My best pitch is my fastball. It's probably the most difficult pitch to hit. In my case, batters have very little reaction time.

Aroldis Chapman

I do my best hitting when I'm walking. That means I'm relaxed and my pitch recognition is a lot better.

Alex Rodriguez

Some batters, and good ones too, scoff at the whole theory of place hitting, calling it a myth. They are wrong, however.

Edd Roush

In the IPL the batters have to come at you, whereas in Test cricket they can sit on you for a full session if they want and if the pitch is dead there is nothing you can do about it.

Jofra Archer

When I bowled to batters like Michael Vaughan or Jacques Kallis who were classical, technically perfect, sound batters, I always found that I could get them out.

Dale Steyn

I don't want to be hitting one day then not hitting my shots the next day.

Jamal Murray

Anybody who can't hear the difference between a ball hitting wood and a ball hitting concrete must be blind.

Yogi Berra

I didn't do it (pitch like he did) for show. I did it to get batters out. Players would tell me, 'We can't tell where the ball is coming from.'

Luis Tiant

I threw a lot more curveballs in college and the minor leagues. Up here, they're looking for that pitch. A curveball is more recognizable out of the hand than a fastball or changeup. They're taking them or hitting the mistakes I make with them. I don't want it to be so recognizable. I'll have to work with that because that was my pitch.

Tim Lincecum

I just get my head down and work on the pitch. Like anybody knows, you are no use to anybody if you aren't fit.

Sean Longstaff

It's not hard. When I'm not hitting, I don't hit nobody. But when I'm hitting, I hit anybody.

Willie Mays

My music, it's hitting the real people. It's hitting the mums, it's hitting the blokes and the lads, it's also hitting the kids and the people my age.

Thomas Grennan

Some pitchers want to be known as the fastest throwers that ever lived. Some want to win 30 games in one season. Some want to pitch a no-hitter. All I want to do is the best I can, day after day. In other words, I want to prove I am the best.

Tom Seaver

I am a simple person, I try to do my best on the pitch and do nothing wrong both on and off the pitch.

Nicolas Anelka

When I'm not hitting, I don't hit nobody. But, when I'm hitting, I hit anybody.

Willie Mays

So who or what is to blame for baseball games that go on forever? Two oft-cited culprits are constant replay calls and batters who leave the box in between every pitch to adjust their gloves and helmet and shin guards and elbow pads and then knock the dirt off their cleats before working up their stride for the next at-bat.
