Since baseball is currently all my life right now, I decided to market myself as a pitcher for baseball. My market plan will consist of how I am currently doing as a pitcher, my plan for the future, and what steps will need to be taken to achieve all these. I will also describe myself as a pitcher and what the other pitchers on my team do best and how I fit into the pitching rotation. The first step of my marketing plan is to evaluate my current situation and my environment. Right now I play for a summer travel ball team called Foundation Sports. Since I was still young enough to be eligible to play summer ball, I decided to play for one more summer for the 18 and under team.

I also could need some more work on my knuckleball. While I can be very effective, but sometimes it does not work 100% of the time I want it to. I have hit some batters because of it. However, when there are weakness then that means there are opportunities for me to work with. I always have pitching coaches tell me that I have the potential of throwing harder. It is just a matter of working at my mechanics for it. I also can work more on making my knuckleball work more for me so I can use it more because lately I have not been able to use it. There are also some threats I face as a pitcher. One threat that faces all pitchers is an arm injury. An arm injury can really hurt a pitcher and even forever change how they pitch. The scariest
