We dont call the change near enough.
We throw alot more 4 seamers than 2 seamers. I see other staffs with guys throwing 88-90 getting alot of run on the ball whereas our guys stuff stays so flat. I know power arms are all the rage now but when you throw 88-91 movement should be your primary concern.
Between all that, pitching decisions, recruiting decisions- I just think there are better guys out there than what we have
I like this post. It seems that we are obsessed with the 4 seam but you have to have the right guys for it. I can’t think of one pitcher that we have other than B. Smith that I see a good bit of arm side run from.
That said, does a lot of it have to do with the gaps in recruiting?
