Agree 100% regarding off speed. Hard in soft away is classic pitching sequence. But some guys just hit most ground balls to the pull side. See David Ort...

.327 overall vs. .280 in SEC games. Baseball Gods have humbled us in SEC play.
Moreover, .354 BABIP against our pitchers in SEC games is crazy high. Combine that with walks and you have a recipe for disaster....

BABIP - Batting Average On Balls in Play
Posted by LeGOAT on 4/3/24 at 3:22 am
Ran the numbers to see what our team BABIP is.
For those not familiar, BABIP indicates how lucky/unlucky you are with regard to where you are hitting the ball. For reference, MLB average is ~.300. If BABIP > .300, you’re “hitting it where they ain’t”; if BABIP under .300, you’re “hitting it righ...

re: Little clearly has something on JJ
Posted by LeGOAT on 3/18/24 at 8:39 pm
To be clear, the fastball was supposed to be thrown up and in, he missed his spot by about 2 ft. It was still 5 inches off the outside corner and Jordan did a nice job handling it. Had he hit his spot, probably would’ve tied him up given he was on time with a fastball 6” off the outside corner. The ...
