Baseball Pitcher Research Paper

389 Words2 Pages

The game of baseball cannot begin without the action of one position.

In basketball there is a lot of focus on the point guard. In football there is a lot of focus on the quarterback.

These are important positions, but there is no position that is more important than a pitcher in baseball.

There is so much responsibility that involves a pitcher. From throwing different pitches, knowing the various hitters, fielding their position, pickoff moves, to controlling the running game, to dealing with adversity, mental focus, and dealing with fatigue, a pitcher has a lot to deal with.

If one of these important parts of pitching is missing, you do not have a complete pitcher. Missing one of these components negatively affects all of the other components.

  • The National League Should Adopt The Designated Hitter Rule

    Positional hitting data provides good insight to the difference in hitting between a pitcher and a DH. In 2015, NL pitchers hit 0.132, while AL DH's hit 0.264 (“Page”). In terms of WAR, NL pitchers were worth -1.2 WAR in 2015, and AL DH’s were worth 21.5 WAR (“Page”). This data shows that using a DH improves offense, which is important because low-scoring games make baseball boring. The impact of the DH on AL offense has been felt ever since the DH was introduced in 1973.

    Babe “The Great Bambino” Babe Ruth was known as one of the most memorable baseball players because of his slugging. Normally pitchers cannot hit very well, but this was not the case, he could slug like no other. His batting average was .342 (“Babe Ruth Stats.”) The highest batting average you can get is a .400 so to be fifty-eight points off of a perfect batting average is not something that is easy to accomplish.

    Baseball pitchers have to be extremely explosive and create force to produce a good pitch. Some factors that go into a pitch would be velocity, movement, and position. There are many types of pitches that an athlete can do and follows a similar pattern but the factors change. If a pitcher wanted to throw a fastball, they would have to change the velocity of the ball but if the pitcher wanted to throw a curveball they would have to change the type of movement they do. The ultimate goal for any baseball pitcher is to get the ball into the catcher’s mitts without being interfered by the batter at home base.
