Thanks to Mets Walk Offs for sending this over.
“It took an adjustment,” said Wright, according to Gammons’ blog. “The idea is to hit line drives gap to gap. That’s what I’ve concentrated on and not worrying about hitting balls to the warning track for easy outs. I’ve found two things. The first is that because the outfield is so huge, I’m getting some cheap hits at home. The second is that it’s going to help us on the road because you get into good habits in a pitchers’ park. It’s a lot easier going from a pitchers’ park to a hitters’ park than vice versa.”
The whole Wright article is here on ESPN.
By the way, if you like Mets Minutiae, definitely check out the Walkoffs site. Plus I appreciate Walkoffs for always getting back to me when I have dumb questions like “how many times did Tim Bogar get on base due to catchers interference?”
More amazing is that Walkoffs liked Neil Allen.
