Strikeouts over groundballs hands down.....for the reasons mentioned above. My DD is a groundballer for now and I am grateful that she keeps it in the infield, but it would be great to see her be able to hit another gear and blow it by a girl when needed. Especially on those hitters counts. Also, when she gets an ump that is not giving the knees she is really exposed.
One thing I don't understand is why more pitchers don't have both? I can understand the drop baller not mastering the rise ball, but rise ballers not being able to develop a good drop doesn't compute for me. When I watch Escobedo I always think she would be even more devastating if she had a drop.
FYI- Cat has been quoted as saying her favorite pitch is a drop and she was a strikeout pitcher if there ever was one.
