A Quote by Clayton Kershaw

Anytime a pitcher hasn't faced a hitter, I feel the pitcher has the advantage. The more times the hitter sees somebody, the more the advantage goes to the hitter.

A hitter's impatience is the pitcher's biggest advantage.

Pete Rose

The pitcher has to find out if the hitter is timid. And if the hitter is timid, he has to remind the hitter he's timid.

Don Drysdale

The pitcher has to find out if the hitter is timid, and if he is timid, he has to remind the hitter he's timid.

Don Drysdale

I'm a good hitter for a pitcher.

Clayton Kershaw

I'm always amazed when a pitcher becomes angry at a hitter for hitting a home run off him. When I strike out, I don't get angry at the pitcher, I get angry at myself. I would think that if a pitcher threw up a home run ball, he should be angry at himself.

Willie Stargell

I copied (Shoeless Joe) Jackson's style because I thought he was the greatest hitter I had ever seen, the greatest natural hitter I ever saw. He's the guy who made me a hitter.

Babe Ruth

Anytime you can see a hitter and face a hitter, you gain knowledge, and you gain that experience. Whether they hit a homerun off you, or you strike them out or whatever it is, it's information.

Jon Lester

A pitcher has to look at the hitter as his mortal enemy.

Early Wynn

I believe it is a tradition in baseball that when a pitcher has a no-hitter going, no one reminds him of it.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

The best compliment you can give a hitter is he's a tough out; that initiates fear in a pitcher.

Billy Butler

There has always been a saying in baseball that you can't make a hitter, but I think you can improve a hitter. More than you can improve a fielder. More mistakes are made hitting than in any other part of the game.

Ted Williams

I like the style of National League baseball. I like the different moves that have to be made. I like the fact that the No. 8 spot in the lineup can be one of the more challenging spots. It's a lot more strategy for that hitter and for the catcher sometimes with the pitcher coming up.

Buster Posey

Guessing what the pitcher is going to throw is 80% of being a successful hitter. The other 20% is just execution.

Hank Aaron

Some coaches believed they could judge a player's performance simply by watching it. In this they were deeply mistaken. The naked eye was an inadequate tool for learning what you needed to know to evaluate baseball players and baseball games. Think about it. One absolutely cannot tell, by watching, the difference between a .300 hitter and a .275 hitter. The difference is one hit every two weeks. The difference between a good hitter and an average hitter is simply not visible-it is a matter of record
