Hello Passion for Pitching Family!!!
So we are currently on a five game win streak. Much more fun playing out in front of the bunch then playing tug-o-war and five hundred baseball. During the streak we have done an amazing job as a team to simply compete. Every AB, every inning, we have been right where we need to be with our focus. No matter if we are down during a certain part of the game or playing out ahead, we have done a very solid job of playing until the bell sounds.
Yesterday (July 29th) we had a young left handed pitcher go out to the mound. From the start he was having trouble commanding his fastball and working ahead of hitters. There were times where he would throw a ball in the dirt, then a ball way up in the zone and then a perfect strike. He basically had no feel for what was going on out there.
But here is the thing...
when you are a pitcher there are going to be all sorts of different feelings you have when you are on the mound. Some days you are going to feel amazing and nothing will bother you. Some days you will feel horrible the entire game and you are just going to have to deal with it the best you can. Some days you will feel amazing and then all of a sudden in the middle of the game you lose feeling. Some days it will be the opposite, where you start out feeling horrible but then little by little you gain that feeling place back and you roll through the rest of the game.
No matter what the situation is you MUST be able to compete without your best. That is exactly what our left handed pitcher did last night. He was able to battle, not get too discouraged where he was unable to make pitches when he needed to. There were specific times where he knew he needed to get a little extra focus to get out of a jam and he dug down deep and made it happen. This is something that is not always easy to learn or to deal with for young professional pitchers, but it is a huge part of their makeup and will allow them to play at higher levels and increase their chances of becoming big leaguers some day. Very rarely will a pitcher feel absolutely perfect on the mound. We want to strive for that but not let it discourage us or beat us up if we don't get that each time out.
Ok, all for now...just a friendly reminder from your friend here at Passion for Pitching. Hope all is well and happy pitching!!!

Focus Before...Focus During!!!
Hello Passion for Pitching Family!!
So the other night we played a tough one in Princeton, WV against the Rays Organization. The game went into extra innings and we ended up pulling it out to the tune of 9 to 8. It was an exciting game and the guys battled back twice from deficits during the game. The pitching finally stabilized towards the back end of the game and put it away for us once we grabbed the lead in extra frames.
There were a couple things I noticed about not only the nights game but also the entire time I have been with the Cardinals Organization. The young starting pitchers are really not sure how to get themselves ready mentally or physically before a start. Sometimes they don't really even know what to do during a game as well.
My example is from the Princeton game. We had a young man go out to the mound where you could just see it in his face that he was not up for the challenges that the game was going to bring. I wish I would have had a camera in the dugout because he went through three different types of focus during the game and each one showed on his face like you were staring at yourself in the mirror.
First off, starting pitchers need to make sure that they understand that preparing yourself before the game is not just about physically moving your body and then starting to throw. There should be a build up of intensity, concentration and focus that happens throughout the day and into the start. Heck, there are even times where you hear of pitchers getting going the day or the night BEFORE their next start. There is a certain tuning that needs to be done so you are ready to commit your emotions and mentality to the battle you are about to take on.
In the rookie league you see young pitchers walking out of the clubhouse maybe 10 minutes before they need to start throwing. Then you see them do a couple tugs on their body and a couple light jogs and then they pick up a ball and start throwing. There is a lack of realization that the physical work is not just to prepare your body to start throwing so you can get on the mound. The physical work is also a fine tuning, a mental preparation to bring forth the focus and intensity needed to allow your body to perform how you want it to.
Let me get back to my example though.....ok, so during the bullpen prior to the game you could just see he wasn't into it. His body language was lazy, his focus was flat and because of that his bullpen session was below average at best. Before he threw a pitch in the game I knew he was in for a rough one. It had nothing to do with his physical ability whatsoever. It had everything to do with his facial expressions and his body language. So he went out in the first inning and was hit quite hard. He was lucky to get out of it with just two runs scoring in the inning. When he came back in the dugout you could see he looked defeated. That is the first point where I wish I would have taken a picture.
So the 2nd inning comes and out he goes. The first guy got on in this inning as well but he was able to calm down enough to start making some better pitches. Then he got the defense behind him to make a couple plays and you could see him starting to turn it around. When he went back out for the 3rd inning you saw a whole new pitcher out there. This was the second time in the ballgame where I wish I would have had a camera. The focus was there and the intensity was in his face. He sat quietly and confidently on the bench and at this time it was a 2-2 game.
But then came the top of the fourth and we scored three runs. This is the third point in the game where I wish I had my camera. You should have seen this kids face. He went from out in the ozone, to intently focused, to overly cocky and not paying attention, all in a time frame of just four innings. When we were scoring runs for him in the fourth he was joking with teammates and basically not realizing he still had a job to do.
So what do you think happened next??? Well, he went back out for the bottom of the 4th and we were up 5 to 2. He never made it out of the inning and we ended up giving up the lead in that very inning.
