GDP: Tommy White edition

Tommy has hit into a double play 5 times this season. Last year he also led the team in this undesirable stat with 9 and he’s almost there already.
He leads 4 other guys by 4 this season. Only 4 other guys have done it, and they’ve only done it once.
Is that what random looks like? Or what is Tommy doing that makes him more prone to hitting into a double play? How do you coach a player to do this less?

More pressure when you are “the guy”
Crews gone

More guys on base when he’s up to bat

You posted this after he hits a hard line out?

I’d be willing to bet he also had more man in first opportunities than anyone else.
He also doesn’t strike out a lot so when you put 2 and 2 together that’s what you get.

A few of his hits have been bloop singles. He is obviously stressing or not seeing the ball well. We have faith in him to come around. It's great seeing the rest of the team playing well around him. He will come around.

Might come from trying to correct for a lot of high right flares
It’s also a sign of a lot of guys on base
He’s earned the right either way, and I’m confident he will be there in the end

That last one was a bit unlucky. He crushed the ball.

He’s pressing, he’ll be fine

He hits the ball very hard with people on base. Sometimes he hits the ball where defenders are. This results in a higher percentage of double plays.

He oppos a lot which leads to some weak hits on balls not hit squarely which leads to DP when people are on base.

He's not the most disciplined player at the plate, but doesnt have the bats ahead of him like last year.

In a nutshell: he hits the ball hard and has little speed.

He should be benched!

Math and odds are more prevalent in baseball than any other sport.

Slow and bad pitch selection. Tommy is a good "bad ball hitter" but he needs to get more selective. He rolls over balls that are dwon and away that he should spit on
Posted on 3/6/24 at 9:05 pm to Willie Stroker
A lot of that is just because he doesn’t strike out often and guys are on base when he is hitting.

I’m not sure if he’s 100% recovered from his off season shoulder surgery. His swing doesn’t look quite the same. It kind of reminds me of when golfers lose confidence in their swing. They end up losing consistency and doing so many things to correct it. White doesn’t look completely comfortable at the plate. I also think he’s wasting swings on pitches slightly out of the zone too. He needs a reset.

You guys never cease to amaze me. Nothing like eating your own early in the season!!!
Posted on 3/6/24 at 9:22 pm to Willie Stroker
He was in a double play situation more than any other player in the country last season I’d imagine with the way Crews got on base nearly every at bat. More double play chances more double plays.
