    Your favorite set-up pitch/strike out pitch

    12-6 curve low and away, then the cutter up-and-in has proven to be simply lethal for me. I like to use this setup when the count is 1-2.

    Again, I've found the cutter up-and-in to be just NASTY!

    The cutter up and in has been the pitch most likely to be tattooed for me. I like the slider low and away to set-up, and a 12-6 curve really high that when it breaks down it lands just slightly on the corner or up in the zone. I get the batters off guard with that one. 60% of the time it's a K, but it has been hit hard by some of the better hitters faced.

      Set-up pitch - Fastball, high & outside
      Strike out pitch - Splitter, low & inside

        probably a 2 seamer on the outside followed by 2 seamer high and tight to roll in on the hitter (which sometimes gets the K) and if they don't take the bait I follow with a slider or curve that starts at the hitter and thenmoves back into the zone. Usually gets them lookin

          Curveball Low and outside (for a strike)
          Change Up Low and inside (just below the zone to see if he bites.)
          Fastball High and inside, sometimes outside (for a strike) I get a lot of looking K's

                    I usually seem to get people out with a good change down and away.
