Just to add... Charlie was a highschool pitcher, and could throw a fast ball in the mid to high 80s, which is the reason he looked so comfortable and natural on the mound. To make it appear as if the ball was moving faster than it was, the mound was actually moved up. Also - Charlie admits to being on steroids for this movie in an attempt to get his fast ball even faster.

LOL! I remember that part of the movie. Here are a few of Tom Berenger's (aka "Jake Taylor") ensuing lines from that scene: To Charlie Sheen (aka "Rick Vaughn"): "Just relax, I'll take care of that" To the A's hitter: "By the way, I saw your wife dancing last night, you must be real proud of her......". This line distracts the hitter just enough for him to hit a high foul popup above home plate on Vaughn's first pitch. Taylor jumps up and throws off his catcher's mask and says, "Ah, this one's over, I don't think it's got the distance!" and catches the popup for the final out of the game. :^)

Obviously it’s a movie, but this scene illustrates that if you’re a pitcher with an overpowering fastball, it must always be your go-to pitch in a tough spot, regardless of how good your off-speed stuff is. This especially applies when facing a great hitter. If he gets around on it and connects, so be it. Odds are much better he’s gonna swing right through it. A breaking pitch, on the other hand, can work just as well if not better, but there’s so much less margin for error. Anybody who knows baseball knows what happens to a breaking pitch that doesn’t break, especially against a great hitter.
