The world sees the strikeout under the Friday night lights. 🏟️
They don't see the thousands of pitches into a net while the neighbors are eating dinner.
They don't see the ice packs, the sore lats, or the car rides spent dissecting a 'bad' inning.
Pitching is a labor of love that starts in the dirt and ends in the soul.
It takes a different kind of kid to stand on that rubber and say, 'Give me the ball.' 🧢
It takes heart to fail in front of everyone and still show up for the next bullpen.
To every pitcher (and the parents catching for them):
The grind is making you unbreakable.
Don’t stop now.
Greatness is built in the shadows. 🌑⚾️
