The weekly WHATCHAMACALLIT should be considered by all players of the game. As a batter, or as a fielder (especially pitchers/catchers)...
What does it mean to
"set up a batter"?
"set up a batter"?
Answer: The pitcher and catcher have a perfect opportunity to strike out a batter by having a gameplan. One example would be to throw two inside fastballs then throw an outside fastball. To catch a batter off guard might mean to throw a change-up followed by a fastball, or vice-versa. It is also important to have a total game plan. It is important not to throw a changeup in the first inning, so by the second time you face each batter, they don't know you even have this off-speed pitch. A total game plan might mean starting the first three batters with inside fastballs, then to the fourth batter throw an outside fastball to start. Predictability is key. If a girl is crowding the plate, push them off with an inside pitch, if a girl is too far away from home, then throw them something they cannot reach. If a girl reaches for an outside pitch, throw them another one even further out to see if they will chase it.

When your pitching it means to either:
a)throw maybe two inside pitches then an outside or vice versa
b)throw two fastballs then a change up
Overall it means to get the batter ready for a pitch then throw something that they don't expect.
how you set up a batter is to to throw two fastball then throw one change up or just get the batter set up and throw something that the wont expect, or you can throw two strikes and one change up and they would swing at the change up and the will be out.
how you would set up a batter is to would either throw two fastballs then throw a strike and you would get the batter out our you can throw something that wont except at all so that is how you set a batter up
It means when the batter thinks your going to throw one pitch you actully throw another one instead.
GREAT JOB GIRLS!!!
