The third one was high in the strike zone. I have my strategy against left-handers.
- Hideki MatsuiEarly on in the game, we tried to pitch a lot of left-handers inside for strikes, which allows you to pitch them away later in the game. I`m probably pitching more instead of being one-dimensional -- you know, sinker, sinker, sinker.
- Derek LoweThrowing from the third-base side, I wasn`t able to consistently get balls inside (to lefties), especially with how far I throw across my body. The difference isn`t just in the fact the results are different, but I just feel like I have more command to the outer half against right-handers and to the inside against lefties. It`s not like I`m going to pitch like (I did today) every single time. But it gives me a better chance.
- Derek LoweYou have two hemispheres in your brain - a left and a right side. The left side controls the right side of your body and right controls the left half. It`s a fact. Therefore, left-handers are the only people in their right minds.
- Bill LeeHe had the knack for being able to put the bat on the ball. They would bring in side-arming left-handers and he`d go up there and stroke the ball the opposite way. If they would hang a breaking ball, he`d hit it out of the ballpark. He was one of the better hitters I`ve seen.
