Quotes by Terry McDermott (?)

“Bob Uecker, the former catcher and longtime broadcaster, said the best way to catch a knuckleball was “wait’ll it stops rolling, then go to the backstop and pick it up.”
― Terry McDermott, Off Speed: Baseball, Pitching, and the Art of Deception

“Typically, coaches—pitching coaches for pitchers and catchers, hitting coaches for hitters—meet with players before the start of every series to discuss which of their opponent’s players has been doing what lately. They also meet before each game with that day’s relevant players. By and large, many contemporary players ignore much of what they’re told.”
― Terry McDermott, Off Speed: Baseball, Pitching, and the Art of Deception
