After watching 12-year-olds throw filthy movement pitches at the Little League World Series last summer, my new year's resolution will be to add another pitch to my repertoire by the time my league starts up in April--and hopefully lower my ERA below double digits.

Currently I possess a not-so-fast fastball and a pitch that can only be described as a "curveball that doesn't curve." It's my hope that this third pitch-- an out pitch if you will-- might provide a little deception and prevent batters from calling their shot as they point toward the Shell gas station that serves as our left field boundary.
