Question
Mr. Ansley, I am 15 I pitch for my highschool, but i throw sidearm and allways have. I have a great slider, I had 14ks one game frome mainly that one pitch, but i want to learn more. Are the any other good pitches for a sidearm. And also my dream is to play college ball for LSU. Im getting my grades up to try to walk on but how do i get noticed thnks..

Answer
I would say you need to know how to run the ball in on right handers. Learn how to throw a sinker. It is good you are getting your grades up now concentrate also on developing arm strength. If you can throw mid 80s to low 90s someone will take a look at you. Also video tape yourself in games and send dvds to different schools.
