Here's a great video using pitch f/x data that really represents a tutorial on pitching from the hitter's eyes focusing upon the cut fastball.
It's chalked full of useful information that took me a lot of sweat to learn by watching, hitting and talking and it really kind of highlights the battle between the pitcher and hitter.
Anyway, it's a great example also of how scouting and technology are beginning to meld, the direction instruction may be going in the future and frankly, it's just cool to watch...
