With the deadened baseball this season, guys are gonna have to re-tool their swings again. Kepler may get "back" to being a better hitter. Find the swing that got him here.
Kiriloff's swing reminds me of Kepler's when he first showed up Before he changed his swing for the juiced up baseballs' arrival. I hope he wins the LF job.
I like to see guys playing in their best, with the most experience, positions. Polanco at ss? Noy if he is a better 2b. Arraez in left? Is that his best position? No. Quit putting guys out there that are not in their best positions.
The players who adjusted their swings to elevate their fly balls will be hurt the most. Kepler's swing changed. I hope that sweet swing he came with returns.
I wish I could get excited or even interested in these graphs. Old school. I know it and I admit it. The thrill of turning humans into data plots? Can you make them scratch and sniff with a hot dog aroma?
Guys retooled their swings for the juiced up baseball. Then they removed the ball from the game. Now we see more lazy fly ball outs. Hmmm. Kepler's swing is not the lovely swing we saw in his first couple of inspiring seasons. Who else? Rosie? Jorge? Guys paid a price for abandoning their swings. Imo
