pitcher

Baseball comes back to life every year on the back fields, during those peaceful mornings between the time pitchers and catchers report and the time exhibition games begin.

"Kumbh" refers to the pitcher or pot that contained the nectar of immortality in Hindu mythology, while "Mela" means a fair or gathering.

That pitchers, even young ones, are breaking down more often than ever before.

“We saw a need and decided to act,” said Jonathan Fried, the father of New York Yankees pitcher Max Fried, a Harvard-Westlake graduate who was taking photos and signing autographs.

With all the recent signings of pitchers these last few weeks, it appears that the IL list will be longer than the active roster.
