My favorite one is the one that floats down the middle and goes a long way into the outfield
My freshman DD had one of those this past weekend against a senior Ole Miss commit. I call those the 210' pitch.

At the college level, how much do pitchers rely on a fastball?
DD was at a camp in Jan, talking to a D1 pitching coach. This coach made the same point, have 2-3 great pitches. He talked about several of the big time D1 pitchers over that last few years, listing the pitches they through and fastball wasn't mentioned at all.
Lately my dd has the "head hunter" pitch. Or the WTF was that pitch.
She's coming off an injury. Cut her some slack.
So I know this is mostly fun and games and I appreciate the laughs. But i do wonder when we says that so and so only has 3 pitches - how many pitches did she try and discard to find her "3" pitches. Not saying we should necessarily chase rainbows, just that I bet some of them worked through a lot before they found "wow I'm really more of a natural drop ball pitcher" where someone elses bread and butter may be their rise or curve.

Aww, I'm just playing. There have been poor experiences in the past with situation like this, so I'm ready for the warnings to show up.
