The outside hitter takes the hardest swing in the rotation, the one that comes off a pass that was not quite where it should have been, against a block that knows exactly what is coming. Every team has one. Not every team has one who takes half the offense and passes the other team's serve as well. Recenlty we ran the setters, the back row and middles.
