According to the stats, about 2/3 of major league pitches are outside. Mosy homeruns are to the pull field and most of these pitches were not "mistakes" where the [itcher goofed and threw in. According to the stats, over half of the homerun pitcges were outside. This is prrof that most major league homerun hitters are not onlt PFO'S but they also clearly understand the principles of top hand torque and bottom hand torque.
