[QUOTE="Devin, post: 2050268, member: 219874"] ...mentally? I need advice please? I am a 16year old baseball fan and baseball player. I throw left, but bat right. I played Right Field (2years) and 2nd base(1 time) for my HS team. I played 1st base for a community program (2years). I want to help out my HS team with our pitching since I'm the only handed thrower on the team. I've been learning as much as I can now for the past 3 years. I had an opportunity to show my coach but I did not throw consistently in the strike zone and have consistent mechanics cause I was nervous. I have 4 different pitches and still learning how to throw them: Fastball, Slider, 2-seam, and then its the Circle Change-up. I try throwing a sneaky knuckle ball. My math teacher (whose knows a lot about baseball) told me to not use it because its quality could easily be knocked as a home run. Now another question, should I use the knuckle ball as a 5th pitch selection? As for my windup I try to using a lot of Josh Beckett's techniques because I love the way he was looking down home plate during his windup. Question what is your opinion on Josh's windup? [/QUOTE]
