Fight For Every Pitch

Fight For Every Pitch Every pitch in baseball is a battle. Every contest between a pitcher and a batter is a skirmish that bears on who will win the game. Although baseball is a team sport, each individual must fulfill their role for the team to win. If a batter gets lazy, he may miss the pitch that he could launch for a game-winning home run. If an infielder makes a throwing error, he may be throwing away the game. The closest parallel to business is the battle between the pitcher and batter. The pitcher must fight for every pitch, and the batter must contend with every pitch. If either let up for just one pitch, the end result of the game could be in jeopardy. The pitcher must know the batter well enough to decide which pitch to throw. Every pitch is crucial. If the pitcher throws too many balls and falls behind in the count, it becomes a hitter
