Every great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him than he is of the pitcher. ↗

I think the changeup has become more popular recently by pitchers like Pedro Martinez and the success he had with it. ↗

A torn rotator cuff is a cancer for a pitcher and if a pitcher gets a badly torn one, he has to face the facts, it's all over baby. ↗

The pitcher has to find out if the hitter is timid, and if he is timid, he has to remind the hitter he's timid. ↗

You don't save a pitcher for tomorrow. Tomorrow it may rain. ↗

I figured that pitchers had a better chance of getting drafted than fielders, so I decided I should be a pitcher. But I never expected to be picked in the first round. I wasn't even sure I'd get picked at all. ↗

Fix your eye on the ball from the moment the pitcher holds it in his glove. Follow it as he throws to the plate and stay with it until the play is completed. Action takes place only where the ball goes. ↗

The reason I think I'm a good pitcher is I locate my fastball and I change speeds. Period. That's what you do to pitch. That's what pitchers have to do to win games. ↗

I like my friends to be the hitters. The pitchers, they all have the same brain as I do. The hitters see the game from a different perspective. ↗

I think that's why I like baseball. There's something great about it - you're young, the pitcher's young and he's got this great arm, and he doesn't really realize anything about strategy. ↗
