Identify the Type of Pitcher Categorize pitchers into three types: roll-out-of-bed, double-take, and a dude based on their pitching abilities.

Adjust hitting approach based on the type of pitcher faced.

Analyze Pitcher Tendencies Look at strikeout-to-walk ratios to determine aggressiveness at the plate.

Understand how pitchers start and finish hitters to develop a game plan.

Study Pitch Movements Utilize movement plots to educate hitters on pitch movements.

Differentiate between east-west and north-south pitchers to adjust hitting strategy.

Create Individualized Plans Tailor game plans for each hitter based on their understanding of pitch movements.

Emphasize sticking to the plan to beat the pitcher and avoid falling into their traps.
