Jjfitch12 replied to the thread When is it time to give up?.One question: how many pitches a week does she throw? And by “pitches” I mean from full motion to a catcher. There’s obviously no magic...

Jjfitch12 replied to the thread Welcome to Bulletspin Season!.One of the best around (based on whom you identified earlier in the thread)--and probably better known for his riseballers, which just...

Jjfitch12 replied to the thread Welcome to Bulletspin Season!.Exactly. And here again, a little data would help a lot of pitchers. Most athletes gravitate toward either a drop or a rise. You can...
-
Jjfitch12 replied to the thread Welcome to Bulletspin Season!.I think the counter argument is: why not just throw a drop or rise inside, both of which move more, thus minimizing the margin for...
-
JI actually think it would make the game way more interesting for every one involved because you couldn’t have the same dominant pitcher...

JI disagree. What I've seen are a lot of coaches who ride two pitchers so the other players who want to pitch give up because they never...

Jjfitch12 replied to the thread Pitching 700+ pitches in two days..I am not sure it is an opportunity issue so much as basic demand. Most college teams have a few ex-high-school pitchers, who were...

Jjfitch12 replied to the thread Welcome to Bulletspin Season!.I agree it is not a “simply can’t.” As I said above, actual data shows east-west movement in softball—it’s just fairly small (about 2-4...

Jjfitch12 replied to the thread Welcome to Bulletspin Season!.They really are different, not only because the ball size, weight, velocity, and throwing distance are fundamentally different, but more...

Jjfitch12 replied to the thread Pitching 700+ pitches in two days..No, the rule should be 400 or 450–whatever it is, the number is so far below 700 that no one could say it was “arbitrary” to outlaw 700...

Jjfitch12 replied to the thread Welcome to Bulletspin Season!.This is what I mean about being in the stone age. We are trying to judge the efficacy of a whole genre of pitches based on how the...

Jjfitch12 replied to the thread Pitching 700+ pitches in two days..A rule against throwing 700 pitches in two days isn’t “arbitrary.” There is no world in which that amount of work would ever make sense...

Jjfitch12 replied to the thread Welcome to Bulletspin Season!.Maybe so, but my point is that the camera angle gives the same pitch a different look. The view from the catcher has more backspin...
