I'm wondering what is considered good sharp sideways break on a drop curve once it bites. I'm asking about a late breaking pitch last 4-6'. Thank you.
Sluggers, I generally agree with you. But as I stated many times location is the most important part of pitching (along with a change of speed). A little movement with great location is better than great movement with lousy location. Until my pitcher can spot the ball on a dime, the movement is my least concern. Having been a pitcher for years and a fan for more the best pitchers are not necessarily the ones with the best pitches.
There are many ways to get it done.
My DD isn't throwing hard enough for a proper rise, but she has struck this girl out 5 or 6 times in a row without ever throwing a ball in the strike zone.
