I agree with your point. However, he’s the 2 hitter for a reason…they’re loaded and the pitcher is struggling locating that 101 heater. Sometimes you’re looking to attack and sometimes you have to make him throw a couple strikes. That was not a great at bat. It is what it is.ITS 101 MPH. ITS NOT REMOTELY AS SIMPLE AS YOU THINK IT IS.
But we're not talking about people on this board....we're talking about dudes that are going in the first round of the MLB draft. They better damn well be able to hit a 101 mph fastball....period.No point explaining it. A lot of the people watching this guys stuff and still not getting it probably couldn’t hit a 85mph fastball on mlb the show, much less real life.
