[QUOTE="eokerholm, post: 939870, member: 5007"] Everyone touts "Command over Velo", but they [B]recruit via Velo[/B]. It's a fact! Depends if you want someone that can paint the corners and hit spots, get weak contact for outs or you're going for someone a little more wild and get more swing and misses. Common theme is people prefer the weak contact to keep the fielders engaged, vs sitting around in high K games. I see both view points. If your guy is shoving, let him shove. Defense should be elite enough to wake up if the ball is hit in their direction, but agree, more engagement better for less errors.... but with weak contact you run the risk of a blooper sneaking through, etc. When teams would come to PG and play east cobb, they would throw their slowest guys and the elite hitters would have issues re-timing it. So closers just need a change of velo or stuff to be something "different" to the batters. One isn't necessarily better than the other. Maxwell sold more Pepto Bismol with all the anxiety induced and walks, effective but couldn't paint. Outs are outs. Just get outs! [/QUOTE]
