No one would want to stand in the batters box with a brute on the mound, but if that hitter is bigger than the pitcher then he feels right at home. That has been a misconception about baseball for years. Ever since my childhood and baseball was being played, the kids hated hitting against a big pitcher. In little league kids are scared to death of the pitcher if hes big, but put a little guy on the mound and the kids love to hit. DOES THIS mean that the big pitchers are better. I have several examples that say differently. Look at some of the local high schools for example. Viewmont has a reputation for producing good pitchers like Dave Downs and Dave Nelson, both large in stature, yet the Vikes have also produced Jim Tillotson and Mark Lalli who are nowhere near as big. this doesnt say that big pitchers are better, or that little pitchers are better. To me this says that good pitchers come in all sizes. This year on the Viewmont Legion team is a perfect combination of the two, and Coach Lee Lalli uses it beautifully. Usually the big pitcher, Court Wilkins, will start the game and overpower the hitters. Then the little guy, Mark Lalli, comes in and totally confuses the hitters with his array of pitches. tinIiHHuui'hLlhllsl(in JiniIiViiare)Vi rf Ki il- -1 I , 'iVr-l-l BOTH COMPLEMENT each other's style, the hitters at Courts size and a little fear comes over them. They seem to lose that fear with Mark on the mound but the results are almost the same. The good baseball players realize that the size of the pitchers doesnt matter really, but that the good pitchers come in all sizes. The others seem to think they would have an easier time hitting the little guy. look PART of the problem is that the bigger pitcher appears to be throwing the ball harder. People think the larger the person the harder they can throw. Mark Lalli and Jim Tillotson are both smaller than I am and can both throw the ball twice as hard so that theory doesnt hold much water around here. In a way the smaller pitcher has to be smarter. He realizes what people think about and try that much harder. MAYBE 1IIH-.- R: fct 11 as the big versus little issue is concerned, the best way to sum it up is with the old cliche.
