On the Mound with George Kirby: A Chat with Felix Hernandez

George Kirby: Hey King Felix! Man, it’s an honor to sit down with you. Growing up in the Seattle area, watching you pitch was like watching poetry in motion. Got any magic tips for a youngster like me?

Felix Hernandez: George! It’s great to see the Mariners’ future in good hands. Ah, the magic—you mean my change-up? The biggest tip I can give you is trust your stuff, believe in your pitches. How about you? How do you keep calm under pressure?

George Kirby: It’s all about routine for me. I have this thing where I always step on the foul line with my right foot. Keeps me grounded, I guess! But Felix, seriously, your presence on the mound was something else. How did you cultivate that aura?

Felix Hernandez: Confidence, my friend. Confidence and swagger. But also humility. Your team has to trust you, and you have to trust yourself. It’s a balance. What about you? How’s it been transitioning from the minors to facing big-league hitters?

George Kirby: Intense, to say the least! The margin for error is so slim. I mean, you miss by an inch and someone like Mike Trout will take you deep. I’ve been working on my command and mixing speeds. How did you adjust as the league started knowing you better?

Felix Hernandez: Constant adaptation, George. The game is always evolving. I studied hitters endlessly—watched tons of film. Also, developing secondary pitches is key. I see you’ve got a wicked slider. Any plans to add to your arsenal?

George Kirby: Thinking about sharpening my change-up to keep hitters off balance. It’s a work in progress, though. Speaking of which, your change-up was lights out! How did you develop it to be so effective?

Felix Hernandez: Hours and hours of practice, my friend. Grip, release point, and most importantly, selling it to look just like my fastball. Deception is everything. One piece of advice: practice makes permanent, not perfect. Make sure you’re practicing the right way.

George Kirby: Wise words, King Felix. I’ll be taking that to heart. Any final nuggets of wisdom for someone aiming to contribute to a winning season in Seattle?

Felix Hernandez: Enjoy the ride, George. Baseball’s a game of ups and downs. Celebrate the highs, learn from the lows, and always play with passion. Seattle’s got a bright future with you on the mound. Go make them proud!

George Kirby: Thanks, Felix. I’ll do my best to carry the torch. Go Mariners!
