In Sandy's own words:
"I became a good pitcher when I stopped trying to make them miss the ball and started trying to make them hit it." And the whole idea of 'weak contact' is within the pitcher's control - Are they consistently ahead or behind in the count: are they grooving a ball down the middle of the plate, or painting the corners; are they disrupting a batter's timing??? Great pitchers consistently pitch ahead in the count, paint the corners and keep batters off balance - and induce weak contact.
