You can make a lot of cases that you can take the win stat out of the game and you can still figure out who the good pitchers are, and I agree with that to some extent. But there's something about your win-loss record, there's something about having wins by your name that means something. Regardless of how important that is.

Clayton Kershaw

There are some great pitchers in this league. You're going to get fooled sometimes. They're going to get you.

Aaron Judge

Pitchers made an adjustment to me. It's up to me to come up with an answer.

Aaron Judge

Preparation is very important. The pitcher is going to do his job and prepare for you, so you as a hitter must do the same. I always watch videotape of pitchers before the game and even sometimes during.

Albert Pujols

I think the biggest adjustment I've made before coming here was going from High A to Double A. I was going in facing pitchers who had more experience and knew how to throw all their stuff for strikes and in hitter's counts, things like that.

Andrew Benintendi

I think once I see everybody and go through every team and their pitchers, I'll get an idea of what they like to do. And they'll see what I like to do and swing at. I think there's always something you've got to adjust to.

Andrew Benintendi

In high school, baseball was life. My senior year, I had the highest batting average on the team. I was one of the starting pitchers. I wanted to play Division III ball and eventually coach.

Anthony Ramos

I try to do my best every game to help the pitchers and help my team win. That's it.

Asdrubal Cabrera

Most of the managers are lifetime .220 hitters. For years pitchers have been getting these managers out 75% of the time and that's why they don't like us.

Bill Lee

You throw batting practice, you warm up pitchers, you sit and cheer. You do whatever you have to do to stay on the team.

Bob Uecker

It just tickles me still when you see Roger Clemens, as great as he is, throw a split-finger and the hitter just swings and misses. They don't see that ball that well. Jack Morris threw an awful good one and Mike Scott. There's a lot of great pitchers over the years that I think that pitch definitely helped their career.

Bruce Sutter

Pitchers are going to break. You can limit their pitches and limit their innings, and they're still going to blow out. Pitching is hard on the arm.

Bruce Sutter

Young pitchers don't throw enough in the minor leagues, and when they get to the majors, they don't have the stamina; their arms haven't been built up.

Bruce Sutter

I had some great pitchers while in St. Louis. At first, they only 'pitched' the ball fifty feet. They had an allowance of six bases on balls, which was neutralized to some extent by four strikes. Later on, the 'throw' became a free-for-all, overhand, or any style the pitcher chose.

Charles Comiskey

Learn the league, learn the pitchers, learn how they're going to go after you.

Christian Yelich

I watch all the pitchers I admire. I love watching Cliff Lee. It looks easy for him when he's on the mound; he's almost like an artist. He knows exactly how to get guys out.

Clayton Kershaw

You can make a lot of cases that you can take the win stat out of the game and you can still figure out who the good pitchers are, and I agree with that to some extent. But there's something about your win-loss record, there's something about having wins by your name that means something. Regardless of how important that is.

Clayton Kershaw

I hate when pitchers get me out multiple times. It's probably an ego thing, but I don't like that.

Cody Bellinger

All the in-depth scouting reports we have on the opposing pitchers - just kind of learning how to study that, it's huge.

Cody Bellinger

You could ask any position player and they'll tell you: pitchers aren't athletes.

Curt Schilling

Left-handed pitchers get paid a lot of money to get left-handed guys out or else they wouldn't be in there. They feel confident going up against lefties. If you look at most lefties' numbers, typically they happen to be better against lefties than against righties. That's all it is.
