North High Pitching Philosophy
Master One Pitch...with command and control when needed. Develop another and master both.
Control your counts; get outs by missing bats and getting weak contact. ATTACK weaker hitters!
(Pro tip) you control the game... pace/tempos are set by you.
YOU ARE NOT ALONE, 8 other players are ready to GET OUTS and want the ball. Are you a Dictator or a Distributor of OUTS?
Defending the run game. Time to plate (1.5 sec), varying looks, pics, and command is ELITE PITCHING.
"Barry Bonds was the easiest batter I ever pitched to.... I just didn't, I walked him. There were other outs in the Giants lineup." said Greg Maddux.
