But you can add to that the fact that a sensible pitch er won't waste needed energy to cut hard at the ball; that some figure they're doing enough work just pitching and that as a rule they Just dont hit. All of which simmers down to the realization that hittlnr a baseball is becoming stereotype stereo-type or, if yon will stylized, according to position. There now appears to be a pre-con-ceived notion as to just how much a player should be able to hit because of his position. Take them in a row and it's like this: 1 1. Pitchers aren't supposed to hit and don't as a rule. 2. Catchers can get by fairly well with a strong arm and a belt in the clutch. 3.
