Hi, I just started playing smallball 2 weeks ago, and I have a few questions :
1. I have a pitcher with the highest pitching skill & the lowest throwing skill... does this seem weird ?
2. Which would be better ? a player with the no 2 pitching skill & no 3 throwing skill or the above mentioned player with highest pitching skill and absolutely lowest throwing skill ?
3. I'm following the pitch training tips from btb's website and am currently in day 4 of only pitching players... I read somewhere in another post that after the 12 (or how every many days of training) day, I should rest all from pitching for 2 days to see who loses the most skill... but in the trainer tips it doesn't say so...... should I have to wait those extra days ? or just go as the training tips says and continue with the top 3 guys after 12 days ?

Thanks all... Smallball is cool

1. Their positions on the list don't neccesarily mean too much. Especially if you haven't trained your current pitcher in throwing for a long time. The more important thing is how fast both of them throw.

2. Finding out which player loses pitching skill the fastest can help you, however I don't think it is that important, for two reasons:
a) You will notice how fast your pitcher loses skill anyway, if it is too fast simply replace him with #2, but usually it should be OK.
b) IMHO the best pitching strategy is to go with 2 pitchers, who you use on alternating days. If you do this the skill loss becomes less important
