Pitch That Goes Middle

[stpws40]

What pitches usually come right back at the pitcher?

 

[ChillyBaller]

Outside on pulls and middle in on oppo hitters. This has been my experience

But definitely outside on pull hitters. Be ready on those

 

[stpws40]

What is your definition of pull hitter just so I know we're on the same page.

 

[slick303]

Someone that pulls the ball....

 

[bigcountry77]

unless the batter knows how to hit be ready with any outside pitch

 

[Danny Kaffee]

You pitch me outside and I'm going middle. Pitch me where I like it (inside) and you get to enjoy the laser show.

 

[ChillyBaller]

Someone that pulls the ball....

Yep!.......

 

[suthrner]

You pitch me outside and I'm going middle. Pitch me where I like it (inside) and you get to enjoy the laser show.

My thoughts exactly

 

[zitro23]

I generally only end up going middle if its high and outside. I feel like if its low I'm much better at waiting on it

 

[rhound50]

low and outside.

 

[hollywood9826]

low and outside.

Agreed....

 

[Freak22]

Totally depends on hitter and how many bp sessions they have had.

 

[beernbombs]

low and outside.

This is true for me.

 

[donovan106]

If someone tries to pull an outside pitch. One that is low and out or middle and out. Those can go up the middle very easily, intentional or not.

 

[krakrt]

Short and outside is middle all day for me, but if I'm trying to hitter there I can take most any pitch in that direction.

 

[Triple7]

The pit h thrown by someone who I'm pissed off at...... Other than that I'll go the other way on outside pitches and pull inside pitches. Every now and again I'll go the other way on inside or middle pitches but never hard.
But if I'm looking to pull cause of a weak fielder and it's outside.... Duck

 

[CAJones17]

low and outside.

agreed also

 

[MarlSrSoftball]

low and outside.

Agree. That was the pitch I got hit with. When I see it going there I start backing up and getting ready. That one time I did get hit I must have had a Seniior moment as I never seen it.

any pitch to any batter is a pitch that can come back at you. whether it's a good hitter or not, it happens. typically though, your low and away stuff to a pull hitter gets you in the most trouble.

 

[jstrong]

A good hitter, any pitch he wants. A bad hitter the outside ball that he pulls but because its outside he puts back up box. Its all about placing your hands, if you keep your hands in and bat head back you'll put inside pitches right back up the shoot.

 

[Beast28]

Short pitch to me(me hitting). If it is up in the zone it gets elevated, pitcher has no worries, even if it comes middle, it will over his head. When I hit short pitches that would land in front of the plate, look out. Ankle high rockets.

 

[TexasTransplant]

Low and away with a two strike count.

 

[EVILHOMER360]

any pitch once, I've used up my strike and extra foul

 

[east bay j]

As a left handed pitcher the following scenario's have a greater potential to go middle:
1) An inside out curve - batter thinks its inside for a pull shot but ball tails over the middle
2) Any low pitch over the middle or outside of the plate
3) Any outside pitch - most experienced hitters can go opposite field on these, rec league heros not so much

My reverse spin pitches always go inside out on a righty. On a good day I can pitch it directly at the batter & hit the inside part of the strike zone. On a bad day it tails over the meaty part of the plate and I'm back peddling as fast as I can.

 

[blldwg23]

low and outside.

^^^^^^^^^This right here.

 

[Bayne]

low and outside.

Every damn time

 

[Wupang]

It's underhand, just about every pitch can be taken middle, unless the umpire is making you stay in the batters box.

 

[blakcherry329]

It's underhand, just about every pitch can be taken middle, unless the umpire is making you stay in the batters box.

There's a batter's box???? ^^^^^Exactly. Every pitch is a potential middle shot and should be viewed as such.

 

[BLACK DEATH]

To me it's any pitch can be sent back. They pitch me inside, it's a shot at the head, outside pitch its a shot at their feet. I've seen any and every pitch go back at me when I pitched n catched. Just keep ur glove up to protect the head, the rest will heal.

Short pitch to me(me hitting). If it is up in the zone it gets elevated, pitcher has no worries, even if it comes middle, it will over his head. When I hit short pitches that would land in front of the plate, look out. Ankle high rockets.

I agree with that ^
