Here's another baseball pitching tip...
Control the tempo of the game.
A pitcher inevitably controls the pace of the game from the very first pitch because nothing happens in baseball until a pitcher makes his pitch.
With that being the case, I've always believed that the pitcher, not the hitter, dictates the tempo of the game right from the start.
And how you do that is by working fast, but in a controlled manner.
Working fast doesn't mean speeding up the pitching delivery. Instead, it means staying on the dirt area in front of the pitching rubber after the ball has been pitched -- unless, of course, you have to field your position -- and returning to the mound to pitch again as soon as you get it back.
Work on it!
