Watch as Coach Randy Simkins explains his pitching staff's general goals. One of the 1st two pitches must be a strike and the pitcher needs to win the 1-1 count which opens all options for the next pitch selection. Pitchers must strive for a 70% first pitch strike scenario to be able to pitch ahead of the count. Avoid lead off walks as the baserunner will score 75% of the time and avoid ridiculous pitches that don’t look like strikes.
