Pitchers, here are some things that can separate you from the rest…

• Change-Ups in FB counts.
• 3-2 Change-Ups.
• Unpredictable first pitches.
• Off speed pitches behind in the count.
• Fake shakes.
• Quick tempo.
• Slide step Change-Ups (slide step with no one on base).
• Multiple pitch types for put away pitches.
• Ability to throw your FB inside off the plate on purpose.
• Knowing when you can pitch on the corners and when you need to attack the middle.
• Command the inside part of the zone.
• Take pride in controlling the running game.
• Goal of ZERO walks every time out there.

Easier said than done but if you can get to the point where all of these are part of your game, you will be a different type of competitor than what we tend to see in young arms (yes, even HS and college arms are considered young to us old guys).

Most people never get where they want to be in the long term because they are unwilling to struggle, suffer or be uncomfortable in the short term.

Those who win are those who are willing to endure. They remember where they are going rather than complaining about where they are.

PLAYERS: It's hard to hold your teammates accountable if you are not holding yourself accountable. Do what's right. Set the standard. Be the standard. Don't just tell teammates what to do, but show them how it's done.
