goingdeep....check out Eileen Canney.
I don't want to get in the way of your great debate but a possible consideration for the "low rise" is the working of the umpire as well as the batter's zone. After all, this is a perception pitch with a low to high trajectory and if you are using a particular approach to a given team, let's say "hard in and soft away" for example, there are A LOT of very good trained eyes that will begin to give a pitcher a little more liberal zone if they have proven command of it previously. the anti drop (rise) is a great pitch to take the game out of the hands of the Blue and back in the circle. Low rise for a strike?? maybe the pitcher just fooled 2 of the people at the plate instead of 1

I've looked at almost every YouTube video of Eileen and still haven't seen the low-rise. She works a bunch of mid to high rise. Surely someone has a link or even a homemade video of this pitch. If not I'm going to go back to my unicorn stance on it. :)
