So from a batters perspective, how do you recognize a good pitch? Is their hand eye that good? They look at the pitchers hand on delivery? Or they just assume he's going to be throwing a certain pitch depending on the count? I've always wondered that.
You look at the hand. You can see where it's coming off and roughly determine what's coming.
