In this episode, Ashley Tobar Sunshine and Dr. Laura McDonald take on one of the most talked about topics in college softball right now. Pitchers getting hit, walks going up, and whether command is actually the problem.
Their take? The conversation is missing the point. Pitchers are not getting worse. Hitters have gotten bigger and more powerful. And an obsession with hitting spots at the youth level is building a generation of pitchers without the craft needed to succeed at the college level.
From Stuff Plus modeling to spacing issues to what elite tools actually look like, this episode covers what the conversation should really be about.
