BTW Jeff ... not sure how many sinking fastballs you guys see... what would you tell an 18-year-old facing one for the first time?  What's the starting point?
My dad tried out for the low minors, was a pretty good HS player, and he talks about the first time he ran into a pitcher whose fastball "sunk 6 inches.  I couldn't make contact," he said.
His coach told them to "swing under it" ...
