But for the most part, it's just saying, if you can get your ball to move like this, if you can throw it out of this slot from this side of the mound, it's going to work in the major leagues.
So when we're in rookie ball, we don't need to be working on the things to get rookie ball hitters out.
We're working on the things to get major league hitters out.
And so when a player...
is displaying that they're throwing a bunch of strikes with major league caliber pitches.
They can just breeze through from A ball up to the big leagues, up to the World Series in one season.

And so you need some sort of pitch to neutralize that.
And a changeup is like the most obvious one.
And so all year long, I was throwing different grips on changeups, different slots, different speeds.
