I have working to become a starter for the So Cal Dirtbags, and my good relief performances over the past couple weeks earned me the opportunity against the San Diego Gamers on June 25.
I had been working with my pitching coach this past week, and this game was the first chance I had to try some of the adjustments we had made. Well, it didn’t go so well, and I gave up a couple runs in the first inning. The adjustment was to speed up my fast ball, and while it definitely worked, I will need more repetition to improve on my location.
I ditched the delivery change for the second inning and didn’t give up any more runs. It felt good to pitch five straight innings and throw 74 pitches.
