Landry and Dean are both having the same problem,neither one of them wants to hit the ball to the opposite field. They are both dead pull hitters who struggle with balls on the outer half of the plate.

Fundamentally our guys are pitiful at the plate in general--mainly the lefties.

Every good pitching coach and pitcher with some decent stuff and good location can strike out our player consistently because of their fundamental problems at the plate.

It is unbelievable to me that starting college players for a top 10 school in the country are never taught the fundamentals at the plate--makes no sense.

Some are better than others, but Leon for example has major problems in his swing.

I went to the friday night game. Sat right behind the left side of the plate so i had a good view. Dean wasn't within a foot and a half of the third strike on his 1st 2 ABs. His head was looking at pluckers, hips were facing walk-ons and the pitch was outside!! I think he's pressing too hard. He already dropped landry in the lineup, might not hurt to drop dean too. I wouldn't sit either though, i think they'll come around
