Okay, so, I saw this thing online about Edwin Diaz, the baseball player, and people were saying he was cheating. I got curious and decided to look into it myself. Here’s what I did and what I found out.
Digging into the Edwin Diaz Story
First, I started by watching some videos of Diaz pitching. I noticed that he always touches his mouth and then his hat before he pitches. Some folks online were saying that this was suspicious and that he might be using some sticky stuff to get a better grip on the ball. I thought it would be a good idea to make a video about it, so I grabbed my camera and started recording.
My Little Experiment
I decided to try out a little experiment. I got a baseball and tried pitching it a few times normally. Then, I put some sticky stuff on my fingers, like some people suggested Diaz might be doing, and pitched again. I wanted to see if it made any difference in how the ball moved. I filmed myself doing all this, so I could show everyone what happened.
Analyzing the Results
- I compared the way the ball moved when I used sticky stuff versus when I didn’t.
- I also looked at videos of Diaz pitching really closely, paying attention to how the ball moved after he threw it.
- I talked about all this in my video, explaining what I did and what I saw.
Sharing My Findings
After I finished my experiment and analyzed everything, I uploaded my video. I shared my thoughts on whether I thought Diaz was cheating or not, based on what I found. I made sure to say that this was just my opinion and that I’m not an expert or anything. I just wanted to share my process and what I learned from trying it out myself.
Wrapping Up
It was a fun little project. I learned a bit about how pitchers might try to cheat, and it was interesting to see if using sticky stuff actually made a difference. I’m not saying Diaz is definitely cheating, but it’s definitely something to think about. I enjoyed sharing my experiment with everyone, and I hope they found it interesting too.
