He eats one powdered doughnut before taking the mound, something that he’s done since the 7th grade. He also eats four doughnuts in between every inning.
When he runs out to the field, he always hops the line, because growing up, his dad always told him it was bad luck to step on it. Before every inning, his first warm up pitch is preceded by a crow hop over the mound, throwing the ball as hard as he can.
“I’ve always been a little weird, really,” Gausman said. “I like sci-fi movies and I eat four doughnuts in between innings, so that’s a little weird. It’s something that started back I think in middle school. So I’ve been doing that for a while now. And I think the way I live my life I like to be a little different than other people.”
So he's got to love the fact that he was selected 4th, no?
