According to the stats, about 2/3 of major league pitches are outside. Mosy homeruns are to the pull field and most of these pitches were not "mistakes" where the [itcher goofed and threw in. According to the stats, over half of the homerun pitcges were outside. This is prrof that most major league homerun hitters are not onlt PFO'S but they also clearly understand the principles of top hand torque and bottom hand torque.

Hi mb,

It makes perfect sense, since umpires are reluctant to allow pitchers to throw inside for fear of "beanball" pitches. This allows the hitter to move closer to plate, making these pitches, as SBK once suggested, seem like inside pitches.

If all one has to worry about is outside pitches, PFO's will thrive.

As will their stats.
