Offspeed pitching, 6 area zone pitching, and two to three change of speeds
is required at the pro level. Your most effective pitchers are the ones who can do this. Rachel Garcia is a good example of a pitcher that moves the ball around and changes speeds effectively. Even she was beat in extra innings the other night. Just shows how good the hitters are in this league. Emma was working on her off speed early in the season, but went away from it as the season went on, she seemed hesitant to throw it when the games were on the line. I guess she was worried about giving up more walks since she couldn't throw consistent strikes with the pitches later in the season. Emma will find her way in the league as will Cori. We have to remember they are playing against 5 to 6 year pro's!

Without some reliable change of speed it's going to be tough to . . .

Were her non-strikes subject to ump bias or was she just off-base[sic]?**

Don't think that's true. I've often said 'she's a very good pitcher'.
