Do all pitchers hop over the baseline when they are walking back to the dugout after an inning?

Or is it just a quirk for some and others just walk normally and occasionally step on the baseline?

Yes.
Bad luck to step on the line

lmao i bet you step on the cracks of a sidewalk too

what if a pitcher has been slumping?

couldn't he try stepping on the line every time and then see if that changes his luck?

All personal superstition man

Not gonna say I wore the exact same outfit for most Giants wins in the 2014 postseason but i'll let you do the math

so are you saying you think there are some pitchers who don't share that particular superstition and don't check the ground to make sure they step over it?

Bartolo Colon maybe cause he's too fat to skip or jump

I think part of it is from youth baseball too. Lime is expensive and you arent supposed to fuck up the lines.

yup. everyone has their own things

I think some people just want to watch the world burn, and step on any cracks or line they see. Most people, though, don't step on any lines or cracks. Especially pitchers.
