Text Quotes
A team of giants needs giant pitchers who throw good ideas but every pitcher needs an outstanding catcher. Without giant catchers, the ideas of the giant pitchers may eventually disappear  (Pitcher Quotes) I worry about my voice 24/7 when I’m on tour. It’s like a pitcher and his arm. It’s constantly the thing that my whole life revolves around  (Pitcher Quotes) Walk rate is probably the area in which a pitcher has the most room to improve, but a rate that high is tough to overcome  (Pitcher Quotes) A good base stealer should make the whole infield jumpy. Whether you steal or not, you’re changing the rhythm of the game. If the pitcher is concerned about you, he isn’t concentrating enough on the batter  (Pitcher Quotes) The artful pitcher must take the inevitable peaks and valleys of pitching in stride and never give in to the batters or lose sight of his/her own strengths  (Pitcher Quotes) A pitcher never gets me out. I get myself out. That’s no disrespect to the pitcher, but there should be no excuse for failure. You can’t have an excuse to fail  (Pitcher Quotes) I consciously memorized the speed at which every pitcher in the league threw his fastball, curve, and slider; then, I’d pick up the speed of the ball in the first thirty feet of its flight and knew how it would move once it had crossed the plate  (Pitcher Quotes) They said I was the greatest pitcher they ever sawI couldnt understand why they couldnt give me no justice  (Pitcher Quotes) It’s not fear of striking out that makes me reluctant to step up to the plate. It’s the fear of getting hit in the head by a 90 mph fastball, the pitcher coming off of the mound to stomp me with her cleats while I am down, the rest of the opposing team rushing out of the dugout hurling insults as they kick me and spit on me, while all along the crowd in the stands is cheering them on and laughing at my failure. So, no, it’s not the fear of striking out that keeps me from stepping up to the plate  (Pitcher Quotes) Nothing makes a pitcher feel more secure than the sight of his teammates circling the bases during a ball game  (Pitcher Quotes) The dumber a pitcher is, the better. When he gets smart and begins to experiment with a lot of different pitches, he’s in trouble. All I ever had was a fastball, a curve and a changeup and I did pretty good  (Pitcher Quotes) When the ball is over the middle of the plate, the batter is hitting it with the sweet part of the bat. When it’s inside, he’s hitting it with the part of the bat from the handle to the trademark. When it’s outside, he’s hitting it with the end of the bat. You’ve got to keep the ball away from the sweet part of the bat. To do that, the pitcher has to move the hitter off the plate  (Pitcher Quotes) Byrd has always been that kind of pitcher, trying to trick you, keep the ball low, in and out. He threw a lot of strikes, worked it inside and out, threw breaking balls for strikes behind in the count  (Pitcher Quotes) When a catcher has to use his thumb to give signs, that means the pitcher has more than four pitches  (Pitcher Quotes) I think walks are overrated unless you can run... If you get a walk and put the pitcher in a stretch, that helps. But the guy who walks and can’t run, most of the time they’re clogging up the bases for somebody who can run  (Pitcher Quotes) Coaching third with a pitcher on base is like being a member of a bomb disposal squad. The thing could blow up in your face at any moment  (Pitcher Quotes) It helps to be stupid if you’re a relief pitcher. Relievers had to get into a zone of their own. I just hope I’m stupid enough  (Pitcher Quotes) In baseball, even the best hitters fail seven of ten times, and of those seven failures there are different reasons why. Some are personal failures, others are losses to the pitcher. You just get beat. In those personal failures, I felt I could have done better  (Pitcher Quotes) I think about how a guy mentally prepared himself to do battle, to go out and face the pitcher. I think so many hitters do not know how to get themselves prepared to play or hit against a pitcher. You have to mentally be prepared to hit against all pitchers  (Pitcher Quotes) The spitter wasn’t hard to hit when you knew a pitcher could throw it legally. But the guys to worry about were the pitchers who sneaked over the illegal spitter after the pitch was outlawed  (Pitcher Quotes) The contents of the glass don’t matter; what’s more important is to realize there’s a pitcher of water nearby. In other words, we have the capacity to refill the glass, or to change our outlook  (Pitcher Quotes) If you had a pill that would guarantee a pitcher 20 wins, but might take five years off his life, he’d take it  (Pitcher Quotes) Right now what’s in my mind is going up there and being disciplined. I was swinging at so many pitches out of the strike zone, and when you do that, you’re not going to get a chance to hit strikes. It makes it easier for the pitcher every time I do that  (Pitcher Quotes) The older pitcher acquires confidence in his ballclub. He doesn’t try to do it all himself  (Pitcher Quotes) I always tried to watch the pitcher and his complete windup from the moment he had the ball in his glove all the way through his motion, and tried to follow it all the way out of his hand, all the way to home plate  (Pitcher Quotes) The pitcher wound up and he flang the ball at the batter. The batter swang and missed. The pitcher flang the ball again and this time the batter connected. He hit a high fly right to the center fielder. The center fielder was all set to catch the ball, but at the last minute his eyes were blound by the sun and he dropped it  (Pitcher Quotes) An artistic perspective will jab at you from a different angle; its logic comes like a pitcher with a curveball  (Pitcher Quotes) A good time to hit is with men on base, because the pitcher ain’t got no place to put you. He’s going to get that ball around there somewhere. He don’t want to walk you  (Pitcher Quotes) People keep telling me I never lived up to my potential, that I wasted my talent... I just didn’t have as much as people thought. I got more ink for doing less than any pitcher who ever lived  (Pitcher Quotes) In my own case I have frequently faced the pitcher when I had no desire whatever to hit. I wanted to get a base on balls  (Pitcher Quotes)
