The post about taking something off the pitches to get more movement is interesting. It makes me wonder:
Do these great arms have big hands and fingers or small hands and fingers? It would seem logical to learn how to mix speeds. But once you get above, say, 97 mph, is 90 a changeup or is it giving the hopelessly overmatched hitter a chance to catch up?
It would also seem to me that if the pitcher's hands/fingers are small, it would be harder to do as much with movement. But it would also seem that at 97 or higher, especially if you can acquire any notion of location, you don't have to worry about movement.
