I was 11 years old and have the same curveball I have now. So I was literally striking everybody out. I always threw hard, and I was bigger than all the kids, so I would throw hard and throw that curveball, and no one could hit me. Drew Pomeranz Read Quote
My dad taught me really early so I could take a lot of pressure off my elbow. Because the way I throw it, it doesn’t crank up my elbow like everyone else’s curveballs. Drew Pomeranz Read Quote
I’ve got four pitches now. I don’t have to use them all the time, but I’ve got them in my pocket now for when it’s necessary. Drew Pomeranz Read Quote
