RJM posted:I know the definition. I was a pitcher and a coach. But command came naturally to me and my son. I’m wondering if either have it or you don’t or can it be learned. Or is it just pitching and focusing over the years it finally comes? Most college pitchers dominate high school. They get most hitters out with velocity. With the exception of a few flame throwers it all changes in college.
High school and college ball are so different. Freshman year of college I was asked if I was stolen blind in high school with my weak move. I asked, “What baserunners?” The response was good for a practice running poles.
I didn't offer a definition, at least intentionally. My point was that command comes when the right physical skill set is matched up with the right mentality.
