Baseball doesn't actually need defending. It's one of the world's great global games and is enjoyed in various forms by hundreds of millions of people every year. It's going to outlive all of us, I promise. But because of baseball's historical and cultural position in America, it is constantly subjected to a weird kind of forensic analysis that isn't usually applied to other sports: is it dying? Is it too slow?
It's a little bit of a unique grip. I use more of the seams on the splitter, which I found is not quite as traditional. But I really like it because I can still think about being aggressive, like a fastball down, then just let the grip do the work and trust it.
