Text | Cummings still pitches a ball having a strong bias given it, and the result is that its rebound is so eccentric that the catcher has to be as active and sharp-eyed as a cat, and very sure of hand in order to escape of record of passed balls. Moreover, when these biased balls are hit to the ground in the in-field, they diverge so greatly from a straight line in rebounding that it is just as difficult to field them in front of the bat as behind. Hence so many errors at short field and third base from hard-hit short balls in which the pitcher has previously imparted considerable of a bias. |
