Thanks, I think it's much harder than baseball also. I'm new to FP but I haven't seen much on picking up pitches.
we have 2 coaches in our organization (I am one) that played college baseball, switched to fastpitch and would never go back to baseball. We talk about this stuff alot. This story happened the year before i took over as pitching coach. We had a coach, nice lady, that taught HE, arm swing back and everything change your step, your stride, everything for each pitch. We had talked to her about picking pitches and she laughed it off. One night he stood in the rh batter's box and i in the left. Both of us called every single pitch before she released the ball. We laughed, she didnt and neither did the pitcher.
