Tips against junk ballers
-
Do any of you have tips or strategies to use against opponents who are good at dotting the edges with guys like Maddux or Keuchel? I weakly ground out all game. I’m thinking next time I will just take pitches to try to get them to come up higher in the zone or at least try to get into the bull pen. I’m not complaining, just looking for tips against these types of pitchers. Unfortunately, I suck at pinpoint, so I’m still using meter, which isn’t great for me to try to pitch with these guys. Some dudes are beasts with pin point everything is just out of the zone or right on the edge. It’s incredibly difficult to square up anything

Take pitches until you figure out the pattern. Even the best players fall into a routine with pitch selection and location. Then sit on one pitch in one zone. Example: look for the curve in the bottom left third and jump all over it.
