Blade Tidwell, a promising right-handed pitcher for the Mets, realized that simplifying his approach significantly improved his performance. Last season at Triple-A Syracuse, Tidwell struggled initially with a high ERA of 5.93 but found success by narrowing down the variety of pitches he used. By the end of the season, he noticed better results, as he allowed two earned runs or fewer in five of his last seven starts. Tidwell is now focused on maintaining this momentum into the current season.
By narrowing my pitches and focusing on fewer things, I improved my performance significantly towards the end of last season, which I'm looking to carry forward.
I was working on too many techniques at once last season; reducing my pitches from nine to five helped me concentrate and enhance my competitive edge.
