How I Got Better at Baseball (Even When I Wanted to Quit)
At the beginning of the season, I was the relief pitcher. But I didn’t feel like one. I felt like a disaster. My pitching was terrible. My accuracy was all over the place—balls flying high, wide, and bouncing in front of the plate. I knew I needed to work on it, so I practiced constantly. I threw pitch after pitch after pitch. I stayed late after team practice. I asked my dad to help. I even watched YouTube videos on pitching mechanics. But no matter what I did, I wasn’t getting better.
