I have been asked this as well as pitches that are supposed to be rises, screwballs, etc.
From behind the plate and sometimes from the field I can tell what they are throwing before the release.
Not always but enough of the time.
My standard answer to the coach, "Yes I can some of the time coach." Then I end the conversation or change the subject.
I answer a reasonable question with a reasonable answer. I dont' get into coaching.
Off the field and away from the games, we might have long philosophical discussions on the pitching but not on the field.
