Going from a 1:3 bb:k ratio to a 1:1 overnight is unheard of bro lol.


Have you watched him at all this year though? He's swinging at far fewer pitches outside of the strike zone, and I believe I read that only one other player in the majors sees more pitches per plate appearance than Herrera.

Herrera really isn't swinging that much less than the rest of the league. The league-average swing rate is 45 percent and he's at 43 percent. The difference comes with swings on pitches out of the strike zone. On pitches out of the zone, the league average swing rate is 34 percent and Herrera is at 28 percent.

Bro...his BABIP is really high and his line drive % actually went down 7% from last year lol. He is getting lucky.

Not saying he isn't good but he will regress.

That is just Votto being modest.

You can't aim hits like that lol. You can try to pull etc but you can't aim between OFers or IFers.

Phillies pitching sets a record for most Strikeouts per 9 innings in the opening month of a season in MLB history with 10.193 K/9IP.

Starting rotation is leading MLB with 5 shutouts, has 162 K's (most in MLB) and just 36 BB's (4th fewest in MLB).

Keep it goiiiiiiing
