Become a better 2 strike Hitter: Where does the catcher set up most of the time with 2 strikes? What % of pitches are outer half and what % are inner half? If pitcher does throw on the inner half, is the pitch designed to be a strike or a pitch that he wants you to chase outside the zone? When the pitcher does throw inside, is it intended to be high or low? What pitch does the catcher call with 2 strikes most often? Fastball or breaking ball? What % of 2 strike pitches that the catcher signals are fastballs? What % of 2 strike pitches that he signals are breaking balls? What is the difference between a 80mph fastball thrown down and away, compared to the same speed up and in? What is the difference in reaction time?
