Hopefully one of the 13 batting coaches has taken notice of this as well and they can make some adjustments quickly. I'm not suggesting the recent malaise is due solely to approach. Its just not a good lineup to begin with. But they need to find and employ any advantage they can. They need to minimize any disadvantage they can.
That ain’t gonna work. The pitch comes in, he’s going to have to recognize it and then remember he has a note about that to look at, look at the note, then refocus on the pitch and swing and hit. Are you aware how fast these pitches are being thrown?
I think a lot of lists get taken as more linear than they should be. I think tiers rather than an ordinal list would make for a better report. The talent pool is more of a pyramid than it is a line.
OK, so take the upcoming draft. It sounds like there are 5 guys that are interchangeable at the top. The difference between 1 and 5 is not considered the same as the difference between 5 and 6.
