Episode Notes

The 7th Inning stretch of Game 3 where we sit down with former 9 year MLB pitcher Nelson Figueroa. Besides catching up with my old teammate, this episode was centered around how to get hitters out. Figgy pitched for almost 20 years professionally by throwing strikes and changing speeds. He didnt throw 95 or 100, but he spotted every pitch to keep hitters guessing. He goes into detail on how he used to play mind games with hitters as well as a story about breaking Gary Sheffield's bat multiple times on inside FBs (when the report was to never come inside on him). One of my favorite dudes to catch and this episode felt like we were sitting in a hotel room somewhere in the PCL. Enjoy!
