Getting To Know Ross Grimsley
Former Orioles Pitcher Ross Grimsley, joined Scott and Jeremy to give the listeners some insight on what he will bring to Baltimore Baseball Tonight in the 2015 season. Ross retired from Major League Baseball in 1980 and was an all-star left handed pitcher for several teams. Grimsley has spent the 16 years with the San Francisco Giants as a pitching coach with their Double A affiliate the Richmond Flying Squirrels. Ross talked about what he passed on to the young Giants staff. "All I try to do over the last 30 plus years I've coached was just to pass on some of the things that have been fortunate enough to have taught to me"
Being apart of a successful organization a lot of the teams overall success comes from developing players in the low level of the minors. Ross shared some of the advice he had passed along to Giants aces Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain and Madison Baumgarner. "We had always told pitchers, quick defense is better. Get the ball, throw the pitch, get the ball. Work quick, hit spots, and change speeds. If you do those things consistently, you'll be successful"
