A guy that throws what he intends to throw, that's the definition of a good pitcher.
Sandy Koufax

A manager uses a relief pitcher like a six shooter, he fires until it's empty then takes the gun and throws it at the villain.
Dan Quisenberry

A pitcher has to look at the hitter as his mortal enemy.
Early Wynn

A pitcher is not a ballplayer.
Christy Mathewson

A pitcher is only as good as his legs.
Early Wynn

A pitcher needs two pitches, one they're looking for and one to cross them up.
Warren Spahn

A pitcher will never be a big winner until he hates hitters.
Early Wynn

A pitcher's got to be good and he's got to be lucky to get a no hit game.
Cy Young

A torn rotator cuff is a cancer for a pitcher and if a pitcher gets a badly torn one, he has to face the facts, it's all over baby.
Don Drysdale

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.
Mickey Mantle

And then when I went to stay in '68, I can honestly say that I was not focused on my career and on what it took to be a major league pitcher and to be a starting pitcher.
Nolan Ryan

Any pitcher who might throw at me should know I'm not giving up my day job or trying to get anyone else's job. I just can't think of anything cooler than being one of the boys of summer!
Garth Brooks

Any pitcher who throws at a batter and deliberately tries to hit him is a communist.
Alvin Dark

Anybody who's ever had the privilege of seeing me play knows that I am the greatest pitcher in the world.
Dizzy Dean

As soon as I got out there I felt a strange relationship with the pitcher's mound. It was as if I'd been born out there. Pitching just felt like the most natural thing in the world. Striking out batters was easy.
Babe Ruth

But because I could throw so hard when I got to college they made me a pitcher.
Shemar Moore

During my time, there might have been one pitcher or two that were top pitchers on a team. Teams that won maybe had three, but today they have a lot of depth. They have a lot of long relievers, short relievers, and the strategy is different.
Ernie Banks

Every great batter works on the theory that the pitcher is more afraid of him than he is of the pitcher.
Ty Cobb

Every pitcher can beat you, it doesn't matter how good you are.
Barry Bonds

Fix your eye on the ball from the moment the pitcher holds it in his glove. Follow it as he throws to the plate and stay with it until the play is completed. Action takes place only where the ball goes.
