    A little simplification on my part but the point is belt high fastballs go for joy rides

    A belt high over the middle fourseam fastball is batting practise if the batter is sitting dead red.

    A mistake two seamer in the same location is a mistake if they are looking fastball, but still might be a lucky pitch that is fouled off especially if the batter was looking for something else.

    It is hard to take a single pitch out of context. What would be a terrible pitch in one situation would be a great pitch in a different situation.

    And a belt high fastball when the batter is looking change up or curve is an awesome pitch.

    I would elevate it more, though.

    My statement was in context of 1st inning pitches to get ahead in the count which for the most part in early innings…..was a fastball. Fastballs in first 2 innings against South Carolina. The coaching staff mixed it up with Waldrep….. First time in 5 games against SC that they didn’t score in the 1st two innings against us this year.
    No one is arguing certain pitches in certain circumstances can be effective

    It’s weird, but Virginia is a slight favorite over us in Friday’s game, while oddsmakers have us as having a better chance at winning the title.

    Betting math makes for strange odds.
