A Major League Pitching Coach Is A

I Was A Professional Baseball Player From The Time I Was Drafted Out Of High School In 1981 Until The Time I Retired In 2003.

We Charted Individual Pitches By Hand, So I Had That Data From Game To Game, But From Year To Year, I Didn't Really Have That Data, Because A Lot Of Times It Was Discarded.

I Think The Changeup Has Become More Popular Recently By Pitchers Like Pedro Martinez And The Success He Had With It.

I Love Being Out There On The Mound With The Ball In My Hand. I Can Control The Game. I'm Out There. No Clock - Nothing Happens Until I Throw That Thing. Nothing Happens. I Love That Feeling.

We Just Kind Of Relied On Written Scouting Reports Through The Eighties And Even The Early Nineties. I've Really Been Amazed By Some Of The Data That's Out There, Especially With Regards To Tendencies Of Hitters, And Certainly Tendencies Of Pitchers As Well. I Would Have Loved To Have Gotten That Data When I Played.
