Baseball - Approach To Pitching
They say that good pitching stops good hitting. But what makes a good pitcher besides how hard he throws. If you ask Tom Glavin, who doesn't throw hard enough to knock a tin can off of a shaky bar stool, he'll tell you that it's all in the approach. And a lot of that has to do with knowing your hitter. In a situation where there is nobody on base, the pitcher deals with each batter one on one with very little regard to anything else, with some exceptions which we'll get to later. In a normal situation the pitcher has to go over the batter's strengths and weaknesses, which he will get from the team scouting reports that they go over before the game. There is no such thing as the perfect hitter. Everyone has at least one weakness. It is the pitcher's job to try to exploit that weakness.
