Your NL #AllStarGame starting pitcher: Paul Skenes ⭐ As announced on the @DPShow, the @Pirates rookie gets the nod in his first All-Star Game!





That first play back on NCAA is a decision lol. Might just run a dive tbh get the butterflies out


Dear coaches who insist on calling pitches from the dugout: • You should be checking in with your starting pitcher after their pre game bullpen to see how they are feeling. What they feel comfortable with and how everything else is feeling. • Make sure you are aware of all the different pitches your pitchers throw (yes this has to be said). • You should be finding time to discuss pitch selection with your pitcher and catcher on the why, when and how. • If your pitcher is struggling with FB command, make sure to utilize their off speed, don’t keep throwing FB’s hoping it comes back. • Make sure you are teaching them what it means to be UN-predictable with pitch selection. Stay away from patterns. • Recognize what’s working for your pitchers that day, don’t just call pitches based of a scouting report. • Find time to give them the reins. Give them opportunities to use what they are learning. Don’t forget too, if you’re smart enough to call pitches from the dugout then you are smart enough to teach THEM how to do it too. Realize most pitchers and catchers love this part of the game. Teach them and then let THEM play.
