You know, it's funny, all the way through (D-II) college ball, we did side soft toss, and that's so interesting how I never thought about how ineffective/unrealistic it is. Don't know of many pitches coming in at a 45 degree (if that) angle... Good point.
And that's what is so great about DFP is even if you've been there, done that, this group continues to provide new perspectives and observations....If you're willing to listen, review, analyze and consider other options (clearly you've exhibited those traits) Good luck on your season coach! Please keep us updated as it progresses
