3 Hints For Smarter Baseball Pitching

1. With a runner at 3B and less than two outs, always go with power. Throw a fastball and hard breaking pitch as opposed to a change up. 

2. If you are in trouble, think about pitch location and pitch movement, not pitching velocity.

3. Smart pitching is when you get a baseball hitter to hit an unprecedented pitch when you are behind in the count or in trouble.
