I watched a game last week where the catcher was told to only call a fastball and nothing off speed. The pitcher was pulled after 3 innings and 4 runs. Too bad too, because this pitcher worked hard to develop a nice curve an drop ball that would have worked well with her speed.
I also know a high school pitcher who doesn't pitch for her travel team by choice. She kind of took last summer off from pitching except to practice once in a while. She was put in a game, and her speed was about 45 mph. Wow, I have never seen her drop ball move so much and be so effective. The batters looked silly trying to swing.
A pitcher that can mix speed and movement--that is who I would take.
