Command and control are 2 different things. IMO you first must master control. That’s essentially where your mechanics come into play, where they are repeatable no matter what pitch you throw. Once your control is established, then you move on to command. In your example, if you have run on your 4 seam (more the better) then you want to command it. Meaning, start it off the plate and have it run over, or start in the zone and run it off. Once you’re able to command the movement, your coach can go back to picking daisies.
