"You would be amazed how many important outs you can get by working the count down to where the hitter is sure you're going to throw to his weakness, and then throw to his power instead"

About this Quote
In this quote, baseball legend Whitey Ford is sharing an important technique for success on the pitcher's mound. He discusses that by carefully managing the count, or the variety of balls and strikes, a pitcher can get a significant benefit over the batter. By tempting the hitter into believing they know what pitch is coming, the pitcher can then amaze them by throwing to their strength rather of their weakness. This technique can lead to vital outs and eventually lead to success for the pitcher's group. Ford's words highlight the importance of technique and deception in the video game of baseball, and how even the smallest details can make a big difference.
