Picture this – you’re 20 years old and standing on a pitching mound in front of almost 50,000 emotional people yelling your name. You’re one strike away from sending your team to the American League Championship Series for the first time in 22 years. This next pitch will mark the most pitches that you’ve thrown in a game all season. Make a mistake and the tense fans will throw their beer cans in your general direction.
