A great many pitcher, in their efforts to learn how not to do it, in their ostensible attempts to pitch to the bat, go to the other extreme, and pitch so wildly, that the most lenient umpire finds it necessary to call balls upon them. Now a pitcher can pitch to the bat, and with apparent fairness too, and yet not send in a ball where the batsman wants it. To do this neatly, and so as to avoid the penalty of wild pitching, constitutes true skill in the position.
