big shmooz Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 But Barry Zito tips off his pitches. Most pitchers as they wind up to pitch hide the ball pretty well, but Zito uncovers the ball from his glove way before he is about to release the ball, so one can see his color code & therefore is able to read his pitch.

tolcou15 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 that is good to know, but you should watch pitchers a lot because there are a lot of pitchers that tip you off pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcousticNut Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 That's an aspect that I really love about this game. You hear how some pitchers "hide" the ball well.... now we can have some understanding of what they're talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thr33niL Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I dont even use the batters eye anymore. I found myself concentrating more on the what pitch was coming rather than its location. I actually hit better with it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schitonk Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 i too concentrate on the pitch type more than location with it on. my strikeouts are way down in 2005 vs. 2004 (non 'tipping' of pitches). i think there's a trade off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
