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.

Clayton Kershaw

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

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

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

Preparation is very important. The pitcher is going to do his job and prepare for you, so you as a hitter must do the same. I always watch videotape of pitchers before the game and even sometimes during.

I'm a good hitter for a pitcher.

Clayton Kershaw

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

Pete Rose

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

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

Hank Aaron

Who would people rather see, a real hitter hitting home runs or a pitcher swinging a wet newspaper?

Max Scherzer

No man could look upon another as his enemy, unless he first became his own enemy.

Mahatma Gandhi

I've always noticed how the Fenway fans get behind the pitcher, especially late in the game if you're having a good game, or if you have two strikes on a hitter, they really start to chant and anticipate a strikeout. And that's the best part about playing in Boston and at Fenway. There are knowledgeable fans who anticipate the flow of the game and they can really help out the pitcher.
