HOF 2000
I had to figure Johnson out. I realized quickly that he wasn't a vicious pitcher, despite all that speed. I saw him wince when he fired one close to somebody's head, and he used to tell me that he was afraid someday that he would kill a man with that fireball. So I used to cheat. I'd crowd that plate so far that I was actually sticking my toes on it when I was facing Johnson. I knew he was timid about hitting a batter, and when he saw me crowding the plate he'd steer his pitches a little bit wide. Then with two balls and no strikes, he'd ease up a bit to get it over. That's the Johnson pitch I hit. I was depending on him to be scared of hitting me.

Larry Parrish

He kind of lulls a hitter to sleep because his mechanics are smooth, not jerky. You time a pitcher on his windup, and so when he does it nice and slow, the batter goes nice and slow, and then the ball is suddenly there.
