...So like anything else - need to be able to assess your players and the pitching they are facing and get a balanced philosophy. Also it doesn't hurt to have some flexibility and not be dogmatic across the board with any particular approach in this regard.
Sadly though, that’s not true of the vast majority of coaches. Once they find something that works well for one player, they make it a panacea for all players from then on. 
Because of the minimal time they have with players, the dearth of knowledgeable staff they have access to, and the minimum $$$$ they have to work with, I don’t hold it against them until they’re given proof of something “better” but they refuse to change.
