[QUOTE="eokerholm, post: 871052, member: 5007"] That is what scouting reports are for. You don't see the pitchers pull out the scouting reports or notes on every batter like you do the fielders so they know what to expect and where to shift. I also don't think the pitchers are the one calling their own pitches. Coaches have the reports, notes, and data on every player and call the pitch in. The pitchers have plenty on their plates and are dealing with a lot. Runners on base, threats of steals, focusing on that pitch, delivering the called pitch and to what location. Lots going on. The lab, metrics and ball flights are for them to visualize and analyze ball movement and paths so they can better understand the effects of grip, pressure, location, spin and movement and what that means to their pitching package and offerings and how each pitch looks and acts differently. THAT is what the lab is for to to get to a certain spin rate and win a carnival prize. It's learning what to do and how to use your various pitches, grips, and options to confuse and beat the batter, pitch after pitch. Oh and let's not forget as we all sit at our keyboards, they're also 18-22+ years old and also full time students at a REALLY HARD school. With class loads, tests, projects and labs, significant others, college life, and oh by the way ALSO full time athletes and on TV. No one is trying to screw up and no perform or deliver. So definitely lots going on. More enjoyable and less stressful to sit back, root them on and try to enjoy the ride. It truly is amazing to watch given what they are asked to and and what they can do with all the above. Just my $.02 [ATTACH type="full" width="163px"]12237[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
