英文小作文：

My Favorite Pitcher

I love watching baseball, especially when a great pitcher throws a variety of fastballs, curves, and changeups. My favorite pitcher is my childhood hero, who always manages to confuse the opposition with his knuckleball. He throws a fastball that seems to speed up and slow down at will, and his curveball is so deceptive that it bends in ways that seem impossible. He also has a changeup that he uses to keep hitters off-balance.

When I watch him on the mound, I feel like I am watching a master at work. His pitching motion may seem simple, but it is truly an art form. His knuckleball is a weapon that he uses to keep opponents guessing, while his other pitches allow him to be more precise when needed. I admire his ability to adapt and use different pitches to his advantage, no matter what the situation is.

I hope to be able to watch him play for many years to come, and I hope to learn from him as I grow as a pitcher myself. His passion for the game and his commitment to excellence inspire me every time I watch him on the mound. He is my inspiration, my motivation, and my favorite pitcher.
