Check swing

[Steve M]

Bob,
Doing college ball, I know that you're almost always getting the strike. The only time I give a batter a break on a checked swing is when the ball breaks way inside and the batter has to not only check the swing but bail out to avoid getting hit. Although I did have one last year where the ball broke hard inside and the batter bunted at the ball in a self-protecting manner. I had to get some help from my partner on that one as I couldn't see through her back.
