Saturday, September 25, 2021, found me on a mound at the Padres training fields in Arizona.

The game started at 11 AM.  I can’t remember what team we played that day but everyone there were talented baseball players.  I think it’s true what they say that when you play against others who are good it “ups your game.”  I had one walk and struck everyone else out, and it wasn’t until the game was over and I saw the radar video that I discovered that I had pitched faster than I ever had before.  My fastball was resting about 85 and one pitch hit 87 mph!  Needless to say, I was psyched!  So glad that it was recorded on video with a Pocket Radar gun.
