Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 2176900, member: 289"] Ron darling giving a great talk on how pitchers used to save their hardest throws for certain situations and now they try to throw 100 mph on every pitch. I think the rise of the radar gun and the keeping of stats on the fastest pitches and % of 100mph pitches has caused pitchers to unwisely use their best stuff all the time. He compared it to hitters finding out they can hit home runs early and swinging for the fences all the time instead of becoming all-around good hitters, which is the cause of the horrific walk-to-strikeout rations these days. You would think the coaching staff's job is to coach pitchers and batters out of these tenancies. [/QUOTE]
