Year of the Pitcher
In baseball people have talked about how it might be the Year of the Pitcher. They say it might be the Year of the pitcher because pitchers are starting to get very dominate to the game of baseball. In the past pitchers were considered very good if they were hitting 90mph, now pitchers are throwing high 90's and mid 90's with other pitches such as the change-up going down as low as low 80's or high 70's. As a batter that is very tough to hit because of the reaction time, you have about a second or less to decide to swing and if it's a good pitch, but if someone throws a 75mph change-up after throwing a mid 90's fastball it is very hard to adjust. When you are a batter you are successful if you were batting .300 batting .300 is only getting three hits out of ten, but those three hits are much harder now.
