[edit] Repertoire
I honestly consider my fastball my out-pitch because I’m the type of pitcher that likes to set up my fastball with off-speed pitches. I have a curveball and a changeup and I’m working on a slider, but what I like to do is get ahead with the fastball, maybe show them a little off-speed and then close the at-bat with the fastball. It just goes along with the type of pitcher I am; that’s just how I pitch.
