You cannot use strike percentage dogmatically to equate to command. King Felix always had very high strike percentages...he developed command and the very next day, his strike percentage DROPPED!!...it didn't go up. Having command is not the same as throwing strikes. Moyer still heaves the ball over the plate...or tries to...but instead of hitting a teacup 99 times out of 100, he's hitting a target the size of a baskeball hoop about 50% of the time. He's missing up in the zone more (higher FB%), he's walking guys when he can no longer get the corner in bad counts, and he's getting hit more often from his mistakes. That's all command...it's not just nibbling. Here's a clue...he ALWAYS NIBBLED.
