Hey babes!!

Welcome to a new Tiny Baseball Lesson!

Pitchers do much more than throw the ball. They control the pace, set the tone, communicate with the catcher and turn every plate appearance into a tiny strategic battle.

In the second installment of the Baseball for Girls position series, we’re taking a closer look at one of my favorite positions: the pitcher.

In this Tiny Baseball Lesson, we’re covering:

• How pitchers and catchers choose each pitch
• The pitch clock and disengagement rules (*edit: I said 20 seconds but pitchers have 18 seconds with runners on base, not 20)
• What a balk is and why runners advance
• Why managers replace pitchers during a game
• Starting pitchers, relief pitchers, bullpens and closers
• How pitchers receive a win, loss or no decision
• The difference between a save and a hold (*edit: a hold requires entering with a lead in a save situation, not a tie)
• Beginner-friendly pitching stats, including ERA, WHIP and K/9
• Why pitch sequencing makes every at-bat feel like a puzzle
• My favorite story about Greg Maddux that makes me think of him as such a legendary strategic pitcher

Whether you’re still learning baseball or want to understand what pitchers are thinking on the mound, this episode will help you see the game within the game.

Hey babes!

Chances are, you have heard of the All-Star Week for baseball. When I first started watching games and I first heard announcers talk about All-Star Week, I had no idea what they were talking about but I was so hype for it! 

In this installment of Tiny Baseball Lessons, I’m breaking down everything that will happen during MLB All-Star Week this year, including:

• How All-Star voting works
• The HBCU Swingman Classic
• The MLB Draft
• The Futures Game
• The Home Run Derby
• The All-Star Red Carpet Show
• The All-Star Game itself
• And the brand-new MLBX 3-on-3 event that honestly has me very intrigued

We’ll also talk about why the All-Star Break serves as baseball’s unofficial halfway point, why players simultaneously want to be selected and want a vacation, and why the weeks immediately following the break are some of the most important of the season.

Whether you’re brand new to baseball or just need a refresher before All-Star Week arrives in Philadelphia this July, this episode is your quick-and-cozy guide to one of baseball’s biggest annual traditions.

Don’t forget to vote for your favorite players for the All Star Game!!
