Throwing the ball on a downward plane, and skipping to the target can get you increased speed. Some are very good at being "showcase players" but don't necessarily bring the same skills to the field.
Explain a little further.

Is this about pop-times for catchers? I've heard that on artificial turf, or an extremely well-kept grass IF, a one-hopper right on target does not lose much velocity or accuracy. But I'd be skeptical as an approach...
