CADad, if you look back, you will note that I said velocity is important. However, without control, you will just walk alot of guys. I agree that movement is also very important. There is no question that velocity is king. Velocity will get you looks. Velocity without control will only get you so far unless you learn how to control your pitches.

Velocity, with control along with movement AND off speed pitches that you have control over will get you anywhere you want to go.

I still say, no matter how hard you throw, at a high level of competition, the hitters will catch up. If you are just chucking it down the middle, it will get hit. I really think pitchers should focus on velocity, but you cannot forget about control/command.
