How i learned to pitch
1. Bryan Price told him to keep a quite head and to start throwing fastballs to make him stop think about his aim, and where he was throwing it.
2. The change up was alot easier on your arm and elbow, and it seperates throwers from pitchers.
3. to throw a change up you make an OK sign with your hand and wrap it around the ball. This makes the batter think its a fast ball but it comes in alot slower to throw them off guard.
4. The change up works because it comes out of teh hand slower than the fastball but it looks the same. the difference in deception can upset the batter and throw him off guard.
5. What makes a good pitching coach is for them to teach there pitchers to self-teach themselves. there are only so many times a coach can walk out on the mound to have a talk so they need to learn on their own.
More thoughtful question
1. We can learn that, if you dont know how to do something, or you just learned take it easy dont go straight for the hardest thing. work yourself up to it. Like the pitches he starts with a change up not a curve. Always teach yourself and try to learn and listen on your own.
2. A change up in writing would be a short story with a twist or has some action in it. Its easy to write because its short, but it thorws the reader off with the suspense or the twist you added. Kind of like the change up. Its one of the easiest pitches but it comes in handy and helps out.
3. I think what teh author means by this section is that yourt not always going to succeed. Bad things will happen and they do but you cant let them get into your head. Stay calm and stay relaxed. Every pitcher is going to have problem and they just have to finish the inning out and go on to the next one. Yes sometimes pithcers throw perfect games, but that is not very often and they need to know people are going to get hits. you just need to keep calm, stay relaxed and dont let it get to you.
