Starting pitcher

diving catches, or robbed home runs. Even though this stuff doesn’t happen in every game, it is still nice to watch and play baseball. I play in four different positions on the baseball field: pitcher, catcher, shortstop, and second basemen. I also can play in the outfield. My favorite position is either pitcher or catcher.

Young played baseball starting at a young age. His baseball career in Ohio started for small local teams near Canton after he…

thinking that nobody could beat us. The first few innings were pretty stress free, a few mistakes here and there but nothing major had happened yet. I believe it was the 3 inning and the score was tied 1-1 when we pulled our starting pitcher out of the game and put in our star pitcher, Duncan. What happened next was unimaginable, they scored 3 runs in a row. We were now down 4-1 with 2 innings to play. We scored a run in the fifth to make the score 4-2 heading into the sixth inning. We then got…

hand, he was unable to do so. This happened before Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez’s anticipated return. Fernandez spent his time off recovering from Tommy John surgery for about a year. In Stanton’s absence, the Marlins second basemen, Dee Gordon, achieve many awards during the season such as the National League…

he flashed me a two which meant curveball. I checked the runner, got my grip on the ball, and checked the runner again. I lifted my leg and let go of the ball. We were the last game of the tournament, it was August 1st and the daylight was just starting to slip behind the Rocky Mountains in center field. We were playing a team from Oklahoma City in the World Series championship. My trip to Colorado changed my life. It was the most enjoyable experience I've ever had. I'll never forget that week.…

Tuesday, September 13th: Filled up my 2quart pitcher with some H2O when I woke up at about 8:30. I keep it next to me while I go over my class work and watch TV. It gets drank before my first class at 1:30. I always carry water with me to my classes, if I forget I stop by stars to buy one. Not often do I eat breakfast. For lunch I had a turkey sandwich on wheat, no cheese. For dinner I had some soup with a salad. I like cottage cheese with salad, so I skip dressing because that should hold it…

He was a left-handed pitcher…
