A lot of people think it would be easy to hit position players' pitches. But when you're up there and you're used to 90-100 mph pitches, and suddenly you're facing a guy throwing 60-80 mph, it can be a very difficult adjustment.
@davidcaceres9184 Жыл бұрын
But those are basically off-speed pitches so it's not that hard
@Jay_Force_One11 ай бұрын
It’s not that they’re necessarily hard to “hit”. Seeing and hitting 80 is much easier than seeing and hitting a 99 MPH breaking 2-Seam. The problem is that when they hit it, they can’t do much with it. I could go on for hours about why that is (wooden bats, exit velocities, etc) The REAL reason why they do this is simply to save the Bullpen. They either didn’t have any pitchers OR they have a much more important game coming up and they wanted to save their arms for that. They can just throw a position player out there, who can essentially just force them to fly/ground out and not be subjected to Pitchers Rest (they are subjected, but since he won’t pitch again probably ever, it doesn’t matter).

It’s now more likely that we will see this in a postseason game than a regular season game. It would be pretty hard for a team to run out of pitchers now with the runner on second starting the tenth inning, it’s going to be pretty rare for a team to hav to throw more than 12 innings. With the three batter minimum we won’t see as any pitchers coming in to face one batter. All of these games went14-18 innings

There are usually only two reasons a team would do this: either the game's very deep into extra innings and they've used up their set of "normal" pitchers for the game, OR the team in question is down by so many runs that it's not worth using a "normal" pitcher.
