Reply to "Pitching Inside"

More importantly it forces hitters to speed their barrel up to get to the inside pitch.  Once the hitter has sped his barrel up he opens himself up to not being able to stay back on off speed or even a fastball to the outside of the plate.  The reason the inside of the plate is neglected is because most youth ball coaches do not understand this and don't want their pitchers to leave a pitch over the plate or hit the batter.  Unfortunately most HS coaches I have run across feel the same.
