When you lose the ability to step up and hit the ball as hard and as far as you want, that also affects your ability to will the ball to go where you want it to go, if you know what I mean.

There is no way to have a strong arm if you don't throw enough.

See the ball; hit the ball.

Sooner or later the arm goes bad. It has to... Sooner or later you have to start pitching in pain.

It's not just enough to swing at the ball. You've got to loosen your girdle and really let the ball have it.

Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don't move.

When I throw a softball, there's no time to think about the motion of my arm. I just look at the first baseman's glove and react.

My theory of hitting was just to watch the ball as it came in and hit it.

Keep your head on the ball. You've got to hit it first, then look where it goes. People get in trouble when they look for where the ball's going, and they haven't even hit it yet.

You got the ball in your hands and you're in command, and if you get your good pitch where you want it, nobody's gonna hit you.
