Andy Neary pitched professionally at 5'6
This is my chance to grab the attention, right? To prove I belong. So I start warming up, and as I start warming up, the crowd starts chanting. Little by little, the chanting gets louder, and after my fourth warm-up pitch, I can hear what they're chanting: "How can you pitch when you're 5'6"? "How can you pitch when you're 5'6"? And in that moment, that 18-foot diameter of the pitcher's mound, which had been my safe haven for years, became my mental prison. Because standing on that mound in front of 5,000 people, I became that chubby kid again. Here I was, a free agent in pro baseball. I wasn't a high draft pick. I didn't throw 95 miles an hour. I don't fit in. Those fears of judgment, comparison, and failure all came back.
