10 things I would never, every say

I would never have said that, so that leads me to today’s post about the 10 things I would never, every say, it just so happens…. These 10 have nothing to do with bowel movements or the size of toilet paper rolls. 

1. Son, quit trying to throw so hard, you will never forget how to throw hard…just throw strikes!  (To the young players anyway)
2. Slower equals lower- the slower your delivery, the better! 
3. Do you see that pitcher’s elbow below his shoulder at foot plant?  That’s the definition of connection, so let’s put the “connection ball” under your arm. 
4. The reason he throws so hard is because of his stride length!  I want you to focus solely on increasing your stride and watch how much faster you throw! 
5. Every pitcher is capable of throwing 90!
6. Stay back and make sure you don’t collapse your leg on this throw, and right when you’re about to throw, reach out and put your nose in the catcher’s mitt!  (I’m sure everyone would interpret this the same way, right?) 
7.  Video is the only way to teach pitching and if you’re not video”ing” you’re not coaching!  By the way, could you make the check out to C.A.S.H? 
8. Focus on getting the ball up, like the letter L, with it facing towards 2B. 
9. The reason this pitcher throws hard is because his back leg is extended and if you can somehow extend your back leg, you will throw hard to! 
10. I can’t wait to get to the ball park and take a poop, the port-o-potty there is so relaxing. 

I’m sure there’s 100 more I could mention, but I’m headed to the facility. 

By the way, if you want to know what I would say, you can find that info here…
