There is no doubt that someone who tries to throw a curve or pitch at any early age before he's developed, before his hand is big enough to grip the ball correctly, will damage his arm.

If I wanted to pitch that bad, I probably would. But I don't think I'm in that stage.

Generally in the Little League you're up against a good pitcher who throws like hell. What does the coach say? Get a walk. Isn't that beautiful way to learn to hit? For four years you stand up there looking for a walk.

I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it.

I remember when I wanted every pitch to be a strike.

It's not just what you do on the pitch, it's what you do off the pitch.

Son, what kind of pitch would you like to miss.
