Since the Eck was first, I suppose you can name it after him, but the guy that came to my mind was Jamie Moyer. He preached going soft when the hitter was likely to be aggressive, like a younger guy with men on. He'd throw a changup, then a slower changeup, then break out the Bugs Bunny pitch for strike three. He got them thinking about the changeup so much they couldn't think of anything but the changeup. How else can you explain him being able to throw a 79 MPH "fastball" by a major league hitter? They were looking for that changeup, then their brains locked up and couldn't adjust to a pitch that they'd normally mash into the next zip code. If Moyer ever decides to go into coaching, teams ought to camp out on his doorstep to get the chance for him work with their young pitchers.
