ESPN Article: Gausman Learning as He Goes

Found this article by Buster Olney about Guasman getting respect from Miguel Cabrera upon striking him out.
Gausman Learning As He Goes
Pretty cool that he is getting so much love, especially as a current reliever.
Gausman Learning As He Goes
quote:
In the midst of an at-bat against Cabrera on June 2, Gausman threw a fastball down and in with the count 1-1 to make Cabrera move his feet. As Fernando Rodney learned over the weekend, Cabrera can take offense to having fastballs in the area of his head, but he seemed to understand what Gausman was doing, and why: He looked out at the rookie and nodded.
Then Gausman threw him an off-speed pitch, and Cabrera -- with his extraordinary eye-hand coordination -- managed to foul it off with an emergency hack, and again, he looked out at Gausman and nodded.
The count reached 3-2, and Gausman aimed a fastball at the outside corner, mid-90s paint. Cabrera took it for strike three to end the top half of the sixth inning, and as Gausman walked off the mound, he saw it again --Cabrera giving him a little nod: Nice job, Kid.
Pretty cool that he is getting so much love, especially as a current reliever.

Cabrera gets a lot of heat for his off the field stuff, but he comes off as a great guy on the field

sounds like BS to me, but one of the first things a kid learns, as a batter, is not to interact with the battery
ETA: I know it's different at that level, but I'm still calling BS
