Wolters' other dream profession: Rock star
Rockies catcher Tony Wolters talks about the pitcher that throws the hardest on his team and hurts his hand to catchIt's not just small talk with umpires. Wolters uses conversation to see how he can give the umpire a better chance at seeing that a borderline pitch is a strike.
"We kind of go back-and-forth with pitches, like, 'What did you think about that one?' Where did you have that one?' He'll tell me things like, 'Hey, I couldn't see that pitch.' Just little comments here and there, but for the most part we're back there doing our jobs, and we want to do the best for our jobs."
