our pitchers will be throwing from both 40 ft and 43 ft this season. and in discussions with the other coaches some believe that we should only throw fastball and change up @ 40 ft and the movement pitches at 43 ft? the reason being that @ 40 ft that ball doesn't have enough time to move? my arguement is,the reason they moved back to 43 ft is because the PITCHERS were dominating the game at the 40 ft range. and even though a fastball is better @ 40ft than it is @ 43ft,why limit your pitching staff if they have other pitches? and as i read on another thread,the batter has less time to react to movement at 40ft, making it even more advantage for our pitchers. i understand that you will have MORE movement at 43,but you also have more reaction time???
