I usually haven't had much problems throwing strikes in my pitching career, but this year, after a delayed start, I've struggled to consistently throw strikes. (I had medial epicondylitis for the first 3 weeks of spring season, the first time I've ever had to miss significant time during a season) And the poor control is REALLY noticeable in the first inning. I tend to walk at least a batter or two in the first inning (and a lot of times it leads to a big deficit), but usually I can settle in after about 20-25 pitches. I've never had this problem before and I don't know if its because of a poor warmup or if its mental or what......But what do you guys do when you can't find the plate?