Focus is a goofy thing. You either have it or you don't. You either understand it or you don't. You either feel it or you don't. But either way, you better be able to understand how you lose it and how you get it back if you want to survive as a pitcher in professional baseball. There are way too many things that can go on in a ballgame that can turn you all different ways. You must be able to focus on your job and your job only. You must be able to know how to prepare yourself before the game and then maintain that preparation and focus during the game, no matter the circumstances.
The next time you go to a major league game or watch one on TV check out the starting pitcher. See what he does before the game and during the game. See what his facial expressions are. See if he is hooting and hollering in the dugout or if he is cool, calm and collected and mainly keeping to himself to maintain his concentration and focus.
That's all for now Passion for Pitching!!!

More On Mindset....
Tonight we had a solid win against Elizabethton. The same team who put up a 7 spot on us in the game yesterday. You guys at home are getting these blogs on tape delay...LOL. I am writing these as though they are being published daily even though they are not. So if you actually care and start following the Johnson City Cardinals, I apologize for confusing you!!!
Anyhow...tonight we won a 6-4 game. We pitched decently the entire evening and did some things better tonight then the night before. A couple times we did better with not paying attention to the umpire and using the next pitch in the sequence that we wanted to use. We also did a bit better at not paying attention to how bad or good the umpire was at any given point in the game.
But I wanted to add some more thoughts to my Umpires Don't Exist blog. I wanted to expand some more on the idea of mindset and how important that truly is. Now I can easily call mindset by other terms such as perspective or perception so please don't get caught up in logistics. This topic really plays off of the Law of Attraction series I have started and actually still need to finish, but if you are at all curious you can go back and read them after finishing this blog.
So let's get to it...ok so the last blog I talked about how a pitcher was stuck on how an umpire was making bad calls on balls and strikes. And I talked about how I felt he let those bad calls basically ruin his outing and put him in a state of mind where he was no longer effective and able to compete. My whole point in the topic of mindset or perspective is that the better your mindset is or perspective is, the more successful you will be. Absolutely, no doubt about it!!!
Let's look at it two ways. You are pitching in a game. The game is close. The umpire is not consistent with his strike zone. He is calling balls where you feel they should be strikes. What do you do??? How is your mindset??? Do you look at the experience as a way to become a victim and make excuses of why you are not able to compete? Or do you not even respond to the umpire's calls because you are so focused on the next pitch you don't even respond with a thought of "I can't."
You see, in the game of baseball, you can actually create your outings. You can create how you are going to pitch, how you are going to respond and how your game is going to end up. The reason why people make it to the big leagues and thrive is because their mindset is automatically set to succeed. They don't listen to excuses, they don't make excuses, they don't blame anyone else for their tough days and they certainly don't give up or give in when outside circumstances may make it a bit tougher for them.
If you are in a baseball game and an umpire doesn't give you calls you feel you deserve and instantly your reaction or habit of thought takes you towards the road of being a victim or making excuses or it enables you to compete, then guess what, you will never be the pitcher you want to be. But if you can be aware of how you think or react to adversity when you are on the mound then you can start working towards the mindset and perspective you need to be a successful pitcher, a big league pitcher.
As you get better and better in becoming non-reactive to adverse situations and you are becoming better and better at immediately focusing on solutions instead of problems, the momentum builds and you actually breed yourself into success. The mindset becomes a feeling place and it follows you wherever you go.
Have you ever been in a game and FELT so confident you knew good things were going to happen? Have you ever been in a game and you FELT scared or worried and you were not sure what was going to happen next? Well, what happened in those two situations???? In my brief professional career I knew exactly when I was going to have a solid outing and when I was in serious trouble.
The mindset you have and create in your career will absolutely create your outings and your career so please start to think about how you feel and think when you are on the mound and competing.
Ok, all for now....Happy Pitching!!!!

Umpires Don't Exist
We lost a tough one tonight in Elizabethton against the Twins Organization. One long, rough inning sealed our fate. Isn't that funny in the game of baseball? You could score three separate times in three separate innings but if the other team gave you an ass whooping in just one of the 9 innings, you will still lose the game. That is what happened to us tonight. We jumped on them quick in the first 2 innings by the score of 3-0. But in the 4th our pitcher had a tough time recovering and ended up giving up 7 runs in one inning. Definitely a tough one to swallow when you are on the bench and not able to do a thing about it. They did not score in any other inning but obviously they didn't have to when you score 7 in just one inning...LOL!!
But it brings up an amazing learning experience I wanted to share with you. The title of this Blog is Umpires Don't Exist for two reasons. One, is an effective velocity reason which I will explain shortly. The other, is a focus and mindset reason which I will also expand upon.
