The 12 / 6 Curve

[jcar0725]

The 12 / 6 curve, and the FASTBALL up in the zone look IDENTICAL to me. I cannot for the life of me tell the difference. If you want to strike me out, throw the 12 / 6 to me with two strikes, and I'm toast. I swing 4 hours too early. K Millwood makes me look like a right FOOL!!!

that's the point...

One way to practice is to use guess pitch. Always select fastball, so when you see the 12/6 coming, you know it will be an offspeed pitch, and hence will break.

Yeah I'm not really looking for answers, I'm decent at hitting (not great). And I have guess pitch on but with "no response". I was just venting. It's the one pitch that I have so much trouble with. I found myself trying to avoid getting deep into the count, knowing it was coming - hahaha.
