I thought they were all wild pitches! (Well, I would, wouldn't I?)There's another possibility -- getting crossed up. And that can be either's fault, down to a lack of communication, a pitcher getting "creative", the catcher not knowing enough about the break of the pitcher's pitches.
In MiLB, it can be pretty much anything. Mine's gotten the chance to catch a few rehabbing MLers ; he fell in love ---- when they throw a pitch that's meant to break 7 inches, it breaks 7 inches....every time. His LE pitchers may throw the "same" pitch....that will go five different ways out of 5 pitches. Their whole emphasis at his level is consistency....heaven knows it isn't holding baserunners!
Hooray!!!!!! I'm listening to the game now and guess who just came in to pitch to my boy! Prepster's son --- battery mates again! His Dad e-mailed me just as I was leaving the office so I called Aeden and he was over the moon. He was in the locker room at the time and he whooped --- "Rob's coming! The guy hits his spots and wants to win!" K'd his first batter, too. The two boys must be pleased, comforting to get to a new team and know your catcher; great to know the new pitcher from the catcher's view as well. Line out to 1B for the second out. Announcer (who calls a pretty good game) is complimenting Rob's mechanics. Poop, broken bat single. Getting ahead of his batters consistently. Another K! Nice introduction to High A, RW!
