Scott readying
to lead Astros

CMLSIEfMI FIELD
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Hous
ton pitcher Mike Scott hasn’t taken
to tossing a football to help his deliv
ery like nis former teammate Nolan
Ryan.
“Nolan sent me a picture of him
self throwing a football and he told
me the Dallas Cowboys were looking
at him,” Scott said.
“But the Cowboys have had their
problems. They’re probably looking
at everybody.”
Ryan, now starting his second sea
son with the Texas Rangers, and
Scott have their own methods for
getting in shape to pitch.
Ryan was an pioneer in the use of
weight lifting and extensive off-sea
son training to keep in shape.
Scott has resisted the trend among
some players who lift heavy weights.
Both pitchers will listen to new
ideas but then make their own deci
sion as to what’s best for them.
“Everybody wants to come up
with that new invention that’s going
to make everyone become a great
baseball player,” Scott said. “My rule
is if it helps you, do it; if it doesn’t,
forget it.”
Scott, who became the fourth 20-
game winner in Astros history last
season, would be the last to tell a
player not to try something differ
ent.
Scott might be out of baseball if he
hadn’t made a change in 1985 when
he mastered the split-fingered fast
ball that made him one of the domi
nating pitchers in baseball.
“I couldn’t just keep going out
there throwing the same pitch,
something had to change so I went
with a new pitch,” Scott said.
Scott also developed his own per
sonalized training program and it in
volves a lot of stretching.
He’s even incorporated a medi
cine ball into his routine. But he
stops short of the heavy weight lift
ing trends that have increased in re
cent years in baseball training
rooms.
“I don’t think all the guys who
look like Muscle Beach are always
the best pitchers,” Scott said. “I’m
not saying the sloppy guys are always
the best either.
“There’s just no correlation to the
strongest being the best.”
Scott’s 20 victories led the Na
tional League last season and he fin
ished second in the Cy Young
Award voting.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP)—Iftherd
is a sputter and a cough in rookie I
Eric Anthony’s major league takeo(:j
this season, Houston general man
ager Bill Wood won’t panic.
“He’s going to struggle butit’shisl
time,” Wood said of the Astros
opening day leftfielder. “My predio
tion was he’d have a good spring and |
then struggle when we get to Hous
ton and those guys start throwing I
their money pitches.”
Anthony has led the minor I
leagues in homers for the past two
season and he offered a preview o[|
his potential when he hit four hom
ers in 61 at bats with the Astros late |
last season.
It was enough to convince Wood I
and manager Art Howe to continue |
their injection of youth into the As
tros lineup.
The Astros made a commitment!
to catcher Craig Biggio and t
baseman Ken Camimti last year and I
stood behind their decision. Now it’s |
Anthony’s turn.
“The ball club has to stand behind
the players,” Wood said. “There was j
criticism last year. Look at Biggio j
and Caminiti. They didn’t set the
world afire.
“But they had the talent and the
mental approach to handle the crit
icism.”
Biggio and Caminiti emerged
with solid seasons and Anthony
thinks he’ll also make the transition.
“I’ve had three great minor
league years and something had to
be done sooner or later so this is my
chance to do it,” Anthony said.
Anthony has made a rapid ascent
through the Astros’ farm system af
ter being signed as a 34th round
draft in June 1986.
He was more noted in high school
as a tailback on the football team and
never played baseball in high school,
although he played in summer
leagues.
Anthony showed up at an Astros
tryout camp in the Astrodome and
although he was out of shape and
rusty, his skills were impressive
enough to earn him a contract.
He spend most of the 1989 season
at Class AA Columbus where he hit
28 homers to lead the minor leagues
and drove in 79 runs. He also struck
out 127 times.
He had 11 hits, four of them 1
home runs in 61 at-bats with the As
tros in the final month last season.
