Text | [Atlantic vs. Mutual 6/27/1864] Last season McKever’s pitching, like that of several others, was made effective by his skill in what is called “dodgy delivery,” that is, the balls he pitched, though apparently for the striker, were not such as he would strike at with any chance of hitting fairly. This style of pitching, and likewise the inaccuracy resulting from efforts to excel at speed, it was that led to the introduction of the new rules in reference to pitching, and hence McKever’s style in this season deprived of all its effect. |
