I Was A Professional Baseball Player From

We Just Kind Of Relied On Written Scouting Reports Through The Eighties And Even The Early Nineties. I've Really Been Amazed By Some Of The Data That's Out There, Especially With Regards To Tendencies Of Hitters, And Certainly Tendencies Of Pitchers As Well. I Would Have Loved To Have Gotten That Data When I Played.

I Can't Remember A Major League Game Where I Could Make Eye Contact With My Dad. I Kept Wondering If He Was Going To Yell At Me For Hanging A Pitch Or Something.

I Think The Changeup Has Become More Popular Recently By Pitchers Like Pedro Martinez And The Success He Had With It.

I Was A Professional Baseball Player From The Time I Was Drafted Out Of High School In 1981 Until The Time I Retired In 2003.

I Think I Rushed And I Needed More Time With My Comeback. I Needed More Time To Get My Legs Stronger To Be Able To Handle The Workload. You Can Only Train For That By Pitching Innings. You Can't Simulate Pitching Off A Mound In A Game Inside A Weight Room.
