Talk:Pitcher

message: What are the different stages of the pitch called (like in the 4-part picture at the top of the article)?  I know that the beginning is the wind-up, but are there other names for the other parts of the routine?  --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:08, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)
:I don't know that there are specific names, but carrying on from your label for the first one ("the wind-up"), I might say that the next three stages could be referred to as "the delivery" (referring to the forward motion of the arm), "the release" (strictly speaking, when the ball leaves the hand), and "the follow-through" (the continuation after the ball is gone). HTH.

::As a pitcher myself, I can answer this:
::1. Apex of leg-kick.
::2. Landing position
::3. Rotation/release
::4. Follow-through
::This is not the complete wind-up, there is also the ready position (before 1), the rocker-step (also before 1), and the stride (before 2).
::I have actually been kicking around the idea of expanding this article to go into much more depth about the act of pitching itself. Does anyone else agree/disagree with this idea before I begin? -- Ubergenius 14:49, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Stages 

message: There are a huge number of articles linked to Pitcher, which is currently a disambiguation page; I couldn't find any linking to the page for the container, as they are virtually all for the baseball position. The number of articles linking to Pitching is much lower. I would propose shifting the article to Pitcher, with a note directing to the article for the container. I suppose making Pitcher into a redirect rather than a disambig would be another option, but I think it's less preferable. MisfitToys 22:46, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lists of players

message: Anyone who ever has watched at least three baseball games--on any level of play--cannot seriously question the accuracy of this article (which I have had no part in writing or editing).  It's well-written, encyclopedic, and descriptive.  Perhaps the "needs sources" tag was put up by someone whose favorite pitcher was left out of a list, or by someone who saw a disliked pitcher listed.  Either way, it's inappropriate.  At a certain level, all articles require some original writing, and this one is done well.
If you feel the tag is appropriate, please explain why, and please do so within a week.  Otherwise, on 10/8, I'm going to try to remove the tag.  Please note that I'm open-minded--if there's something I missed, I'm certainly willing to reconsider my position.  But it's a well-written article that accurately describes its subject.

thread_title:  This article needs sources?! 

message: "Passes"? That implies that pitcher and batter are on the same team, like a pass between team members in football (soccer) or rugby. Wouldn't something like "throws" be better? – ukexpat (talk) 16:09, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Picture 

message: In MLB, is a pitcher allowed to pitch as many days of the year as his team elects him to do so or must they rest each and every pitcher a given number of days?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jefferson61345 (talk • contribs) 06:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: Not everyone likes baseball, and it isn't a sport played all over the world... Most people on Earth use the word "pitcher" for a pitcher that contains a drink. The word should direct to the page for that, not a baseball page. You people are too obsessed when logic goes out the window, and you start thinking the world evolves around baseball. You're being offensive, by being inconsiderate to 99% of the Earth, and 99% of your country/ies. Could someone please correct this to searches either going to pitchers (not the baseball term, but actual pitchers, which hold fluid)? (No. Most people in countries where baseball is a thing do not have many actually liking baseball. Not even 50% of such a country is a fan, I promise you. (Yes, I am an American. And, no, most of us don't like baseball. But, most of us do use pitchers for drinks.)) --174.19.181.117 (talk) 06:51, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

message: Power pitchers and Control pitchers? I don't know if that is even a thing, but if it is  it should be included. There are also closers. Is there something that defines them? Like all out style (not able to control stamina usage) 213.149.61.120 (talk) 19:12, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
