bballman,
Sorry but as important as control/command is, it is not what it is all about. It is about the mixture of velocity, command and movement and of the three command is the one a pitcher is more likely to be able to develop as opposed to come by "naturally". That's why the ones with velocity and movement get the looks. Fortunately, the reality is that pitchers can improve their velocity, especially earlier on if they work at it. Ask Bum. However, the pitcher who focuses on control and off speed pitches to the detriment of developing velocity is most likely headed toward a dead end. A pitcher can work on both. Ask Bum.
