Question on pitch calling, at elite level D1/Pro.
Two example questions-
- At the top 10 D1 schools, when calling a rise ball for example, is the coach calling height AND inside/outside? If the coach wants a rise at the knees, is that called along with inside/outside?
- Same for something like a fastball, although I know a fastball itself is probably called much less. Regardless, how is this called. (Great example of this is actually MLB catchers calling a fastball inside/outside with a finger and a movement towards inside or outside. You dont see whether he wants that at the knees or at the letter. Do you think the pitcher is deciding based off the scouting reports?)
