That kid sure works slow. He’s in A-Ball, so somebody should tell him right this instant to speed it up on the hill. Nothing is worse than pitchers that take forever between pitches.

Hey - whatever keeps hitters off balance
Steve Trachsel used his ridiculous amount of time between pitches to his advantage.

After doing some
timing myself, the average MLB pitcher takes about 15-20 seconds to throw a pitch once he has the ball. This whole video is 1:16 seconds and he threw 4 pitches, two of which were fouled off making more time for the umpire to give him the ball. I think his time was fine.
