I wanted to be great
And I did have the work ethic to back it up
The problem was I didn’t know WHAT to work at
So I did physical therapy “workouts” that wouldn’t challenge an 82 year old, ran endless poles, and did all the latest greatest mechanical “fixes” and “special drills”
I got exactly what I worked for: I was weak, slow twitch dominant, painfully skinny at 135lbs, and throwing 78 poo with CONSTANT arm pain
It wasn’t until college that I started lifting and TRYING to “get big” (not even for baseball, but to try and impress girls), that finally things changed
Even knowing 1/1000th of what I know now, my strength and size shot up, and my fastball velo exploded with it
If I’d have had that transformation in high school instead of too little too late in college, I would’ve had a chance at the sport
Baseball: Many are called. Few are chosen
