6-4-3 = 2
We sometimes play pitchers who don't have a curve, so let's say the outside change was a "rule" (ie, habit of the pitcher/coach/catcher.) We already narrowed outside to drop (not curve), and if we can narrow change to only outside, wow, I would love that. Helps us decide how to attack. Then we can look at spin or something to pick up the change.
Yeah... I have my pitchers and catchers hold a sign up before each pitch that says, "Dear batter, here comes a change." The whole point of a change is that they don't know it's coming... So I could care less if they know where the ball is going to end up on a change... because their bat will have passed that spot long before the pitch arrives.
Why would you throw only outside drops?! Geesh... that's half the problem, right there...
