Approach to Pitchers
-
Every once in a while, I run into a player who flat-out doesn't throw strikes.
I just beat a guy 3-2 with this approach.
No complaints!
It almost certainly works against most players, but despite being an average hitter on my best day, I always take a lot of pitches.
The aggravating part is when these players DO throw a strike, it's usually paint.
How do you guys approach these opponents?
I try to just sit in a spot (usually low and in), and spit on everything outside that area. -
I used to be a free swinger, but I am much better now at taking pitches. I make them throw strikes. If they are going to try to throw everything on the edges, I shrink my strike zone. Sooner or later, balls start falling into the middle of the plate. If somehow they are dotting, then I need to open up my strike zone. Totally fine with guys not throwing strikes. I have the biggest run games when I am walking.
