You just can't do that.

But if you're going to look in, you've got to force him on the plate.

That's the thing, right?

You noticed last night, that's how the Rays get you out consistently.

They let you get yourself out.

They'll get enough called strikes in to get you to start expanding and following them around that ball closer to you if you're a right-handed hitter.

And...

When you do that, then all of a sudden they start pulling the string with the changeup, and if they can throw something that's spinning, right, that starts sort of in the same plane as those heaters.

And they do it with velocity, which is not the easiest thing to do.

So you've got to be real good at what you're trying to do and what you want to swing at.

I'll do some asking around.

Yeah, I think it's a little tighter delivery.

I think it's a little bit better extension.

I think the grip is –

You know, kind of where you're holding your finger the tightest, that kind of thing.

I think all those three things will add up to effortless velocity.

Now, he's talking more.

You'd rather see the 92s than the 90s, right?

Yeah, he was kind of in the middle last night.

You know, there was more.
