Stereotyping In Baseball

Finally the time was here to play some Baseball. No one had seen how fast the pitcher pitched the ball because I was the only one at practice. Anyway I was the second one who was going up to bat but my team was in the field first so I kinda got some time to see how they play. But we had a really good pitcher so it was 1, 2, 3, strikes it was time for us to bat.

Everyone darts back to the dugout for the bottom of the seventh. I know I am the third hitter, so I get my helmet and gloves out of the cubby hole on the left side of the dugout. I grab my favorite green and black Easton bat. The first batter hits a solid double to get on. The next batter walks up to the plate, and I am on deck. I walk out just outside the dugout on a dirt rectangle that goes the length of the dugout. From this place I can really take in the whole stadium. The crowd behind home plate is all on their feet. All the players in both dugouts are screaming. The players in the field are focused as a lion while hunting its prey. The batter watches two pitches, then makes solid contact. I can tell because it makes the beautiful, TING, noise when the ball hits the sweet spot of the bat. He also gets a double, and the runner on second scores. Tie game with a runner on second, and I am up to bat. I stroll up to the plate looking down at my feet, feeling the pressure. I set up in the batter’s box, and stare down the pitcher. He nods. I am expecting a fastball, as the pitcher gets set. I am a little nervous, so I watch the first pitch zip by. I look out in the outfield, and see the outfielders playing very far up, so they can throw out the runner at home. The pitcher gets set again, and comes with another fastball. I see it coming the whole way. I twist my hips and drive the ball hard. I watch it sail, and the outfielders

And that ended in a strikeout. I banged the bat on the ground and then I walked into the dugout and soutdown. The our assistant coach talked to me and told me to relax see the ball and swing nicely. Then I got my glove and went to shortstop but that whole enning no balls came to me and the other team hit a homerun with a guy on second

I was nervous to go up to bat with runners on base and possibly be the leading run. But I didn't let anyone see that I was nervous. So I started smiling to show confidence. I went into the batter's box hoping to crush the ball like how I've always done. I looked at the first pitch. The

About mid-way through the season, we played the hardest team in the league. I just knew that this was the game for my very first over-the-fence homerun. During my first at-bat, I was so cocky that I ended up striking out on three straight pitches. I was so devastated because the feeling I previously had, just vanished. I was moping around all game until my next at-bat which was three innings later. I got up to bat, and I wasn't expecting much out of this at-bat. The count got down two and zero, and the pitcher threw a beautiful pitch so I swung. To my amazement, I actually connected the bat to the ball. I just knew that the ball was gone so I started jogging. I watched the ball all the way to the outfield. It was going, going, and not gone. It ended up actually hitting the top of the fence, and the center fielder actually catching the ball. That is when I knew that I wasn't going to hit an over-the-fence

My teammate runs over from first base to second, as I hear my name called out. I get out of the dugout, as I walk out my coach urgently talks to me. He yells at me: “Just focus. Focus only on the ball.” My heart beating, crowd watching, and my bat up high, I see the pitcher starting to take off. “My only option”, I say to myself. I see the ball coming right toward the middle. I take a swing, the ball tips my bat, as I stood there like it was about to end. I take one of my biggest decisions in my life, as the pitcher makes a fastball up high. All of the sudden, the fear goes away. I have confidence. All I hear is the sound that the bat makes when it hits the ball. The moment I open my eyes, I see the ball going high up into right field. The ball hits the ground, as my vision gets blurred by my tears.

A lot of kids get put in nerve racking situation the bottom of the third inning with one out and jason and mason on first and third.I was now up to bat I dug my feet deep into the batter's box nervous but also anxious I heard all my teammates cheering in the background saying let's go Tyse and let's go number 7.The pitcher is now in his windup and ready to deliver the first pitch the pitcher reared back and threw I got set and focused on the ball it was coming in fast and high so I let it go for ball one.I stepped out of the batter's box and took a practice swing and looked at coach for signs.I stepped back into the batter's box and dug my cleats into the dirt, I got set then focused on the pitcher as he started his windup.I got set and watched

The next day rolled around. Game day. I was too excited to eat anything at all. I got to the bus, and I sat by my pitcher. It felt like the bus ride took years. Once we got there, I warmed up my pitcher, my nerves eating me alive. My coach tells us that it’s time to start the game. I was so nervous, I was having second thoughts about catching the game. But, I did it anyways. I put my gear on, and went out to the field, greeting the umpire on the way out. I get in my catcher’s position, ready for the pitches

`This is all i’ve ever wanted, be starting pitcher in our championship game. Anxiety drops into my head and I get all scared. What if I lose this game for us? What if all this work I put in doesn't show? I try to clear my mind as I was warming up, SMACK 59 mph right down the inside middle

The score was seven to five, with two outs, a runner on second base, and third base. I was up to bat, with pressure on me to save the day. Having pressure put on me in a tough situation makes me feel like I have to do it. It makes me work harder. I stepped into that batters box with confidence. My facial expressions looked like I was mad at the world. I was determined to play in that championship. I watched the first pitch go by to see what kind of pitching I was facing. The next pitch I fouled back. With two strikes, I had no choice, but to hit the ball. The very next pitch was right down the middle, I saw it coming like I was about to hit a beach ball. I hit the ball over the right fielder's head. I was running as hard as I could. When I rounded second base headed for third, I saw the third basemen with the ball in her hand. I had no choice, but to get down and

We were losing 0-8, in the second set, when our team faced the hardest obstacle yet to come. I received a perfect pass from one of my players, I used that to give our best hitter, and captain, a perfect set. She went up, and got the kill we needed to turn the game around. In

In today’s world there are many problems, that individuals have to deal with, one of these many problems is stereotyping. Stereotyping is an exaggerated statement or portrayal of a group of people, which does cause people to view a race or person of the different sex differently, the remarks made may be very offensive to the group of people. When it comes to stereotyping between races, one race might even try to feel superior by putting another down, these portrayals and mis-conceptions may hurt others and cause a feeling of hatred towards one another. People are different and many have flaws but not everyone should be blamed for one thing. If one person of another race commits a crime then the whole race has committed that specific crime,

As I stood motionless, I heard the voice of the opposing coach, " I told you she wouldn't throw strikes." When I finally realized what had happened, my heart plummeted down to my gut and disbelief filled me. I had walked in the tying run, and now I had walked in the winning run. As I walked to the sideline, the depths of defeat engulfed me. At that point, I understood what the agony of defeat

When the umpires showed up that was when my nerves sat in. The butterflies that I were sure weren't going to show up in my stomach, did, and I began to pace around the dugout. When coach gave us the pre game speech I was completely lost in my own train of thought and the only thing I could think about was being on that mound. And then it started, we took the field and my preparation and season were on the line. I was
