Johnny Babich, the new pitching star of the Brooklyn Dodgers, practices the trick of throwing "low on the outside" to batters whose hitting weakness he does not know. Low and outside is supposed to be the spot where hitters are least apt to get a good cut at the ball, although there are many who hit this type ball. Study opposing batters as they come up, noticing whether they stand back from the plate and deep in the batter's box. A batter's stance will usually give you some hint of his batting weakness. If he crowds the plate, try pitching an inside ball, which will be hit on the handle. If he crouches, keep them high, and force him to pop up.
