We just kind of relied on written scouting reports through the eighties and even the early nineties. I've really been amazed by some of the data that's out there, especially with regards to tendencies of hitters, and certainly tendencies of pitchers as well.

I love being out there on the mound with the ball in my hand. I can control the game. I'm out there. No clock - nothing happens until I throw that thing. Nothing happens. I love that feeling. David Cone ballclockcontrol Change image and share on social
Today baseball is currently enjoying a run of more than 14 years without interruption, a record that would have been inconceivable in the 1990s. David Cone 1990sbaseballenjoy Change image and share on social

It really gets into your system. All baseball players have this internal clock around February when it starts to kick in and the juices start to flow. I think underestimated how much I was going to miss it. David Cone baseballclockfebruary share on social
