  1. Hunt the middle

    Your best pitch is a strike. Get zone 5 — the middle of that nine-box — before you get cute.

  2. One cue

    Don't stack five thoughts. One thing you can actually remember on the mound.

  3. Finish to the plate

    Get out over the front side. The ball tends to follow you.

  4. If you're spraying

    Slow it down. Easy catch, then you earn the juice. Strikes first.
