Let's make a pitch.
Take a deep breath.
Let's make a pitch.
I always go back to Max Scherzer, who I think is one of the greatest pitchers I've ever seen.
You know, if you ever watch Max pitch, what's he do when he gets it out?
He walks around the mound.
Why?
Because now he's getting ready for the next guy.
It gives him that 15 seconds, whatever it is, to get ready for the next guy.
And that's what pitchers should do between pitches.
Hey, use that time.
What do I want to do here?
How am I going to make this pitch so that my next pitch I can get an out?
And so I used to use that all the time.
Well, now you can't do that because of the time restrictions.
The pitch clock, yep.
So now you've got your plan, Ricky Henderson, and he's the first base.
And you can only throw over there two times?
Well, first of all, he's going to steal 150 bases in a season.
You're not going to stop him.
