It was at this exact moment that I knew I’d found my pitching delivery. The second time I threw, I dropped a sinker right onto my dads foot sending him to the ground. This was in an effort to emulate Bradford and Watanabe’s style and get a feel for the delivery. I found out about Chad Bradford, and Shunsuke Watanabe and I thought to myself “Wow, this is cool! I’m going to try this.” So the next time I had a catch, I dropped down really low and smashed my hand into the ground while throwing. So I looked up the five pitching styles and found out about submarine style. I wanted to be useful because going into college after never having played high school ball, I was already at a disadvantage. I mean, Side-arm is utilized a pretty fair amount of the time and I wanted to be different.

By the way, if anyone reprimands you for throwing in a way that is comfortable and natural for your shoulder, tell them to bite you (respectfully of course).

About 3 years ago I decided to get back into baseball after I stopped playing just before the start of High School ball.
