Absolutely. The best athletes on a team are pitchers. They know how to use their hands to create whip. In softball they're the best hitters. Unfortunate that most coaches dont let them hit. But some do and the coach is rewarded for it. Heres a fact for you mr drodd if a softball player can pitch they can hit.
This has not been my experience. The 3 best overall athletes I've had the honor to coach are all non-pitchers. I've seen very athletic pitchers, and some who weren't. I've seen good-hitting pitchers, and some who weren't.
Based on current batting averages on my DD's current 14U TB team, our pitchers are ranked 5th, 9th, and 11th.
Your "fact" is not actually a fact.
