Pitching Strategy vs. Certain Hitters


Posted by: klp () on Thu Feb 13 11:29:35 2003


I am a high school fast pitch softball coach. We are getting ready to start our season. My question is: I call the pitches or sometimes my catcher does. How do we determine what a batter's weakness is? Sometimes we look at where they stand in the bat. We try to figure out if they are linear or rotational. If they are linear what is the best pitch to throw or what is the batter's weakness? If she is rotational with a definite lean back on her axis - is the rise her weakness. A Bonds type swing - is the weakness is out. A Sosa swing - is the weakness IN? A girl with no power - is the weakness IN? A hitter with no load - IN or change? Can anybody help me or give me some references so I can better understand how to call a game and try to pick out a hitter's weakness.
