Amateur baseball two-way pitcher/shortstop, car enthusiast, technology whizz, Inkitt author, Die-hard Arizona Diamondbacks fan. Currently, in Kajukenbo, I rank as an orange belt prepping for the purple test. Drafted into new sport, American Cricket, with the UnSACA I play returner, akin to a catcher in baseball.

My Strategy for reviewing a question/answer before downvoting it:
- Read it over one more time, maybe I'm the one who's wrong.
- Research the answer myself, see what I come up with. If it checks out, leave it as is.
- Ask myself: Is it really worth downvoting? If a question gets a score of say, -10, and is not or cannot be deleted, it can stick around as a stain on a user's profile for a looooong time.
- I just straight up don't vote on anything with a score of -5 or lower. The point has been made already, no reason to downvote it more.
- The only exception to the rule above is if the post is blatant spam/ad, or if it's rude, offensive, deliberately insulting, etc. Then, after a downvote, I flag it.

Current pitching arsenal:
When throwing almost sidewinder
- Cutter
- 4-seam fastball
- Circle Changeup
- knuckle-curve (mine's an absolute hammer!)
When throwing Overhand:
All of the above... plus:
- Splitter
- Knuckleball
- 12-6 curve
I throw almost sidewinder with the bases clear. With runners on base, I throw overhand to reduce delivery time in case of a steal. What I mean by almost sidewinder is sort of a less exaggerated Ryan Thompson.
