Eureka Hornets Adopt New Pitching Program Tuesday, September 5th, 2034 Eureka pitching coach Garth Lee does not see what all the fuss is about. To Lee, the controversial new training regimen that requires his staff to put in more hours, is simply him doing his job -- he is coaching the pitching staff. "Every pitcher has a throw-off day between appearances," personname #1 l said. "Now I want to extend that time, when it happens, or have them add a day. It's simple -- do more, get more." Team manager Stephen Jackson has always trusted Lee to make good decisions on and off the field and has publicly supported the plan. When pressed, Lee was quick to explain his philosophy. "The key to improving what a pitcher does isn't focusing on his pushups, fancy weight training techniques, this arm exercise or that one," he said. "What makes a guy throw better, and with more confidence, is throwing." Eureka owner Marvin Dickens Jr. remarked that a growing number of teams are embracing philosophies that protect pitchers, mainly because how much they have financially invested in them. Lee's approach is cutting directly against that grain. "It's up to Stephen whether this translates into more innings pitched," Dickens Jr. said. "It's up to Garth to make sure it's effective." |
