Quotable
7:58 – (On how to enforce pitch counts & innings pitched) “If you have a good coach, somebody who’s been around the game and understands how to take care of players, they understand pitch counts and they understand what guys look like when they get tired.” – Munson
11:36 – “If you take the slope out of pitching, your mechanics can be so much better because there is not that tilt” – Munson

28:38 – “Don’t get offended coaches – don’t try and make everybody the same. It drives me absolutely crazy when I see a coach or program make everybody hit the same.” – Munson
30:38 – “I love watching a kid go from entitled, to hungry.” – Munson
