Episode Notes
Mike Butcher joins Halo Territory hosts Mike DiGiovanna and Mark Trumbo to discuss baseball's velo obsession, the lost art of reading hitters' swings, how pitchers can go deeper into games, the importance of "down-and-away," and how there is--or should be--room for the input of scouts in a game that seems to suffer from information overload.
