Inside pitching

Inbaseball,inside pitchingis a tactic used bypitchers.It involves throwing a pitch close to the batter to make it more difficult to swing their bat, and result in making less solid contact, known as "jamming the hitter." Pitchers with good control are usually more likely to pitch effectively on the inside. It is possible to be effective at disrupting the hitter while also being in thestrike zone.When employed correctly, this can result in making a hitter hitpop fliesor weakground balls;also, rarely, it causes them to break bats. Depending on the exact height, location, and/or type of pitch, it can result in abrushback pitch,or, in the case of a badly controlled pitch, ahit batter.Despite the dangers that it poses to batters, it is a common and legal tactic.
