Why are left handed pitchers valuable?

Lefty pitchers are valuble because they are a rare commodity. The ball comes off their fingers at a different angle and arm slot than would a righty typically and could be different for a batter to see. The way the ball moves is different in that a curve/slider will cut the opposite way (along with other pitches having different movement). The main reason is that against a lefty batter the lefty pitcher is highly affective. The batter doesn't have as much time to guage where the pitch is coming from, the spin the pitcher puts on it, or the velocity. This is the same reason why righties are more affective against righties and why a manager will pull a pitcher or put in a pinch hitter for these matchups.

How fast did Baseball pitchers throw in the 1930's?

In the 1930s, baseball pitchers typically threw fastballs in the range of 80 to 90 miles per hour. While some exceptional pitchers, like Bob Feller, were known for their speed and could exceed these averages, the overall velocity of pitchers during this era was significantly lower than today's standards, where many pitchers consistently reach speeds above 95 miles per hour. The technology and training methods of the time also limited the ability to measure and maximize pitch speed accurately.

How do catchers signal pitchers during a baseball game?

Catchers signal pitchers during a baseball game by using a series of hand signals to communicate the type of pitch to be thrown. These signals are typically given by the catcher using a combination of finger placements and movements, which are pre-determined by the team to keep the opposing team from decoding them. The pitcher then looks for these signals and adjusts their pitch accordingly.
