## Caption

Back in my day (that makes me sound old as hell), hitters were barely hitting .220 against splitters and cutters, but the best ones had a secret.

They were studying pitchers’ grips and release points before they even stepped in the box. Some even tracked how a pitcher’s arm slot changed between fastballs and offspeed pitches to pick up early cues. That’s easier to do today with Trajekt.
