For one inning, Pavin Smith travels the path not taken
“Basically [Lovullo] just said go out there and throw strikes,” Smith said. “And when I wasn’t throwing strikes, I was like, ‘I better pick out something.’ So I just threw a little bit harder and was able to find the zone. I know what these pitchers go through now. I mean, the plate looks really small from 60 feet away. It looks big from the batter’s box.”
