Matt Manning, who thinks he fixed his curveball, reflected on his development with #Tigers as a prospect:
Manning: "The communication back then was like, 'If you want to get to the next level, pitch well.' Pitching well was having a low ERA. So I was like, 'Why would I throw anything else until I know they can beat my fastball?' I would throw that 70 times in a game." "I wish in the minor leagues they would have told me more. Just like, 'Go out and throw 50% curveballs. We don't care what happens, but you got to work on your curveball.' “Instead, I knew I could beat the minor leagues with my fastball, so that's all I did. Once I got to Triple-A and the big leagues, I couldn't just throw the fastball. I had to work on things. I felt behind in that sense. But I'm learning and getting better"
wonder why we couldnt develop good players
