No pitching mound is exactly the same — not if you ask pitchers. We spoke to 12 veteran arms and asked them for their three favorite mounds. 'Tampa? It’s an absolute mountain.'
remembered a situation in Atlanta where a few pitchers complained about the mound, and the crew went to work and fixed it. It’s not super likely that a groundskeeping team would risk rebuke from MLB by intentionally having the mound be different.
“Coming to Boston … I always felt that this mound was a little bit flat, but now that I’ve thrown off it a number of times, I don’t feel any difference between it and somewhere else,” the lefty said. “I think our bodies are just so fine-tuned that we notice just the tiniest little differences, and once you do it a few times, you kind of lose that feel for how different it is.”
“I want to feel on top,” said Jansen, who rated Boston as one of the top mounds . “When it’s steep, you feel like you’re on top. I hate mounds that are flat. You want to feel the slope. That’s when you’re much more in control. Command and everything is good.”
