Feller Advised To Use Fast One
Walter Johnson, famed pitcher, advised rookie Bob Feller to rely on raw speed rather than spot pitching. Johnson said a strong pitcher with speed to spare should not chase precise spots and that Feller’s generation defining fire could extend his career if he avoids artificial spot aiming and uses power to overpower hitters. He noted Feller’s control may be imperfect but sees potential for a long, dominant career with a simple fastball down the middle or a curve when needed.
