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

Dear old Dad100+ posts

I think the two words get used in different ways to describe a pitcher. Example:

Player 1) What do you know about the pitcher were facing today.

Player 2) I heard he is a control pitcher.

The word command would not work in the above sentence.

Another example:

Player 1) He's got great command of his curveball today, it's breaking sharp and late.

The word command is used to describe the quality of the pitch, not how accurately the pitcher is throwing it.

Just a couple of examples of the subtle differences of the two words. Of course, there are times when either word could be used effectively to get your point across.
