He is not going to walk. Why pitch to him when Moncada's splits are terrible batting RH? Just bad managing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksnort Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Moncada aced 4 times on low and outside corner looking... That's gotta be a record? Meanwhile we have a player in the minors who has yet to strike out and he's advanced 2 levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Moncada is his own worst enemy. How does a hitter get called out on strikes, 4 times in one game? What ever happened to the notion that you don't take anything close, with two strikes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Exactly, at this point he has no hit tool at all. Needs to foul these pitches off or shoot it to LF. I've been surprised at how few balls he's hit hard the opposite way.

Lillian Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) Yes, good hitters foul off a lot of those two strike, close pitches. They also can take the outside pitch, the other way, for a hit. The good news is that this is something that he is certainly capable of doing. It is simply a question of his mindset. He will learn and I certainly hope that he is being coached to do so.
