When Facing Hitters With Long Swings And Slow Bat Speed, Don't Throw This Pitch!

I'm talking about the change up.

Don't throw change ups to bad hitters who've got slow bats or long swings. That's the only pitch that they can hit. The change up is a pitch that you only want to throw to good aggressive hitters.

It's better for right handed pitchers to throw the change up to left handed hitters. And vice versa.

If you're going to throw the change up to right handed hitters, you've got to start it outside of the strike zone because it's going to back up into the hitter. That's a tough pitch to do!
