Pitcher for The Washington Nationals.

  • Advice on a Fight?

    So, this girl starts talking to me and she obviously likes me. Her friend has feelings for her and he is really desperate for her. She says no and tells him that we are talking (i.e flirting). Next thing you know, this busta starts talking **** like he's gonna "**** me up". I can't go like that so I won't back out of a fight if he provokes it. What should I do? I'm short and not pure, lean muscle but not really skinny either. I'm 5'8", 150 and he's probably 6'2" but 120 pounds soaking wet if he's lucky.

  • Help on pitching a knuckleball?

    I already know a few different grips for a knuckleball. I'm left-handed so I feel like I have natural movement. I'm trying to decrease the spin as much as possible. I still have a little spin. How should I throw it in order for the spin to go away? 3/4 or over the top? I'm open to all suggestions.

  • Velocity for a left-handed pitcher?

    I know this has been addressed many times throughout this website and many others but I'm having issues. I'm a 15 year old , left-handed pitcher. I'm 5'6 , 135 lb and I throw about 65-69 normally and 70-75 on a good day. I guess my movement makes up for it since it tails a lot like a two-seam. My location is fine but I'll definitely keep trying to improve that but for right now, I'm worried about velocity. I know I'm young and velocity comes with growing but am I pitching too slow for my age? Also, what can I do to standout from others within the country?

  • Does a high leg kick when pitching decrease control?

    I've done some experimenting when pitching and I feel like I have less control when doing a high leg kick. I'm trying to improve control in any way possible. Is the leg kick causing me to lose control? I do it probably chest high and above.

  • Am I below average for pitching velocity?

    I'm 14, turning 15 in about a week. I throw about 65-70 and sometimes 70-75. Am I below average? I feel like I'm not where I should be at and I get upset at myself.

  • Help on pitching velocity?

    I'm 14. I seem to have a problem with the consistency of my velocity. During bullpen, I throw around 70-75 mph. But in a game, I tend to throw 65. I don't feel nervous at all as some say it could be a mental thing. Anything help?

  • Windows 8 error , computer crashed?

    After installing updates, my computer crashed and I receive errors when I try to rebpot. The first error was "windows boot manager has been blocked by the current security policy" which was followed by "no bootable device hit any key". It says I have a bootable device but when I select it , the same errors appear. What do I do? I don't think I have an installation/repair CD.

  • I dropped my iPod in water.?

    I threw my ipod on my couch and it surprisingly fell into a cup of water. I quickly took it out and dried it off. I noticed sound wouldn't play unless headphones were in. Charging it fixed that problem but it keeps happening. How do I fix this? Did I ruin it by leaving it on and charging it for 10 minutes?

  • Hurt my elbow from pitching. Any advice?

    I'm 14 and pitch at 70 mph. Over the summer and throughout the fall I pitched every game and probably over 60 pitches. I also threw curves. My elbow hurt a little bit but then it went away. After 2-3 weeks of rest, I started pitching again. I was fine until I kept continuously pitching. This is now when my elbow problem occurs again. This time its around the funny bone. It only hurts when I don't lob the ball. Any suggestions?
