  • Preparing Hitters For College Pitchers [D1 Daily]
    Dec 4 2025

    On this episode of the D1 Daily, Burkie and Roons talk about preparing college hitters for opposing pitchers. Some of the key concepts were velocity ranges and whether the pitcher's out-pitches create swing-and-miss within the strike zone. They discussed the validity of being "above or below hitting speed". And they also debated the value of pitches used solely to steal a strike. Roons may or may not have compared a 5-pitch college lefthander to the Loch Ness Monster.
