Thanks to M.S. for sending this over. It appeared in the ESPN Insider which you need to subscribe to, so I don’t want to be uncool and post it….but the gist of the article is that when Wright is hot he crushes fastballs when ahead in the count…
But during this slump, Wright has seen 11 fastballs in the strike zone, in hitters counts. And he’s taken eight of them!
• He’s taken two fastballs in the strike zone when up 1-0.
and then they break out the count several ways. Interesting stuff, and the insider is cool to sign up for, and I suggest you do, and read the rest of the article.
(I wrote this on Friday so I could hit the beach so if Wright hit 5 home runs last night and you’re like “what slump” that’s why.)
