Why in the hell does Dye always take a perfect strike down the plate but swing at breaking balls in the dirt?

 

We've talked about this at length. Considering he doesn't have a great eye, and is very prone to swinging at offspeed stuff in the dirt, it's not a good approach. Basically, he's putting himself in a big hole, and really only one good swing before he needs to protect against the slider in the dirt, etc.

Watching tapes of Sammy Sosa maybe...

 

Thing is, Sosa would trick pitchers sometimes, and he's swing out of his ass on the first pitch heater down the plate. Dye doesn't seem to be changing anything.

And Dye K's on the low breaking ball.  Walker needs to train him not to love that pitch.  But almost all of his homers have come on golf shots on low breaking balls.

 

Can you say slider speed bat? One of the most common signs that a player has passed his peak, and his career is on the downslide.
