You see, it's funny because Delmon Young always swings at the first pitch, no matter where that pitch might be located.
Coincidentally, he's got 68 strikeouts and 7 walks this year. For being advertised as coming with "plus power", he's got only six doubles in 245 plate appearances (or about one double per 41 PAs, for reference, Neifi Perez averaged one double per 23 at bats over the course of his career).
Ouch.
SEVEN walks?! He's almost caught up with Carlos Silva ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is one of the most depressing demotivators I've ever seen.
