MLB General Discussion (Official Thread)

I don't watch a ton of baseball, but with a season on the line, I'm not sure I trot out a guy who apparently exclusively throws one pitch......that pitch being a change up.

I didn't quite make it to the bigs, so correct me if I'm wrong...but doesn't a change up lose its effectiveness when you aren't changing anything up? Doesn't it just become a slow fastball at that point?

Yeah, seems to me that a change without a fastball is just batting practice.
