I know we have gone round and round on this but it's been awhile so lets ask;
{THIS IS ALL HYPOTHETICAL AND DOES NOT REFLECT A REAL PLAYER OR TEAM}
There are two schools of thought on pitching;
A: PITCH HARD AND FAST WALKS BE DANGED K's are King
B: Controled and efficient, walks are a sin and strike-outs are fascist (but we'll take 'em when we get 'em)
What is better at 14U and above:
A: pitcher with speed and questionable control (55+ mph 6+ BB, 7k, 80+ Pitches a game)
- OR-
B: pitcher that can hit spots with some movement and pitches to contact for easy infield or pop up outs (generaly)
(50~54 MPH 0.5 BB, 3k, 45 Pitches per game)
I know for sure the Speedballer will get more looks by most travel ball coaches but what about College coaches
Thoughts?
