Barry Bonds reveals why Greg Maddux was the toughest pitcher he faced during his career
"The best, I think, technician pitcher was Greg Maddux. Maddux was the best technician."
"Greg Maddux knew the philosophy of hitting at the same time I understood philosophy of pitching. And Greg used it very well to his advantage."
"Power pitchers are power pitchers, they're going to go to what they go to no matter what, and that's power. And eventually, that's going to catch them, because you don't have to do much, they generate the power so the ball goes further."
"It's those finesse technicians that you that really can break things break you down if you're not smart."

Harold Reynolds says Barry Bonds could read a pitcher’s grip before the ball was thrown and tell what pitch was coming from the on-deck circle
“He was in a class with guys like Roberto Alomar and Rod Carew, guys I had heard about and been around, who could read pitch grips better than anybody. Barry was on that level.”
“Rod Carew was my hitting coach in Anaheim when I played for the Angels. He’d walk up and down the dugout and say, ‘You guys don’t see it. I see what y’all don’t see.’ The pitcher would be sitting there, and Rod would say, ‘Changeup.’ Next thing you know, the guy throws a changeup. I’m like, ‘He hasn’t even moved yet, Rod.’ And he’d say, ‘You guys don’t see it.’”
“Barry was on that level. So as a pitcher, you’re facing a guy who is probably picking up every pitch you’re throwing.”
Jake Peavy: “Barry Bonds would be in the on-deck circle against me, and he’d just be leaning there. No swing, no nothing. Just watching. Sitting there, waiting. I’m thinking, ‘Let me show him something different.’ I’m telling you, he would get off that ledge, and if you threw him a strike, it was going deep.”

Gary Sheffield and Albert Pujols join Harold to talk about the contact-heavy style of play on display in the #WorldSeries:
"Nothing can happen when you're swinging and missing."

You can only have what you can hold. If you haven’t prepared yourself then it will just slip through 🙏🌏💫❤️
Nailed it Joe!!

@MaddHalos believes the game nowadays would rather lose analytically than win based on feel.

Baseball is still pitching, defense and timely hitting. That still is the formula for winning. Funny how people are realizing that this still works. You can’t change the principles of the game.
Timing is a brain function and cannot be taught, but must be discovered! The last thing coaches tend to look at in this situation is vision! Is he seeing the ball out of the hand consistently? Our 🧠 predicts/ calculates info at release. Vision is critical & seldom worked on
This is the kind of kid you want on your team!!

Asher Johnson (‘27 CA) had himself a day at the plate going 3-3 including this RBI triple to CF. Good direction w/ the lower half & can manipulate the barrel well. #WWBAWorlds @California_PG @PG_Uncommitted
