball, and the change-up. Knowing how pitchers use the pitches or knowing pitchers "out pitch," the pitch they use to get hitters out, can help one determine if a pitcher is an…

I played sophomore baseball for Senior over the summer. It was the best season I've ever had as a Dubuque Senior High School baseball player. I was the pitcher on the team, also known as the "Ace". Before the last couple of games we had an anonymous team vote on which award people should get. At the end of the season we had a potluck with the varsity team and the sophomore team. Everyone showed up with haircuts and their parents. When I got there I just saw everyone in a circle talking to each…

batter got to third we all were nervous after that. Our coach brings in Nick to relieve Jackson. As a matter of fact, Nick struck out two batters and almost three. The count was two strikes three balls I know this because I was catching for this pitcher, but the very next pitch the batter hit a HOME RUN over the left field fence. After that some of us gave up. Some of us kept our heads up and kept believing. It would take the entire team working together for this come back to happen, not just…
