It wasn't too far from the first pitch to Sano that was called a strike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to line up against Zack Collins the same for both Sano and Celestine even though Sano is taller with an upright stance while Celestino is crouched.

I was going to post it but figured with the way people around here lose their fucking minds about the strike zone it would be 100% yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 So what looked like at least 65 pitches for Berrios ends up at 52 cause our 2 best hitters decided to get out on the first pitch. Ugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A crouch should have zero impact on a strike zone. A crouch prior to the pitch that doesn’t reflect the batters actual batting position shouldn’t have any effect, but Celestino clearly assumes a lower actual batting position while Sano a higher one. It is feasible a batter changes his actual batting position, so basing a strike zone on his position from another at bat is faulty. Lengthening the stride for example would lower the batters actual batting position. Hitting with minimal bending of the leg and short stride a higher one Edited July 7, 2021 by Vulture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
