I also had DD that pitched for years and wa taught by a college / olympic pitch coach. Yes he did teach hitting spots of the plate also but he contends that good pitchers are tring to throw as few called strikes as possible and a lot of off plate pitchs that would appear to the batter to be a strike and get them to swing at and miss or hit the pitch in such a way that it could be handeled by the defense for an out. He never emphasized the need for KO as much as controlling hitters.
