My dad taught me really early so I could take a lot of pressure off my elbow. Because the way I throw it, it doesn't crank up my elbow like everyone else's curveballs.
From Drew Pomeranz
No one wants to be known as a six-inning guy.
Six innings, you're doing your job. That's a good target to have, but I'm always looking to improve. There's three more innings of improvement left.
I've got four pitches now. I don't have to use them all the time, but I've got them in my pocket now for when it's necessary.
At the end of the day, it's me versus you, and I'm trying to get you out. If I can throw you six curveballs in a row and get you out, I'm going to do it all day.
I don't mind walking guys as long as I don't give up runs.
The cutter has really helped me stay in the game longer and helped me get past the five, six innings a little more consistently.
Repeating my mechanics was difficult. I was always trying to do something different to make it click.
If you don't feel right, you're going to try to tweak every pitch, every little thing, things that probably don't even need tweaking.
I have to do a better job of learning how to adjust.
