Pitches in the dirt

I’m using 2 cameras derived from RETRO cam. Main one where strike zone is more or less centered and a second one when I’m facing a pitcher with low pitches arsenal like tons of change up or splitters.

That second one having the strike zone a bit higher than the other one ( or cam lower if you prefer). I found it a lot easier to detect those low pitches that way.

Only thing is I find high fastball more difficult. That’s the why I’m swapping cam based on pitcher style.

that's genius. I don't know why it never occurred to me to have camera angles crafted according to different pitcher types. I always just wanted the widest camera available, wide enough to see both fair poles. sounds simple, but effective. those nasty overhand 12-6 curves eat me up, especially when they only go 58 feet. this could completely change the way I think about hitting. for years I've lived and died with my pitching but if my hitting was equal to my pitching, I bet I could rival Joe Torres Yankees dynasty lol

thanks TC!
