Reply to "Pitching Inside"

I think there is a big distinction of HPB due to a hitter diving in with no fear of being hit due to all of the body armor, versus an intentional HPB. I have heard several of Gibsons interviews where he claims he was never trying to hit guys on purpose, but of course some of the inside pitches to move hitters back "got away from him"....who knows.

It was really a struggle for BFS Jr. with his HS coach...all he wanted was low and away, and that is just not how he pitches...he always establishes the inside part of the plate, and will go low and away later in the game if needed. Luckily success is rarely criticized.
