you are getting angles very, very wrong. The difference between a 2.3 and a 2.4 degree angle are huge, if you look from really far away. Let's start close. Assume we are on a unit circle (with diameter of 2 ft) For every 1 degree of seperation, there is a (pi*2)/360 difference at the edge of the circle. When the circumference moves to 121 ft (2x distance from mound to home plate. It is twice as far because we are pitching from the middle of the circle, not the edge, so we must assume that the edge of the circle is 60'6" away), this changes to (pi*121)/360, or roughly a little over a foot. divide that down to get a tenth of a degree, and we still have a very noticeable difference. Hardly noticeable? You may just be swinging in the dirt.
