So obviously Jake did very well in college with her riseball and this coach was an idiot, but is there any bias in general against riseball pitchers? Is there anything at all to the idea that college coaches prefer those who throw a drop ball?
When coaches say things like this, I wonder where the heck they get it. Did he maybe talk to one coach one time to had a preference for drop ball pitchers so he just ran with it? I'm so confused when coaches say this kind of stuff.
Throwing an effective riseball is more difficult than throwing an effective drop ball, and a poorly throw riseball usually ends up in the parking lot while poorly thrown drop ball usually give your defense a chance to make a play.
