Back when I coached my son’s travel ball team, I got into a bit of an argument with a parent one day. We had a kid throwing straight gas one game. The other team had trouble making any contact with his fastball. This parent comes to the dugout and tells me we should call more off speed stuff to “fool them”. You know, the team that could not make contact. When I made the point that slowing down our pitches helped them, he said to trust him because his cousin was Darren Daulton so he knows a lot about baseball. We did not call anything but fastballs the rest of the game and won like 9-0.
