Why? Are pitchers not capable of making throws? Or catching pop ups? Or fielding ground balls? Of course they are, until it’s been trained out of them.
There isn't an EYEROLL reaction on here....so here it is.
Pitchers are doing hard underhand throws all game. Much better to have the 8 other players make the good throws for the plays.
There are definitely times where it makes more sense for infielders to make the play rather than the pitcher, but it’s silly to think they’re working too hard pitching to waste their efforts folding balls right to them. That’s just laziness.
