There aren't many pitchers who can consistently command a breaking ball on both sides of home plate, a longtime talent evaluator said Wednesday afternoon. Most pitchers can command a fastball on what pitchers and pitching coaches refer to as their "arm side" -- for right-handed pitchers, that's inside to right-handed batters and away from left-handed batters -- and they can command their breaking ball to what they refer to as their "glove side." For a right-handed pitcher, that means outside to right-handed hitters.
