This is beyond wrong. You can't even put Abbot and Osterman into a category with top level men's FP pitchers. Their top speed would be that of a change up to someone who pitches on a middle of the pack team, not even one of the best. And this isn't a secret, they know this. I've had plenty of conversations with both about pitching, other pitchers, etc. Take either of these pitchers, make them pitch against a men's team, between moving back another 3 feet (men pitch from 46 feet), their back swing (hitters would know what's coming well in advance), and their lack of ability to throw is past a anyone would be a recipe for disaster. Quite simply, they don't have the speed to blow it past a hitter with men's FP experience.
Last month in Dallas, I had a convo with Kellani Ricketts about the above type situation. She mentioned that a casino in California was considering a team in the NPF, and as a promotion they put Rickett's NPF team in an exhibition game vs a men's team. The men's team had Tony Mancha pitching, who's a very good pitcher. Ricketts said it wasn't even close.
Both Cat and Monica have pretty good spins on their pitches. Monica has more side spin (not bullet spin, more like a curveball) on her rise than Cat does but they both have the closest I've seen to "correct spin" on other pitches, which is why they are among the top 2 in the world for the ladies. Right now, Garcia's best weapon at the international level is that she's an unknown. The Japanese haven't seen much (if any) of her. She will be USA's #1 going forward, no question. Unfortunately, the USA women will be back to reality after this year without the Olympics... struggling for funding.
You did a lot of explaining over something that I didn't really comment on (or didn't mean to comment on).. What I was trying to infer is that Garcia is in the VERY rarefied air of truly top level pitching, she's not throwing "hanging curves" because her spin isn't DFP approved.
Comparing men vs women was not what I was trying to do.. That doesn't work for golf, weight lifting, fastpitch, darts, or really anything. Elite men pitchers can be at the top of their game (for me, I'm not at all interested in it) just the same as elite women pitchers can be at the top of their game. Garcia is a elite level pitcher.
