I don't understand why a mid 90s 2 seam with run directed at the hands is not a great 1-2 pitch? I will admit, I believe in pitching EV but high inside with run to me is least likely to "hang" and get banged
Because they often hit the batter.

I actually like that pitch 1-2 (even with the reality that none of my guys are anywhere near 90's). Yes, you want to work down and away often but you have to own both sides of the plate and you have to show a few pitches up on occasion to keep opposition honest and stretch the hitter's sights. The only pitch I never want to see inside is 0-2. A free pass on 0-2 is a cardinal sin. But a common offensive strategy to somewhat even the odds when behind in the count is to get closer to the plate. So, after 0-2, a P better be able to get back to working inside if he has to.
