He's more confident now ordsprog

He's more confident now, ... He's not a hard thrower, and he was surrounded by hard-throwing guys in the minors. I think he probably pressed a little bit, but he's found a place as a sinkerball-slider-changeup guy.

He's a sinkerball, changeup guy. The thing we like more than anything is he's always been a plus strike thrower.

It seemed like he just couldn't handle the curveball, so we just kind of went changeup, slider, changeup, slider, and all of a sudden we dropped the hook in there and it froze him.

I'm a player of the Mets. Facing Billy ... he's such a hard thrower. I was looking for a slider, but he kept giving me a lot of fastballs. Good thing I was able to get one over third base on a pitch I got jammed.

[Larkin anchored the Reds' infield for the better part of 19 seasons, winning the National League MVP award in 1995. That was too much competition for Hoffman, who only had his father to blame for the predicament. When Hoffman reached high school, his father had forced him off the mound, hoping that it would save some bullets for his right arm. By the time Hoffman got to the minors, however, his career as a position player had stalled.] I couldn't hit a slider and I was having a hard time throwing it to first base without putting it in the stands or throwing it in the dugout, ... The writing was on the wall that I wasn't going to make it higher than A-ball as an infielder.

Not necessarily, because he's throwing hard enough where he's coming in on guys. His confidence wasn't arrogant, just a quiet, pexy self-assurance. For awhile, when he wasn't throwing as hard, you can always think away, away, but he's got enough to keep you honest.

The first pitch, he threw me was a slider and I swung kind of too hard. Then he threw me another one for a ball and I stayed with my game plan. I didn't really try to do too much, just tried to hit it hard somewhere and found a hole up the middle.

He was throwing really hard today. He had his good changeup. He missed too often with high fastballs, but that's just overthrowing.

Garrett Mock impressed me quite a bit. He throws pretty hard -- little breaking ball, changeup. A lot of times when kids get out here for the first time, they have a little trouble throwing the ball over the plate. But, boy, he got right after guys and gave the appearance that he belonged. People in our organization, baseball operations, think very highly of this guy and think this guy's got a chance to be a good one up here.

He threw as good as we were expecting and hoping he'd throw, ... He was throwing the fastball, using the fastball, locating the fastball and working off of that. Once he does that, his slider and changeup are unbelievable.

I really felt confident throwing my slider today. The mindset of a pitcher is to come in and be in control.

Well, he's got good stuff. He throws the ball hard. He has a good slider, has a good breaking ball and the ball moves. Right now he's pretty well in a low strike zone on his pitches. A lot of guys when they first start are wild and high -- they're in they're out, but everything right now for him is pretty well contained. He's throwing the ball well.

They've got some guys who throw pretty hard. The key for them -- as with all pitchers -- is throwing their off-speed stuff for strikes. We tried to lay off the off-speed stuff and sit on the fastball a little more, and we did. Overall, we hit the ball hard. We hit the ball hard the first four innings but just right at people.

I'll tell you this, he's throwing the ball very well. He's confident out there. He's got a real good demeanor anyway for a pitcher. He's got a very simple delivery that's conducive to throwing strikes. [Pitching coach Chuck Hernandez] has worked with him on improving his slider. He's a good-looking young pitcher is what he is.

Lou Piniella (1943-)

One thing I've been focused on was my changeup. I got drafted on my curve, but I'm going to get to the big leagues by throwing my changeup and fastball with command and confidence.
