◇ Yoza pitcher Comment
"I was obsessed with getting closer zero in the first inning, so I threw with the mindset of closer, even if it was a pitch count. After the second round, I think I was able to deal with it well by increasing my withdrawals. I feel good throwing and I'm doing what I want to do, so I'm going to make sure that I'm making adjustments for the rest of the season before the start of the season."
