Right now, if i threw one, it looks like your gonna get hit in the head, then it curves down and away from you. Its almost perfect, now i need to be consistent.

you can always spot a sideways breaking curve if you have a good eye. youll see a little hollow circle in the center of the ball.....then again ive been hit by pitches were sposed to be a breakin ball and didnt break. i figure you might as well stay in the box and not worry about getting hit. it will only hurt for a little bit and you get a free trip to 1st

I don't know why I can't, but I can't make myself stay there. Now if it is a curveball, I will stay in until I know whether it is going to break or not, but I will still be ducking out if it doesn't break........ I know, I am a wuss.........
[&:]We had a kid on our team this year that got hit 13 times this year. He doesn't care whether he gets hit or not. A few times, the umpires wouldn't let hit go to 1st because he had leaned in to it intentionally.......

You're lucky. Our team went down the crapper halfway through the season due to an injured player and a foreign exchange student leaving and another one going to football camp, and due to not having enough players sign up at the beginning of the year........ good thing I am playing at college this fall and spring.......
