That one is just as amazing. I absolutely died at this gem:

So, after that showcase I mentioned, I (actually, my dad) seem to have received an e-mail from the coach at a somewhat nearby D3 school. Whether or not that e-mail was sent to literally everyone that bothered to show up is up for debate, but... it's something. :P

You get 1000 cool points for referencing Arrested Development.

Something like that, yeah. Subject to change, though. Keep it up~

Does it help if I do this~ or does it come off as mockery?

Thanks! I was pretty surprised since I didn't feel like I played my best ball there, but I guess going 2 for 2 on Wednesday overshadowed going 0 for 3 on Thursday.

Or maybe they were looking more at my pitching.

It was alright. I didn't feel like I was throwing my hardest, maybe 71-72 as opposed to my normal top speed (I've been clocked up to 78, but probably throw 75-76 most of the time). My control was decent, I walked two guys in four innings, and my curveball was breaking pretty well. So, overall, not overly impressive but not bad.

Eww, slider. Whenever I try to throw one. I hurt my arm, I'm probably doing it wrong but I'm not taking any chances.

I throw 67 at my highest, but I am younger than most of you guys, lol. otherwise I throw a cutter and a splitter along with a 4seamer.

The highest I've been clocked at is 68, I'm 14 though, and I have a cutter and a curveball, and I throw a 2-seam instead of 4-seam. I used to throw a nasty knuckleball, but its not good anymore for some reason, it has a bunch of spin now.
