What you need to know as a batter is what is that pitchers 'out pitch' as they call it . What does he throw a vast majority of the time to get a guy out for strike 3 ? He may be a 100 mph speed pitcher but that doesn't necessarily mean that he goes to fast ball on 2 strike pitch especially if he is ahead in the count .Basil Shabazz wrote: ↑16 Jun 2025 08:52 am They need to be coached to sit fastball and adjust off-speed versus looking off-speed.
You can not look off-speed and adjust to 100 MPH heat.
Waino was do ineffective the last few seasons because they could sit on his curveball and adjust to his very slow fastball
