    The Act of Pitching by Dr. John Bagonzi is very good reading, and info. Here is a great lead in to one of the chapters:
    "One of the magical mathematical formulas that makes baseball so special is the one defining the relationship between speed and movement. As we already know, the more speed the ball has, the less apt it is to have movement. Imagine for a moment if it were the other way around; then the game would belong entirely to the Goliaths. Guile,genius, and grit would serve no purpose, and our greatest heroes would exemplify the blessing of physical genetics rather than perseverance and courage".
