oh and if velo is the #1 factor across all age groups on determining batting avg against, runs scored against and hard hit avg against........why the hell would you not want to work it and improve it?

its really clear from those metrics its the #1 factor in pitching success....yet we still have old school guys who say..."just throw strikes"

makes no sense.

I see where you're going and you're not wrong, but a lot of times these guys can throw 99-100 but have no idea where it's going. This is why I have said twice before that actually learning how to locate and pitch is more important than being able to throw it through a brick wall. If you are able to do both, then that's optimal.
