This first sentence of your post is the important point!Agreed, in principle you want to hit every pitch location equally well.
That said, the reality is that I showed you that even the best hitters in the world have a "weakness" relatively speaking so as a hitter you want to minimize the number of times you swing at those pitches..that is all I am saying.
My experience and perspective comes from being a successful fastpitch hitter and catcher. Calling pitches! Teaching hitting also. Coaching at elite levels.
Will say without doubt certain hitting mechanics struggle hitting a riseball.
Will also say again trajectory of the pitch in fastpitch is NOT the same as baseball.
* 2 facts are important~
The riseball is only an affective weapon if the batter cant hit it!
A batter can work with mechanics that will increase greatly the ability to hit riseballs and all other pitches.
That is the best goal!!!
If a person mindset "thats too difficult i just wont swing"
Is taking the wrong approach!
Take notice of opportunity now to develop not having a weak spot in your hitting!!!
