I'm going with the 30 year pitching coach who says "Why would you leave any more of your job fate in the hands of 18-22 year olds than you have to. It is hard enough to get them to take batting practice, go to class, learn what they have to know to make good grades, and work on their catching skills. Why would I add in the hours of video and information that I watch on each batter for the other team to know what pitch to throw? I can put that information on a piece of paper and I would expect them to memorize it? Plus having to know what pitches that 15 different guys throw. I would never expect that much of a college kid to spend hours each week memorizing the tendencies of 3-5 teams a week."
