Need advice regarding what to do when umpire has a down the middle strike zone. My thoughts are to change eye level up and down in blue's zone, lots of changing speed; FB, off-speed, change-up and changing timing on delivery. What I mean by changing timing on delivery is Hal's varying how long the ball is held in the glove and also "quick-pitching" or just touching the ball to outside of the glove then no back swing and aquick one step pitch. How have other pitchers handled having to pitch meatballs right down the middle.
Would like to hear what others have done to succeed despite the zone being squeezed.
