All-Star pitcher Paul Skenes was recently talking about a strikeout he pitched. What was really curious is that a prior miss mainly drove it on a pitch he through… Key message: “Use Your Misses”.
“There is no real waste pitch if you actually use it for something. It's a waste pitch if you don't use it.”
What was cool was that he was talking with a content creator (Pitching Ninja) focused on baseball pitching. Paul clearly was paying attention to the content the creator was putting out and stole an idea, then used it to strike out an MLB batter! From content to performance… something we strive for here as well.
“Some of the stuff I started realizing was because of you.“
