Fast, change, drop, curve, screw, rise, backdoor, peel, etc.
I would think that balls moving on a vertical plane are more difficult to hit than those on a horizontal plane, therefore a rise and drop are more effective than a screw and curve. Or not?
And if our DD's spent the time they spent on learning a screw and curve and dedicated that to more time perfecting a rise and drop, these fewer pitches could be even more deadly. Learn to change the speed on those and add in a changeup and things become very challenging for batters.
I've read that some have been extremely successful in having only a few pitches.
Interested to see some of your thoughts on this.
