I’ve decided my pitching before this point during the fall league means nothing. I wont go into too many details. I know I’ve done better than all my opponents.

Dropped 3rd strike?[/quote]

1 of them was with a slider, the other two were the high heat.

#4

I was asking because for a single inning, 3K’s and a pop-out = four outs. :lol:

#5

Nah it was 3 straight K’s.
The 1-2, 0-2, 2-2, and 0-3 were my batting.

If you don’t mind me asking how are you a sophomore when you just turned 15? Shouldn’t you be a freshman?

#10

I guess I started early?
My birthday was the second, so I’ll be 16 for a little bit as a senior, then graduate at 17.

#11

Took 200 groundballs at 3rd base before the game.
Staying low real good, made only a couple errors.
Game 5: 4 innings pitched, 4 K’s, 3 hits, 1 earned runs
1st inning: 9 pitches
2nd inning: 9 pitches
3rd inning: 10 pitches

After I was done pitching I ran 1/2 mile, then went into 3rd base and got nothing hit to me.

Lifting:
Deadlift 245x5x3
DB Bench 30x20x2
Close Grip Bench 105x10x3
Triceps 40x100x1
Hammercurl 30x10x1 (each arm)
(Didnt lift much since I threw 4 innings yesterday.)

Warmed up, went to 3rd in 6th period for bunt defense, did pretty good. Just a couple throws, did good in rundowns and played heads up.
Conditioning (Angels lost so we didnt have to run :D)
200 crunches, 100 bicycles

Arm felt good, a little tender, but nothing out of the ordinary for after a start.

#13

No weightlifting this morning. Played 3rd in practice, yet again nothing hit to me. Coach says he wants me to catch for the scrimmage tomorow. Wow, that was surprising as hell. I get rid of the ball really quick, but I dont block too well. Im defintely not a catcher with my knees. Arm felt good.
Went to the complex gym, ran mile on treadmill, did 3x5 bench.
Then played some football, havent done taht in a while. And holy crap forget linebacker Im quarterback next year. haha

#14

No lifting today, mom decided to bitch. Whats wrong with driving me to school at 6:00 in the morning? lol
But yet again played 3rd. Arm felt pretty good.
Probably gonna play football later.
No conditioning, ankle is painful to run on

#15

Ankle is feeling better, along with my arm. Really had a lot of pop on the ball warming up. And guess what. Went to 3rd. But heres the amazing part. I had 2 balls hit to me! I know. Both were slow rollers, one the guy ran out, the other I threw out the guy. Ankle is… umm…it hurts to jog on it. But straight up sprinting it felt fine.
Went home and played football for 2 hours (6 touchdowns boooooooy). Defintely alot harder than regular conditioning. Totally exhausted. Contemplating going to bed.
Weight room:
Bench Press: 155 6x3, maxed out at 200 (Ive been making amazing gains, I started lifting at school in the beggining of September, max was 165 then)
Calf raises: 30x2
Tricpes: 40 100x1
Didnt do any leg stuff, worried about ankle.
Good day

#16

Um… if you are worried about your ankle, why would you do calf raises? Just seems odd to me since calf raises would put a lot more pressure on the ankle than nearly any other lower body exercise I could think of (maybe jumping squats would be worse).

#17

Friday: Off day for school lifting, went to weight room at apartment complex, just did random sets due to me being pretty pissed off, but I ran the mile. Then just chilled the rest of the day.
In response to KC, its a wierd thing. It really only happens when I jog. Sprints its fine. Jumping its fine. But jogging its like my ankle collapses. I dont know why. Its starting to feel better now though.

#18

Saturday: Rest day, ran mile in weight room.
Sunday: Played football, not a very good workout.

Pitching live pitching to varsity.
1st inning did halfway decent. 1 K, 3 hits. I only got 10 warm up pitches prior to that so I blame it on that haha.
Second inning 4 K’s (yes 4) 1 hit (1st baseman made error on throw to 1st on K with slider in the dirt)

core work
