After reading “The Pitcher” by Robert Francis, consider how the poem itself works the way a good pitcher does. Which lines illustrate what they describe?
Answer
Robert Francis’ “The Pitcher” delivers to the reader just as a major league pitcher delivers to the batter. Francis uses fine description to force the reader to visualize the actions of a pitcher and reflect on his or her motivation and purpose. “The Pitcher” dives deep into the mind of a baseball pitcher and how it varies from any other position player.
Francis focuses heavily on the deceptive nature that a pitcher must play with. He describes in depth the mental battle of anticipation and reaction that goes on between a pitcher and a batter. “His passion how to avoid the obvious, His technique how to vary the avoidance.” (Francis 648). This line goes in depth concerning the pitch selection versus pitch anticipation that a pitcher and batter go through.
Francis goes on to highlight how a pitcher’s mission and mindset varies from every other player on the field as his or her actions are meant to be misunderstood instead of properly anticipated. “The others throw to be comprehended. He throws to be a moment misunderstood.” (Francis 648). This line invokes an image of a shortstop throwing a runner out at first base where both thrower and receiver need to be on the same page as opposed to a batter guessing fastball when the pitcher is throwing curve.
Francis’ description of the battle that occurs between pitcher and batter at every throw is very deep. The description has tones of Sun Tzu’s The Art of War in its deep dive into the deceptive nature of a successful pitcher. It does well to contrast pitcher from position player. The descriptive nature of this poem invokes strong visualization in the reader.

Personal anecdotes, “mini-memoirs,” are very brief stories about a personal experience or incident that can serve a variety of purposes. For example, anecdotes, frequently used in introductions, can attract your reader’s attention, add a personal touch, make your reader ponder a topic more, provide a lesson, set the stage for the rest of the writing, etc. Essentially, personal anecdotes can establish your credibility (ethos), engage your audience emotionally (pathos), and provide an example to support a point (logos).
Share a personal anecdote about yourself with your classmates about a lesson learned, your personal credo, a memorable day, an embarrassing moment, or a funny incident. Since anecdotes should be brief, keep your anecdote to no more than 350 words. Use active verbs (i.e., raced, dabbled, screeched, stumbled, ranted, laughed, etc.) instead of passive verbs (i.e., was laughing, were singing, became, seemed to be, etc.).

Metropolitan Ministries is a nonprofit organization that covers six different counties including and surrounding the greater Tampa Bay area. They pride themselves on offering a variety of services for at-risk and homeless families in underserved and impoverished communities. The stakeholders of this organization should be paying attention to any political, social, and economic trends in Florida and throughout the United States. Changes in politics and in the economy can have a huge impact on the organization and that why it is essential that they are acting proactively to situations like this, instead of reactively. Monitoring social trends is crucial because social innovation and social enterprise can help to attract public and private funders throughout the US and the world (Smith & Phillips, 2016). Additionally, it is important that they are keeping track of changes within the community and its ever-changing diversity. Metropolitan Ministries has another project within its organization called the NeighborHope Project which focuses on transforming high-need communities. This project consists of a community council of individuals who share resources, information, and opportunities for improving and enhancing the communities. This is incredibly important because it helps the organization to address immediate needs and provide future opportunities for economic mobility.
