Preparing Hitters For College Pitchers [D1 Daily]
On this episode of the D1 Daily, Burkie and Roons talk about preparing college hitters for opposing pitchers. Some of the key concepts were velocity ranges and whether the pitcher's out-pitches create swing-and-miss within the strike zone. They discussed the validity of being "above or below hitting speed". And they also debated the value of pitches used solely to steal a strike. Roons may or may not have compared a 5-pitch college lefthander to the Loch Ness Monster.
