Command is a lost art. To revive it, we need to think differently. The groundwork has already been laid for that to happen.
In this video, we'll explore an objective way to examine command, optimize catcher targets to a pitcher's advantage, and shrink your miss distance. We'll even chat with the soon-to-be AL Cy Young winner in 2024: Tarik Skubal.
It's all part of a larger goal to examine how the game is changing and how the sport can keep one of the best marketing tools it has alive--the starting pitcher.
