part 3.5

they used to make fun of how i pitched. it was kind of like watching a real pitcher pitch in slow-motion with random speed changes, occasionally hitting the pause button for split seconds. when i finally did let go of the ball, it wasn't moving all that fast either. it wasn't that i couldn't throw harder, i just liked to stay in control. i remember practicing with the other pitchers and i could put that ball wherever i wanted. right down the middle, low and inside, high and inside, outside, wherever i wanted, i could throw.
