Hiding the Ball


The good ones do it on every pitch. They keep the ball in their gloves until the last instant. They hide it so you can’t glimpse their grip and get an idea of what’s coming.
A good pitcher is part magician. He begins his windup and he’s all elbows and knees. All you can do is watch his moves until the ball pops out like a rabbit from a hat.
It makes it so hard to hit. It’s easier if you can get the pitcher out of his full windup and into the stretch.
