No 2 fastballs are the same
Understanding your pitch shapes is important to understanding how to best utilize your arsenal.
Shooting for higher numbers on a Trackman isn’t always beneficial. A 12v 12h 4seam may be terrible for an average slot pitcher, but may be elite and play up for a super low slot pitcher.
Would adding a 2 seam to your arsenal make your other pitches perform better? Is it worth adding? Can you make it competitive? These are the questions you need to ask before you say “darn, it doesn’t have 20h movement so it’s not good.
Let’s get rid of that”
Know your pitches. Know your arsenal. Make sure you have a reason for any intentional changes you’re making.
