That is it's sort of one of those staples principles that as a hitter, you have to understand if you are worried about
about being late on the fastball, the off-speed, it's going to bite you because you are going to be on rush mode and you are going to be panicking.
And as soon as something looks like the fastball, you will chase the off-speed on the dirt.
Fine.
But if you're not going to see any fastballs in the zone, I'm okay because I've also understood that.
then you have to sit off speed because this guy is going to give it to you.
You just sit off speed.
If you have to sit slider, sit slider all day long until you get it because you know you will.
It's not, you're not guessing and you're not going, you're certainly not going up the menu.
You know they have that in the menu.
So you will be able to get your slider.
It's all a matter of getting in the strike zone, get it high enough, and then you go after being on time for it.
So you're absolutely right.
Palanta did a great job of that.
You know, hey, I'm going to show you this, but then you'll never see it again.
And now if you are just on the fastball, the off-speed is going to get you.
You know, one thing that's worth pointing out is that sometimes we think about off-speed sliders and we say, wow, that slider moved a lot.
In reality, the reason why we miss those off-speed pitches, number one reason is because they look like fastballs, but they're not.
So we swing at those knowing or thinking that it is a fastball and it's not a fastball.
So deception is the number one reason why we swing and miss and look bad on off-speed pitches.
