There's a little sense of urgency coming towards the end of the season, with everything up in the air contract-wise, ... I think with the importance of every start going in, trying to be a little more focused, I've picked up on a few things that can be helpful.
"Mark Allan Hendrickson" is an American baseball pitcher in the Baltimore Orioles organization. Hendrickson is also a former professional basketball player who played as Power forward (basketball)/power forward in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and Continental Basketball Association (CBA) for four years before becoming a full-time baseball player. He is one of just 12 athletes to play in both MLB and the NBA.
Hendrickson is notable for his size, at 6' 9". The only players in Major League Baseball as of 2010 who are taller than Hendrickson are Jon Rauch, at 6'11", and Chris Young (baseball starting pitcher)/Chris Young, at 6'10". Hendrickson is a groundball pitcher, with a fastball in the high 80s and a decent 12–6 curveball. Hendrickson also has a 10–4 slider, but his slider only reaches the high 70s to low 80s. Thus, when Hendrickson has success, it is due to control, movement, and location and not power.

We have a young team and a lot to prove. It's a good test for us to play the best teams in the American League.
I thought I pitched better than my stat line is going to show, ... We all did what we had to do to win the game. This is a good experience for our team, for a team that hasn't been to the postseason, playing teams that are playing like it's the playoffs.
Knowing what they can do, I was just trying to stay focused and make good pitches.
We need to do what we can to spoil people's October plans.
The bullpen did a good job, came in and settled things down. And we came away with another good victory.
That was more the team I'm used to facing. They weren't as aggressive tonight. That's what they normally do. They try to get your pitch count up quickly then get into your bullpen.
Probably the hardest five innings I've ever pitched. That was probably more the team that I'm used to facing.
