Text | [from an interview of Wright] The pitcher must stand with the ball in plain sight of the batsman all the time, and that is going to be a great help to hitting. When a man can watch the ball all the time he can judge of its course and has a better chance of hitting. The curve ball won't go for much hereafter, because if a pitcher attempts to pitch a curve the batter can tell by the movement and position of the hand just which way the ball is coming, and will be able to judge it so accurately that the curve will be useless. |
