I need help on hitting that outside fastball on the black hard the other way. Everyone is always talking about the power "L" but that is only on pitches middle-in. What about that hard fast ball at the knees on the black. How do you reach that pitch with still having the torch and power to hit it hard down the line. Someone please help me!!

"What about that hard fast ball at the knees on the black". Where else would you hit it FAIR? Of course, being content with fouling it off might be preferable, but assuming you hit it FAIR, hitting it down the line would be more logical than trying to pull the ball up the middle.
