Anthony Bass - A Diary

I have been fortunate to meet Anthony Bass and have some discussions with him. He graciously agreed to do a diary for PadresRunDown. Thanks, Anthony for doing this for us!

Without further ado…

May 17th vs. South Bend

Positives: 2-Seam Fastball was working well for the 1st time I tried it. 1 Walk, 2 hits (soft), 4 Strikeouts. I felt confident in all 4 of my pitches today (4-seam, 2-seam, Slider, Changeup). I had success throwing offspeed strike one and 2-seam fastball's inside.

Things to work on next Bullpen: Chanegup for a strike and fastball command down inside/outside.