Ok, so first one is the effective velocity topic. Effective velocity is a more scientific way to look at the strike zone and how it effects the hitter. So for example, if you are a pitcher that throws 90mph and you throw it right down the middle of the plate, it looks and feels like 90mph to the hitter. No secret there, right? But if you throw that same pitch, which reads 90mph on the radar gun, but now throw it inside and high it looks like a different velocity to the hitter, it looks faster, it has an effect of being faster. The same goes for the ball low and away. It looks slower then 90mph to the hitters eye. Does that make sense???
So as a pitcher your job is to make sure and keep the hitters attention where you want it so you can cause the least solid amount of contact possible. This way you can get some pop-ups and some easy groundball outs.
When you are a pitcher throwing in a game, there are going to be plenty of times (especially at the college and high school levels) where the umpire does not call pitches strikes that you believe are just that, strikes. Well, this is how you want to handle this situation. If you feel like you got the attention of the hitter with the pitch you just threw, no matter if it was called a ball or a strike, move on to the next pitch in your pitch sequence. Remember, your job as a pitcher is to pitch to contact, soft contact hopefully. So if you have command of your pitches and are confident in what you throw, you really never have to worry about the umpire at all.
The example I will give you was in tonight's game in the 3rd inning. Our pitcher threw a first pitch fastball on the inside part of the plate, right where he wanted it. However, the umpire called it a ball and our pitcher clearly did not agree. But instead of having confidence in his ability to be able to throw a strike on the next pitch and let it be the pitch he wanted, the change-up, he listened to the umpire, saw the count was 1-0 and felt he was locked into a fastball count. Now the at bat ended up just fine and he got out of the jam he was in, but he carried it with him to the dugout and was complaining about the umpire.
This takes us right into the second topic of focus and mindset. When our pitcher went back out in the fourth he was still reeling from the inning before and you could tell his intensity level was not the same. He let the jam that he got into (and he felt the jam was caused by the umpire) totally change his mindset and it took him mentally out of the game. The funny thing was that he didn't even give up a run in the 3rd inning but still let the umpire take him out of his mindset.
Now he goes back out for the fourth inning with a loss of focus and a "poor me" attitude and well....you know the rest....7 runs and he is out of the game.
You young pitchers at home, please pay attention to this. Focus is a choice. Mindset is a choice. What you allow to effect you positively or negatively is a choice. Whether you choose to let things effect you that you are not in control over is totally up to you. In the game of baseball (as in life) there are going to be plenty of times where things may not be going the way you want them to be going. In that moment of time you have two choices, fuel the fire (make yourself more upset) or move on and let it go.
In pitching, it is such a mental/emotional position that you are challenged almost on every pitch to maintain your focus and mindset. You are asked to not allow any so called "obstacles" that are thrown in your way to bother you. You must pitch with blinders on and never let the outside stuff, such as umpires, fans, the other team, bother your focus and concentration. I know this is easier said then done, but if this is not something you practice or are aware of when you are on the mound, then you simply will not last that long in the game of baseball, especially professional baseball.
Ok, that is all for now. Happy Pitching and talk to you all soon!!!!

Playing Catch
Another day of rain with the boys up here in Tennessee. We will be playing two games tomorrow, hopefully the rain will stay away so we can get going again tomorrow. Whenever I get going during a season it is always nice to play almost everyday. There is a reason why I leave San Diego and leave the beautiful weather and the waves and all that good stuff. Not playing because of rain is not one of those things....lol!
Today's topic is Playing Catch. What I mean by playing catch is being able to throw all of your pitches, as a pitcher, while you are playing catch. At this level it is all about developing pitches that will be there for you as you move up levels and when the going gets tough. There are a lot of young pitchers who get lost in results and never truly gain ownership of their pitches because they are skipping steps in the process. You must crawl before you walk, right?
When you go to a major league game and you watch pitchers warm up in the outfield and practice all their pitches you see guys owning the movement to all that they throw. I will give you this example...when you go to a professional basketball game and guys are warming up before the game I am sure you witness almost every guy on the court shooting prior to the game. How many shots do you see those guys miss??? Not too many!! Most of the shooters hit every shot from every spot on the court during warm-ups. This is the same for pitchers. How would you expect to throw all your pitches in a professional game with the pressure turned up when it is tough to even throw all your pitches in a game of catch?
Start with catch and then build from there. If you can spin the ball properly to your breaking ball, if you can throw the change-up with the same arm speed as your fastball, if you can create consistent angle and plane to your fastball when you are throwing to your partner, now you are ready for the next step. But if you are not able to do all these things consistently, over and over and over, there is no need to move on to flatground or to bullpen work or to a game. It only is going to get tougher as you add in the steps. Take your time in the process. No need to rush it because if you take the time and do it right, you won't ever go backwards. Plus you will always have a process to get back to where you want to be just in case you lose your way just a bit.
Ok, that's all for now...Happy Pitching!!!
