I'm relatively physically adept and I like throwing myself around. Once, twice, but then you get to nine, ten, eleven and to try and make it look realistic all the time, that's not very pleasant.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I could throw pretty hard. I might strike out 16 guys, but I might walk 10. I mean, I was wild.
I throw as hard as I can when I think I have to throw as hard as I can.
I try to stay in the best physical shape that I can because I do most of my own stunts. It looks amazing if you can do it, but I don't advocate it because you always get injured.
For ages, in my lunch hours, I would just go round and choreograph fight scenes. For fun. So now I'm very good at being thrown around. I bounce, in the words of my friends.
I like to juggle with one ball at a time. Then I put the ball down and do nothing for extended periods of time.
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.
I had classic technique - one of the best techniques when I was like 10, 12, but then I changed.
I always do my own stunts, as much as possible. I'm a little stubborn about it.
As a team, you need to come from behind every once in awhile just to do it. Good for the attitude. It makes it exciting. And when everybody knows you have to throw it... that makes it fun too.
Essentially, I'm untrained, so I just go with my imagination and try to put myself as solidly as I can into the shoes of whatever person I'm going to be playing.
