Command and control are two more examples of pitching vocabulary that can cause confusion. At the NPA, we have unique definitions for each. Command is used to describe the ability to consistently execute a certain pitch type, or as a 'command pitch' that a pitcher can trust to locate whenever necessary. Most developing pitchers start without a command pitch, until they can consistently harness a fastball. But by the time a player reaches the majors, he usually needs to have command of three different pitches to keep hitters off balance. Control is what we use to describe a pitcher’s ability to locate a pitch at any given time, as stuff will vary throughout the season or during a game. A pitcher might have exceptional control of his curveball today, but when he is faced with a jam and runners on the corners, he might go to his command-pitch fastball that he knows he can locate low in the zone. Kevin Goldstein has offered other definitions of command and control, with control representing the ability to avoid walks, and command defined as locating pitches within the zone, and hitting specific targets. I think that Kevin’s definitions are outstanding, and like the NPA versions, they describe two unique aspects of pitch execution. Ideally, we can use Kevin’s definitions in conjunction with the NPA’s to better describe the ability to locate a baseball.

any input would really help me

Salaries fluctuate because of management's stupidity. One or two or even several seasons of good performance does not guarantee even one more good season. Players get older and their skills usually diminish as a consequence. Anyone, who risks big money plus a long multiyear contract on an older pitcher, had better buy insurance to back up their usually thrown away money.
Batting averages change with every charged at bat. If the batter hits, the batting average will go up. If the batter makes an out, the average will go down. Put very simply, you can ascertain batting average by dividing the hits by at bats. For example 100 hits divided by 300 at bats = .333 batting average.

I'd contact a local batting cage or local college and see if they're willing to donate/sell some of their used equipment.

How long would a baseball take to travel 60 feet 6 inches--the distance from the pitcher's rubber to home plate--at a speed of 100 miles per hour?

It would take 0.413182 second for the trip, and be traveling at 146.66666667 feet per second.

I was thinking 1.5" or 2" in diameter.

id go with 2 inches, or maybe even 2 1/2

they are bigger than they look. if anything, you want them to be too big rather than too small

Its not a curve ball problem because I hardly throw curves.
Its a strange pain that runs threw a vein into my ring finger on the posterior side of my arm after pitching in baseball. it only hurts if i don't throw on rest. And it hurts after pitching or throwing really hard not during. Whats the problem?

bad muscle problems, rest for a week with ice onn it every now and then and maybe a painkiller or two, depends how you feel. if not better after this ask your Doctor.
