How does he know it’s not a 2 seam fastball or is he just guessing?

2 seem fastballs usually have some tail to them.
4 seamers are generally more flat.

Or he could simply be full of shite.

Tom Hart seems like a nice guy but he really sucks at calling baseball games. He’s not great at football either. He gets bored and I think he scrolls through his social media during plays. He just said Arkansas scored a run last inning.

Obviously not or he wouldn't be asking.

Always gotta be that one a-hole.

Help the person learn if you know instead of being a total dickhead.

2 seams having much more movement. 4 seamers are typically flatter but faster, i think

Super easy to see off the hand, with the rotation and the movement (or lack there of).

Actually pitch rotation is very difficult to detect for most batters. It takes lots of years and experience and a keen eye for this ! Ball movement and arm action is the most used . You can really tell who played baseball.

I think he seems like a smug a-hole.

And not just during games. I’ve heard him on local radio shows and he just exudes doucheness.
