"Pitcher" by Robert Francis, other than the obvious repetition tone doesn't focus to much on a specific literary technique but instead it focuses more on uncovering the techniques and goal of a pitcher in baseball. This poem also compares the goals of a baseball pitcher to maybe a quarterback who instead would try to throw the ball, with intentions of it being understood and easily "read". This poem openly expresses the "hidden methods" that may not be seen or understood my a member of the audience.
Francis uses repetition on tone and "line meaning", in order to allow the reader to understand what exactly he is explaining. He also breaks the description of the pitch up into small sections to show the actual importance and thought behind what the pitcher is actually trying to accomplish.
