For those aware of what PITCHf/x is in the MLB, take a look at this post:

Ben Sheets stands on the left side (his right side) of the rubber against LHB and the right side (his left side) against RHB. Take a look:

Ben Sheets vs. LHB

Ben Sheets vs. RHB

Very cool stuff!

EDIT: Had the LHB/RHB switched. My mistake!

    interesting. something my son was doing instinctively before he started working with a pitching coach. also something I’ve been pretty strict about telling my 11-12 y/o’s not to do it!
