Pitchers

In baseball, a pitcher is the player who throws the ball toward the batter, aiming to start each play. The pitcher's goal is to deliver the ball with specific speed, movement, and placement to make hitting difficult while also strategically considering the batter's strengths and weaknesses. They often use different types of pitches, such as fastballs, curveballs, and sliders, to deceive the batter. The pitcher’s performance is crucial because their ability to prevent the batter from getting hits directly influences the game's outcome. Effective pitching combines skill, timing, and strategy to outsmart the opposing team.
