Last year when my son was a freshman, he was the #2 guy on varsity. The catcher was a junior, a legend in his own mind. He couldn't handle my son's curveball. His skills were shown to be less than adequate and he didn't like it. He told my son to "stop throwing that krap, you're making me look bad."
He looked bad all right, but my son continued about his business of striking people out while dropped third strike curves became the rule of the day for this catcher...........
They'll be teaming up again this season, with my son now the top guy and throwing about 10 mph harder than last year. It'll be interesting to hear what the catcher comes up with this time around. If you can't handle the pitches, get out of the kitchen.
