Ball gets crushed? Throw it again.

It goes against all logic. The guy just hit the ball 400 ft. foul and you want me to throw that same pitch again? Yes.

Here is why. There was a count associated with that pitch and on that count you threw the wrong pitch. The hitter obviously was looking for what you threw and you barely survived the experience. So, now what.

Throw it again. Many, many times the hitter will assume "well, he won't throw that again." Wrong. By throwing the same pitch that has now become unexpected you will catch the hitter off guard and often times get the same pitch to be taken. If it's in the zone you'll get a strike out of it. If it's in the zone and it's strike 3, you'll ring him up looking.

It's quite a thing of beauty when the pitcher gets the strikeout one pitch after seeing a ball demolished by the opposition.

Keep an eye on this thing in professional baseball. Now that you have something to look for it will surprise you how many times it happens.
