The job of the pitcher is to throw the ball close enough to the plate to tempt the batter to go after it.
He really doesn’t want to throw a strike right down the middle.
If he can throw it close enough to make the batter think it’s a strike, he will swing.
If the batter swings at enough balls, he will either strike out or pop it up for an easy out.
Right and wrong are like this.
Sometimes it’s not a clear ball or strike. Sometimes it looks good, but it really isn’t.
Best to make sure before you swing.
