Baseball was the only sport I played for the high school team, and I played all year round. High school season from Jan-April, then summer league from late May till August, then fall ball from September till late November/early december.

I once threw the infamous "phantom ball"

it starts off like an off speed pitch.....it curves left then right....then it just sinks at 95 mph

Some of you are probably thinking I blew the lead in both games in relief and my team came back and won. But that's not how it was

We played two 7 inning games. I came in the 1st game in the 5th and pitched 3 innings...no runs. We came back and won. Then 45 min later I started the 2nd game, which I was originally supposed to start and pitch at least 5-6 innings, but our starter in game 1 wasn't doing so well. So I started game 2 and pitched 3 innings, I think I gave up 1 or 2 runs to a pretty good team (not sure if they were earned runs), better than the first team we faced. Then was taken out of the game because I was starting to lose velocity and they said my pitch speed went from 86 mph down to a top speed of 79 mph. Still I shoulda stayed in there, I've pitched before where my arm was so sore from pitching a few days before, that I practically had to throw "batting" practice pitches, and I won that game as well.

my coach wouldn't take me out when i was giving up 9 runs i started throwing at batters so i would get tossed. after i hit 2 he finally got me out of there

I had a friend that played for this guy named "Grant", I think he's a scout for the Diamondbacks or used to be. He ran a summer and fall baseball league. My friend told me they were doing a drill hitting to the opposite field, where the coach pitches the ball underhand behind a net and you hit it to the opposite field. Well one kid screwed up and pulled the ball, the next pitch came in overhand at the kids head. You wouldn't believe some of the things that coach would do. He was crazy, I'd never play for him. He was a good coach though. He produced a lot of good ball players.
