Reply to "A 'scoutspeak' question (Control vs. Command)"

Okay i guess that makes sense. So command is basically control with a lot more fine tuning to the player's control? Why would scouts grade pitchers on both then? Why not just grade them on their command only?

Can you have a pitcher with above average command but below avg. control? Similary, can you have poor command and great control?

And what exactly in this case then would the term 'effectively wild' mean? Does this mean good control (in the strike zone) but horrible command (pitch can end up anywhere in the strikezone)?

Yeah obviosuly this is a bit confusing for me. Maybe a sort of scouting or a player example would be good. Not sure who though.
