I was a pitcher, and was the first in my age group to throw a breaking ball around 5th grade. I was unhittable. Unfortunately, that was the pinnacle of my career. I played into high school, but never varsity. Once the hitters can hit a breaking ball, you need more than a 78 mph fastball to get by!
Still, quitting baseball is one of my main regrets. I could have ridden the varsity bench, but chose not to. Oh well.
